food IS a theme park
We’re continuing to see ways Disney is becoming more tech-y.
World of Disney
Over the last year, Mobile Order, Mobile Dine Check-In, online hotel check-in, and more have become BIG things. Another addition? Mobile Checkout for select stores! We’ve previously seen this feature at Mouse Gear in EPCOT and Everything POP Shopping at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, and now, it’s been introduced somewhere else.
We’ve seen quite a few changes in Disney World recently! LOTS of festive decorations have gone up recently, and holiday snacks are popping up around the parks and resorts (one of which wasn’t even sure what holiday it was celebrating!), and the Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance morning boarding group sign-up process has changed.

But that’s not all! Check out the 7 newest changes in Disney World that you’ll want to know about and prepare for in advance of your next Disney trip.
Disney World is encouraging the use of virtual check-ins for dining, hotels, and Mobile Orders.
Pop Century Resort
Earlier, we reported on Disney’s new Mobile Checkout feature that allows you to scan and purchase items in a Disney gift shop. The system was being tested in Disneyland then made its way to Mouse Gear in EPCOT. One more gift shop has been added to the virtual check out option in Disney World!
Things are constantly changing at Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
You may be thinking — “it’s only Disney, how much MAJOR news could happen in just one week?” Well, buckle up partner! We’ve got 3 pieces of BIG Disney news that may have a huge impact on your next Disney World vacation.
Using Mobile Order to order a snack or drink in Disney World can generally make your whole experience easier and more convenient. You could even order way in advance, or while you’re waiting in line for an attraction, and schedule a later pick-up time — helping you skip the lines but still get some delicious treats.
Mobile Checkout
Well, recently Disney started testing a NEW mobile feature called “Mobile Checkout” that could offer some flexibility and convenience when you’re shopping for merchandise in the parks. We saw this being tested a few days ago in Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort in California, but now Disney is testing the system in Walt Disney World as well!
