  2. New Mobile Order service to offer on-the-go meal ordering at select locations

    in WDW and Disney Park Discussions

    Right.  One window for how many guests who pre-ordered?

    You've been to a Starbucks, right?

    Like I said, you know there will be some extra special guests who will be standing at that window waiting for their order.  You know, because they are extra special?

    In asking around, it will be more than one window. But again trial stages. As for those 'extra special' people. I have ways to get rid of them. ??

    But we are not talking about a regular restaurant- we are talking about a WDW quick serve location.

    You've seen how it goes there.  Limited menu.  High Volume.  You order from the cashier, then slowly move forward in your chute to the counter where you wait for a CM to plop your tray down.

    Where are the guests who pre-ordered going to pick up their food?  What will the line there look like?  You know there's going to be some special cases who stand at the counter and block other guests from picking up their food. 

    I'm skeptical that it's going to work well.

    From what the article said, it will be a different window just like they do the express check in for some of the resorts.

  4. RUMOR: AP Preview of Pandora coming April 8 & 9

    in Disney Rumors Board

    Posted

    From what I heard, there is a distinction being made between full time and part time CM's. 

    Also, there are earlier CM previews which are exclusive to AK CM's.

    TCD

    I'm waiting for my oldest to get home from work. He's there and will be able to confirm that part.

    I had to reread what was said and you're right. It's for FT CMs only then a raffle for Temp/Casual CMs.

    On a good note for the guests. The park will be open from 8am-11pm every day for a limited time from 5/27. Twice a week they will do EMH in the morning for resort guests. And from 5/27-7/4 EMH for all resort guests from 11pm-1am nightly dedicated time only in Pandora.

    Seeing what is needed in kitchen staff, I can see where it might be confusing for a bit. But once they get thr pain points hammered out, I see it working. Knowing what type of training needs to go into this, they are expecting for it to be a big thing. I don't be surprised they start 'practicing' for the CM previews and AP previews.

    I see.  I thought you paid when you pre-ordered at BOG, but I see that you pay when you arrive:

    Q. What is order-ahead, or advance-order, dining?   A. This optional complimentary service is available for Guests who have breakfast or lunch reservations at Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom park. When you are within 30 days of your reservation, you’ll see a link on the My Reservations page that takes you to an order form where you can select your entrees, sides, beverages and dessert. There is no need to pay when you place your order, and you may change your selections or cancel the order any time prior to arriving at the restaurant. The day of your reservation, simply check in at the restaurant, pay for your order, find a table and your food will be delivered to you―like magic!

    Learn more about Be Our Guest Restaurant or make a reservation.

    https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/faq/dining-reservations/advance-order-dining/

    Obviously, I haven't tried it.

    This paying through the App is a first, then.

    If it works as advertised, it would be great.

    But that's a big if.

    TCD

    Being where I am at... I know we've been running a bunch of tests on it. If it works, plan on it being at most of the QSRs. It will cut lines down majorly at the QSRs.

  19. New Mobile Order service to offer on-the-go meal ordering at select locations

    A new mobile food ordering service, called Mobile Order, will launch with the opening of Satu’li Canteen in Pandora – The World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and extend to select additional fast casual and quick service restaurant locations throughout Walt Disney World Resort over the next year. Mobile Order offers Guests the added convenience of being able to place orders and purchase meals on-the-go within the My Disney Experience app, allowing them to avoid the line to order and pay when they arrive at the restaurant.

    Using the My Disney Experience app, Guests can select menu items, customize their order and pre-pay for their meal. When they arrive at the restaurant they will tap an “I’m here” button in the app, which will notify the kitchen to prepare the meal. When ready, Guests will be alerted through the app to pick up their meal at a designated window.

    During the initial launch period, the only form of payment accepted is credit card and no discounts or dining plans will be able to be applied to orders submitted through Mobile Order. Guests requesting to use a discount, dining plan entitlement or have special dietary requests should place their order with a cashier.

    Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, offering Members and Guests a new frontier for magical vacations, is currently under construction and is scheduled to open its doors July 17. At this resort, the comforts of home and the wonders of the wilderness are truly rooted in the magic of Disney. Inspired by the rich history of railroads and mining throughout the Pacific Northwest, Copper Creek Villas & Cabins prides itself on its rustic elegance, marrying cozy touches with modern designs to create a perfect tranquil retreat for families.

    Once open, Copper Creek Villas & Cabins will be the 14thDisney Vacation Club development and the second at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, and its 184 nature-inspired vacation homes offer the widest range of accommodations found at Walt Disney World Resort, including Deluxe Studios, one- and two-bedroom Villas and even three-bedroom Grand Villas, which sleep up to 12. Each unit is carefully designed with today’s families in mind, with one-bedroom villas and larger offering the added convenience and comforts of home, including well-appointed kitchen areas for home-cooked meals, expanded storage space for stowing belongings and private patios or balconies with scenic views. With natural-wood touches and the sense that you’re staying in the heart of the wilderness, the resort is perfect for families who want to feel like they’re “just around the river bend” from Magic Kingdom Park.

    Additionally, Copper Creek Villas & Cabins is scheduled to include 26 all-new waterfront cabins nestled along the shores of Bay Lake. Sleeping up to eight and featuring two bedrooms, two bathrooms and large dining and living room spaces, the cabins’ floor-to-ceiling windows, exposed wooden beams and interior-exterior fireplace bring the beauty of the great outdoors inside, and offer plenty of room for families.

    Disney Vacation Club Members will have the first chance to purchase a real estate interest at Copper Creek Villas & Cabins beginning on March 8 for those in registered jurisdictions, with general sales slated for April 5. As with all Disney Vacation Club resorts, Villas are often available for rental by non-Members.
