Disney has updated its mobile ordering system for most Magic Kingdom resorts, requiring guests to be physically close to specific dining locations before placing an order. Previously, users could order food from any restaurant on the My Disney Experience app regardless of their current location within the parks or resorts. Now, attempting to order from certain spots without being nearby triggers a “You’re Too Far Away” notice similar to geofencing used for table service check-ins. Testing across all four parks and resorts revealed that only Steakhouse 70 To Go at the Contemporary Resort, Wailulu Bar & Grill To Go at the Polynesian, and Geyser Point Bar & Grill To Go at Wilderness Lodge enforce this new proximity requirement. Trail’s End Restaurant at Disney’s Fort Wilderness remains an exception where guests can still order without being physically close to the location. This policy adjustment coincides with the implementation of bus and boat restrictions at Disney Springs. The change aims to streamline operations and manage customer flow more effectively across various dining venues. Readers are encouraged to share their opinions on whether this update improves or hinders the guest experience regarding mobile food ordering convenience.
