I'm really hoping this is successful. I think it has great potential to make days at the park run more smoothly.

I used it the other day in Pandora. It was great. I placed my order in the afternoon and when I was ready to eat that evening, I clicked the "I'm here, place my order" button and it was ready in about 10 minutes. I walked right up and grabbed my tray. I would highly recommend it!!

I love the idea of this as long as it is executed efficiently. I'm just wondering that as the number of people using the service increases that the lines at the pick up window will get just as long as the order lines, especially during peak dining times.

Aloha Isle was added, you can Pre order a dole whip float, I love it already

Has anyone noticed this affecting the flow/availability of seats at all?

I wonder as people are waiting in the normal lines, people coming in to pick up their quick orders, grabbing seats up? Or vice versa. Normal wait crowd taking up all the seats, and when you pick up your order, no luck?

Good question, I have noticed lots of places now do not allow you to grab a table until you already have your food so I also wonder how this affects the chances of getting a table. For example Peco Bills comes to mind that uses this practice. I would hate to pre-order my food from the other side of the park and find you have no comfortable place to eat when you pickup your order.

Huge WIN!

I am just worried that this will become like fastpass, where the only way you can hope to eat at popular counter service restuarants is if you order online hours in advance.

I just hope they add it before our Sept 10 trip, I think I am out of Luck with the "Late 2017" expected roll out, but I'm still hoping, that line can get long.

Yeah for us, we like to split up. Some sit, some get the food.

I'd hate to pre order, and then get there and it is super packed. Might be seats. But currently, if too busy, we might decide to eat either elsewhere or later or something.

Course, I still am not crazy with this, as I hate using my phone while on vacation. Unless doing fantasy football at my hotel at night.

I used mobile order twice during my stay over Thanksgiving. It is not what I feared about having to get a FP for lunch. It is more like ordering takeout on an app, from a restaurant outside of Disney. Having said that part of the reason it was such a time saver for my family is because people on the dining plan could not order through it. It will be interesting to see how adding the dining plan as an option to pay will effect the wait time to pick up your order when you get to the restaurant. Will it be a lot more guest using the service??
