Mobile Order Question

[jstaff]

Hello!

We will be staying at OKW on an upcoming trip. We would like to eat at several quick service restaurants at different resorts. If I mobile order for our group will security at the front entrance of the resort (for example at the Polynesian, Animal kingdom lodge etc ) let us in? We would only be parking, eating, and then leaving.

You would have a problem at the most popular resorts. Especially the Poly.

You will not be able to drive to many resorts. It would be best to take Disney transportation.

I would encourage looking at the online menus. We found many resorts offer similar menus at their quick service locations.

Unfortunately at OKW the quick service location has an extremely limited menu.

They might let you in at AKL, but probably not at any of the monorail resorts.

Check out POFQ. They have a few unique items on the menu, plus beignets.
They will generally let you in while travelling by car.

If you want to do this you should be prepared to take Disney's transportation vs driving your own vehicle.

Take transportation from OKW to Disney Sprigs, and bus over to whatever resort you’re intending to eat at. Or for Poly, take bus from OKW, to MK, then walk, boat, monorail to Poly.
We do this kind of thing all the time, just use Disney transportation.

Sometimes it depends on when you are visiting whether mobile order will even be available. During especially busy times, while some resorts allow you to mobile order but won’t allow you to drive and park, some resorts have restricted mobile order to guests of that particular hotel only. For example, at GF around July 4th, only GF guests could mobile order at Gasparilla Grill. So you may have to place your order in person.

At times the QS mobile order can be geofenced so you won’t even be able to place an order to show the gate guard. Even with a mobile order you still might not be let through. At the monorail resorts they’re likely to direct you to the TTC parking lot.

While not on your list you would also have trouble at the Boardwalk and BC/YC. However, if you find yourself later in the day in World Show place(EP) you could walk over to any of those resorts for a QS meal. Ale and Compass the TS restaurant does mobile ordering and they are quite good.

I agree with a previous poster - to just boat or bus to Disney Springs then to whichever resort you want to QS at. Unless you're really pressed for time and must get there, or eat and get back, on a strict deadline where taking the car is a must.

I often resort hop when staying at Disney - and though I always have my car with me, I prefer to take the Disney transportation as it's just more relaxing - and sometimes can be even more fun (such as taking a boat to get somewhere rather than a bus). I love the OKW boat ride to Disney Springs - it's very long, and very relaxing and the boat even has a nice mix of reggae/Jimmy Buffet type music for that laid back Key West vibe.

We qs at the Poly all the time for the Pulled Pork Nachos on our Magic Kingdom days. We hop the monorail to the Poly with no problems.

Since you're staying at OKW you can park for free at the TTC and walk to the Poly or take Disney transportation to the other resorts in the MK area. Likewise if you're planning to do QS at any of the Epcot resorts you can park at DHS and take the Friendship boat or the Skyliner to the resorts.

This. What I've found is the app will say "Only for those staying at the resort" but as long as you're on the property of the resort the order goes through.

Generally no, you won't be allowed to park just for quick service. At the All Stars, the guard probably wouldn't care, but it would never happen at a Monorail or Epcot area resort.
