Ordering Ahead

[JodyLynC]

Is there a place that lists all the restaurants in which you can order your meal in advance? The only restaurants I know of which have this option is BOG and Satulli in Pandora. Surely, there are other places, but I am just not aware of them.

MDE app - under My Plans - Order Food

They just recently added Flame Tree and Pizzafari

I wish they would move online ordering for BOG over to this platform instead of making you do it through the website.

I didn't know BOG was on the website only. I'm glad I asked. Thanks!!

Mobile ordering is supposed to be starting at Restaurantosaurus today, and at D-Luxe Burger at DS sometime next week. Additionally, it's coming soon to 5 QS's in MK...Tomorrowland Terrace, Cosmic Ray's, Columbia Harbor House, Pecos Bill's, and Pinnochio's.

I'm looking on my MDE app and not finding an option to "order food" under My Plans. Is it because my trip isn't for a couple of weeks yet?

I don't have a trip booked, and on my MDE, under "My Plans," it shows up third from the left. L to R: Get FP, Reserve Dining, Order Food, Link Dining, Link Hotel, Call to Book Hotel.

I see all but the "order food" option. I wonder if I need to update the app.

I bet that's it. I think it was an update last month.

Can you use the dining plan with the ordering ahead yet?

Can you use dining plan to order ahead at BOG?

Pre-ordering has nothing to do with what method of payment you're using. You still pay when you get to the restaurant, using whatever method you choose.

Dining plans only work for Pre-ordering at BOG - it is not done on the same platform as mobile ordering on the app.

For the restaurants on the MDE app mobile ordering platform - dining plans are not accepted yet, it will only accept credit cards as payment. With the mobile app ordering, you never encounter a cash register as you do at BOG (at least this was the case at Satu'li - I have not used it at the restaurants that were added later). You go up to the window, show your receipt, and are handed your food.

Mobile ordering also eliminates the ability to use discounts - AP, TiW, DVC, etc.

Quick update: I updated the app a few days ago, and lo & behold, the "order food" option appeared. Today I was checking it out, and they have now added Cosmic Ray's to the lineup! Words cannot express how excited I am about the mobile ordering option. We have 7 in our party, and while standing in line with 7 people (3 restless ones) is pretty chaotic, remembering 7 people's orders while standing by myself is no picnic either. Hoping for more QS participants in the next couple of weeks!

Hopefully they add dining plan functionality soon.

Are we able to use a rewards card to pay?

For both of the above
Which one are you asking about? BOG preorder and the new Mobile ordering on MDE are very different so the answer will depend on which you are asking about

Ordering on MDE.

 

[AngiTN]

Ordering on MDE.

It's super easy. Just open the app, click on your MDE icon, click on Order Food, select the restaurant, select Order Food, rest is pretty self explanatory. You go to the location and there will be a place to indicate on the app that you have arrived and they'll prepare your order. At the restaurant you'll see the Mobile pick up location. You approach when the app notifies you the order is ready, show them the app and take your order.
