Some thoughts and advice ...

first let me just give a little background about our trip 2/14 - 2/21 (Presidents day weekend) . Originally we had booked a early December trip but had to , at the last minute postpone it because my wife became ill and was unable to travel . Kudos to Disney and JetBlue for allowing us to make these changes without penalty . So we decided that the February dates worked best for us and we quickly booked these dates despite knowing that the crowds that weekend would be larger than what we were used to . Despite being "late to the party" as far as ADR's and FP+ were concerned we were surprised that we were able to book many things right away that we wanted for the times we wanted . We were not able however to book FP+ for FOP , or our first three FP+ choices for our second MK day . We did however manage to get reservations for BOG , HEA desert party , and F! desert party . Just to name a few hard to get ADR's we were happy to find available . As we got closer and closer to our dates we tried harder and harder to secure other ADR's and FP+ we couldn't originally get . Slowly we began to see things becoming available that we wanted . FOP...yes , got it...Frozen desert party....yes , got it ...BOG for our second MK day...yes , got it ! Don't give up trying to get the things you want for the days and times you want . Sure , a little flexibility helps but you have a good shot at getting what you want if you're persistent so hang in there and don't give up . We had more evidence of this in the parks with FP+ . We were very successful at getting FP+ for hard to get attractions in the parks for that day . 7DMT , Splash , Soarin , RNR , etc. .Even when the times we initially got weren't very good we were always able to modify the time to a much better time by being persistent . So grab those hard to get FP+ because you can always modify if the time isn't so great to a better time and adapt if necessary .
We also used and liked the Mobile ordering on the MDE app . We had the dining plan and had no problem using our dining credits for our orders . Highly recommend using it .
So , moral of the story is be persistent and flexible and you should be able to get almost everything you want...so don't give up !

So how were the lines for mobile ordering? Were you able to go straight to the counter to get your food when it was ready? Did it seem like many other people were using it? Any problems at all?

No one in line when we went to pick up our orders . We had no problem or issue using it . It kind of seemed like it was a secret because it seemed like no one was using it .
