We were able to use walk up last week. But I also used mobile order and it wasn’t as bad as I anticipated. Disney mobile order was still better though.
I’m thinking that was an isolated incident. They can’t just remove in person ordering from all QS. Many people will not put their CC info into the app.
Just heard though my TA that mobile ordering is coming back to UOR in a BIG way. Don’t know details other than that. I loved mobile ordering last summer and was really bummed when @GreyingMouser said he couldn’t use it on his recent/current trip. I’m happy it’s returning and hoping they have made needed improvements to it while it wasn’t available. I will look at the video later. Just wanted to confirm that I heard about this from my TA.
Someone on the disboards who is there currently is reporting this is true— several locations are mobile order only and won’t let you in until you use the app to order first.
So maybe they are just testing this. There is a question that what if a person is not able to mobile order for whatever reason. Would they be let in? That hasn’t been confirmed.
What happens with a group of school kids with only cash and/or gift cards?
We used mobile order at Leaky Cauldron and it worked fine. Saved us from waiting in those long lines to order. My complaint was that the folks who waited in the queues to order got their drinks right away while ours arrived with our food. We were hot and thirsty so that part wasn’t ideal.
“Just back and my daughter had gift cards she was using and at Leaky Cauldron they let us go in to a separate line just for people paying with gift cards or cash. They had one register open but you had to ask, took a few extra minutes but not bad at all.”
