A New Way to Order Food at Walt Disney World
Satu’li Canteen at Walt Disney World to feature Mobile Order
Mobile Order will be available at Satu’li Canteen restaurant at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park on opening day – May 27 – and then expanding to Pizzafari, Flame Tree Barbecue and Restaurantosaurus during the summer. And better yet, more Mobile Order fast casual and quick service locations across Walt Disney World Resort are on the way.
Mobile Order, which can be found in the My Disney Experience app, offers the added convenience of being able to place orders and purchase meals on-the-go. You can select menu items, customize orders and pre-pay for meals during park visits – all within the app.
It’s easy to do. After you place your order, pre-pay in the app and arrive at Satu’li Canteen, you'll tap the “I’m here” button. That will notify the kitchen to prepare your meal. When ready, you will be alerted through the app to pick up your meal at the designated window with the Mobile Order pick-up sign.
Please note during the initial launch period of Mobile Order, the only form of payment accepted will be by credit card. Anyone with special dietary restrictions, or those who want to use discounts or redeem dining plan entitlements must place their order with a cashier.

Thanks for keeping me at the top.
Helping people save money on Walt Disney World vacations is it's own reward, but recognition is nice, too! I'm humbled to be ranked a "Best of the Best Disney Travel Agent" by readers of the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 3 years in a row!

As I honor year number 3, I'd like to share with you some of the heartfelt feedback I've received from those who make my work so much fun.
"What a wonderful trip! It exceeded my expectations and was worth every penny. How many times in life can you say that? You were without a doubt a very big part of how wonderful this trip was and I thank you for that. You made yourself completely accessible for all questions and concerns and prepared us for the wonderful things Disney World has to offer." Margit M. - Vancouver, Washington
"I just want you to know how much we (all 11 of us) appreciated all of the help you gave us on planning and setting up our trip." William K - West Haven, VT

I don't know how you do it but we saved over $1500 by booking with you. Why didn't I know about you years ago? Thanks for being so patient with us while we figured things out. I'm your customer for life!" Jean V, Speedway, IN
