We having paying off room charges from magic bands for years. Instead of cash using Disney Gift cards from target. You can save 5% when buying cards.
For mobile ordering, just put the card number in your notes app and then copy/paste the number when paying for the order.Honestly, I would just be using the gift cards at the point of sale instead of charging back to the room. Especially if you're going to be doing a lot of mobile ordering for food.
This is what I do. I like using the gift cards to keep me on budget and charging to the room helps me know what I am spending per day.We buy GC's at BJ's, put our CC on the room charge privileges, use our magic bands for purchases, then around every 3 days, we take our GC's to front desk and pay off balance.
You may already know this, but we combine our GC's, usually 2 $500 cards(they limit you to $1,000 per card). By combining cards, it keeps you from having so many to carry on trip, plus, it helps CM's to not have to put so many cards through at one time. Just a nice gesture to help them and also shaves off a few minutes to allow you to get back to having fun!
I don't usually charge much to the room, but I'm taking my ds, dd and her significant other. He's the shopper, he can buy gift cards with his reward points from his bank. I guess he has quite a lot that he'd like to use up. Wants some of the Star Wars merch on site.Honestly, I would just be using the gift cards at the point of sale instead of charging back to the room.

By default it would pay with your stored CC on your MDE profile. However, as others have noted you can tell it to pay using an alternative method. Just enter (or copy / paste) your gift card number into the proper box.I don't usually charge much to the room, but I'm taking my ds, dd and her significant other.

ETA when I was there last (Dec 2021) mobile order charged directly to my cc on the reservation, so not to the room account. Is that still the way it works? I hated that, my cc bill looked like a shopaholics with all the individual charges.
