Disney has decided they don’t want people being dropped off at resorts to walk to the parks. I have done this in the past when staying offsite, dropped off by Uber at Beach Club for Epcot or GF to grab some food before heading to MK. They don’t seem to care if you want to eat or shop at resorts close to the parks. No one checks at Swan or Dolphin so that is an option still.
Some resorts will even adjust the "geo-fencing" when it's really busy so you aren't even able to place a mobile order unless you are physically there already or a guest of the resort.
Yes. They started doing that when people started placing mobile orders to show at the guard gate, then canceling them once they were through the gate (until you click “I’m here, please prepare my order,” you aren’t charged). I’ve read of guards making people click it before being allowed in. The geo fencing is discouraging to many - but some people have posted that you can click through the warning and place an order anyway. Thus the reports here of people being turned away despite having a mobile order in place. Whatever Disney does, someone posts a workaround!
Hi,
Piggy backing of OP question. I would like to eat quick service at various resorts. If I moblie order will I be allowed to park. For instance we want to get beignets from the French Port resort. Eat at Geyser Point, and visit the bar at Coronado Springs.
Thanks, and Happy Holidays to everyone
When we stayed at OKW last year, we alternated between POR and POFQ to eat several evenings. At POFQ, we just had to say "We're here for the beignets!" and he'd laugh and wave us over in. When we went to POR, we got in a long line and the guard at the guard shack was interrogating every car at length. But then, about 3 cars before us, saw the long line, and just started waving people through. So we got lucky there, but others didn't.
Wow. Thanks, So I have to pay to park at one of the parks then catch the Disney Transportation to hotel because I am not staying on property this trip? What do people do to resort hop if staying off property. I was thinking about catching a bus from DS but that seems like a hassle
Your option is to pay to park at either the TTC or another park (once you pay at one park, you can use that ticket to park at other parks, you don't have to pay again). Or yes, as you mentioned, park at DS and take a bus/boat from there.
I have never had to show them my email, I always have them scan my MagicBand and ask for ID. They whatever pops up on their screen must show them the reservation. I remember before MagicBands they would take my ID and check their computer screen.
Many Deluxe resorts have a bypassable warning QS mobile dining only for those staying at the resort.Hi,
