I like all those places especially award wieners, i really like luck fortune cookery because i love asian food and u can get ramen there, so hopefully they will have more than one window, At rose tavern howq long did u wait?Oh and about registers, depends on place. There was one at rose tavern for walk in’s like me but I believe there were more than one at pizza planet and refreshment corner and at award weiners
So some places currently don't even do mobile order, correct? I don't care to try it out (I haven't before), but it seems like a bit of a hassle right now and people are having issues with it in general. My trip isn't for 4 months, though, so I know a lot can change.
We went the week before you (week of 9/27,) and while I definitely share most everybody's sentiments about ti not being the same Disneyland as it was in the past, it wasn't nearly as bad as it sounds like it was last week. Last week was Fall Break for many (most?) Arizona schools (and maybe others) so maybe that had something to do with it.
Park was crowded, lines were long, rides broke down a lot. We still had fun but not nearly as much as in the past. I didn't notice anyone who was dressed inappropriately, but I'm kind of oblivious to those things....will ask my wife
On the other hand, we had no issues with mobile ordering. I think of it as a Fastpass/Virtual Queue for food. You pick a time for like 30-60 mins in advance and then get to skip to the front of the line at that time. When we would get into a 30ish minute line (plenty of them while we were there,) I would just pick a time right after the estimated wait. I never saw any food for mobile orders just sitting out -- every time I checked in for my mobile order, the food was pulled just like for everybody else in line....but I basically got to cut to the front of the line.
It's obvious that a lot of things are in transition now (reopening from COVID, Genie+, staffing issues, etc) so I think we'll just sit the next year or so out until things settle down.
I have planned until I am blue in the face for our upcoming trip! We typically do 7+ days at WDW with intense planning and only quick trips to DL where we wing it. I'm hopeful that by applying my WDW intensity to this DL trip...all will work out (on some level!)It took more planning than usual and that is exhausting but I think all of life is just going to be more difficult from now on. Getting Rotr was surprisingly easy for us after following the tips.
A side note on Smokejumpers. When I went in to pick up my mobile order none of the registers were even staffed. If that's a place anyone wants to eat make sure to mobile order. Granted that could have been an anomaly. I had no issue with food quality, just a lack of non mobile order options.
Not long, maybe 10 minutes. But we went a little early, about 11:45I like all those places especially award wieners, i really like luck fortune cookery because i love asian food and u can get ramen there, so hopefully they will have more than one window, At rose tavern howq long did u wait?

Do you have any specific tips on getting RotR? This is literally the ONLY thing one of my boys has on his list. Our last WDW trip was 2 weeks before it opened there, so we have never ridden it. I have 3 days of DL reservations so I'm hopeful we can score at least one of those, and I have read many posts on how to do it, but since you were just there...any last minute tricks??
I will say I've never had issues with getting a boarding group. For some reasons I've gotten one every time I've tried. I do nothing special, don't use the world clock and get on at 659. I use a Google Pixel.

Some are positive changes that I'm really looking forward to (Galaxy's Edge, Avengers Campus, all of the plant-based food options)
I cannot wait to try the Galaxy's Edge options-- that hummus spread sounds fantastic. I've heard many good things about the Ronto-less Roaster too. I wish we had time to do brunch on this trip! Or more like I wish Lamplight did brunch on weekdays--those flautas sound delicious. We are going to Lamplight for dinner one night though and their Pastrami-Spiced Impossible burger sounds great. For anyone who is vegetarian/vegan/or just likes to eat that way sometimes, I highly recommend Happiest Vegan on Earth. She has a YouTube, Instagram, and website and she always is posting detailed reviews and photos on plant based offerings in the park.My teen DD is a vegetarian and I am not. I am often not a fan of a lot of the "fake meat" you can get. DLR has some good stuff right now. The Felucian Kefta & Hummus Garden Spread at Docking Bay 7 in Galaxy's Edge (plant based meatballs, herb hummus, tomato cucumber relish, pita) was really good. I would eat it again and again. We were lucky enough to get a reservation for the Lamplight Lounge Brunch and the Potato Flautas (plant based chorizo, vegan Piquillo Crema, serrano- tomatillo Salsa, Argula salad and Escabeche) was absolutely fantastic.

At 6:58 I made sure my app was still good and on the queue page with party confirmed. At 6:59 I go to the atomic clock and count down the seconds with it so I felt in sync. At :45 seconds I switch to the app counting down seconds out loud. At :59 seconds I hit the refresh button and the Join Queue button pops up in the same place and I hit it quick.
