News Round Up 2018

I can't wait to use this... haven't been to WDW since it launched but we are finally going back in Nov 2019!

We never used it because we room charge all our food and then used gift cards (that we got at a discount) to pay for our meals. The Mobile ordering requires a credit card. Plus my wife can never decide what she wants in advance. Finally, we never waited more than about 5 minutes in line for food...so it wasn't a real "need".

We do the same with the gift cards so it’s good to know we shouldn’t try to use mobile ordering!

If you wish to use mobile ordering you can charge it to your MagicBands and then put your gift cards towards your room charges at your resort. We do this often.

We have also sat outside Pecos Bills, placed our online order then waited only a couple of minutes before our order was ready. I’d just prefer to avoid the congestion of the lines when possible and online ordering allows us to do this. it’s all personal preference.

That’s what we usually do charge everything to MB and pay at end of day. So you don’t have to use CC or DP to pay? There’s a charge to MB option?

You can't use QS dining plan credits for mobile ordering?

Yes you can. We did in September.

There has been a significant reduction in the amount of pyro used in the Illuminations Holiday Tag over the last week or so.

I noticed that the other night. Any given reason why?

Not sure. Could be costs, or could be construction.

Ah good thought I hadn’t considered construction. It was a little breezy the night I was there so I thought maybe it was due to winds. Hopefully just temporary because the ending with the full pyro is quite something.

We saw it on November 21st and it was amazing!! Even my DD, who is not a huge fan of fireworks, was impressed. We were near the fish and chips place and had a good view. It's kind of where we just ended up after we raced back from looking at the Epcot resorts' holiday decorations. Turned out to be a pretty good spot. It was a great way to view Illuminations for the last time.

Follow up on the Illuminations Holiday Tag reduction for those interested. A firework actually landed on the world showcase promenade amongst crowd. So likely this change won’t be reversed. Sad that this happened at all but especially with so few shows remaining as after this year we’ll never see this version again.

That was from one of the special pyro effects though. They could just cut that part. They have dramatically reduced the beloved finale as well.

Public stance...safety
Behind the scenes...laughing all the way to the bank
