A new update for the My Disney Experience app is rolling out today, introducing a feature that allows you to track your mobile order dining status directly from your iPhone's Lock Screen without needing to open the app. The update is available for both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort guests.

Here's what you need to know:

  • The feature uses Apple iOS "Live Activities," which keeps real-time updates visible on your Lock Screen.
  • You can also tap "I'm Here" directly from the Live Activities display when you arrive at the pick-up location.

Device Compatibility

  • Live Activities are available on iPhones running iOS 16.1 or later.
  • Dynamic Island functionality, which offers an enhanced display for Live Activities, is available on:
  • iPhone 14 Pro models
  • All iPhone 15 models
  • All iPhone 16 models

To use this feature, make sure your My Disney Experience or Disneyland app is updated to the latest version.

The feature is currently available at select mobile order locations across Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort, with more locations expected to be supported soon.

This update aims to make mobile ordering even more convenient, letting you check your order's status at a glance while enjoying your day in the parks.

How to Use Mobile Order

  1. Open the My Disney Experience or Disneyland app and tap the “+” icon at the bottom center of your screen.
  2. Select “Order Food.”
  3.  Choose an available mobile order location and set your arrival time.
  4. Browse the menu, select your items, and customize menu options if available.
  5. Review your selections and complete payment using a credit card, debit card, Disney Gift Card, Disney Rewards Redemption Card, Apple Pay, or your Disney dining plan.

When you arrive at the designated location during your chosen time, tap the “I’m Here, Prepare My Order” button to let the kitchen know to begin preparing your food. You’ll get a notification when your food is ready for pickup at the counter marked with the “Mobile Order Pick Up” sign.
