This service allows guests to skip the line when ordering their food at participating quick service dining locations.

Here is the list of new locations:

The mobile order service offers the convenience and flexibility of ordering, paying for and picking up fresh meals and snacks directly from the pick-up counter where Cast Members deliver the food – saving you time to enjoy all there is to see and do at Walt Disney World Resort. To see the full list of participating locations, tap “order food” in the My Disney Experience app. And don’t forget, if you have a Disney dining plan you can now redeem your meals and snacks through the service.

There are more than 20 other quick service dining locations who already leverage the Mobile Order service throughout Walt Disney World. Per Disney Parks Blog, there will be more locations on the way with the service expected to expand to additional Disney Resort hotel locations!

Takumi-Tei Now Open at Epcot

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Dining, Epcot

Walt Disney World’s latest signature restaurant is open in the Japan Pavilion at Epcot. Takumi-Tei is Japanese for “house of the artisan”, and the name is perfect for this artistic new dining experience. 

Takumi-Tei celebrates the five natural elements; earth, stone, washi paper, water, and wood. These are represented by five globes as you enter the restaurant. Each globe has a Haiku printed below it. Once inside, you will dine in a room that has a corresponding theme. Each room is decorated to match its element, and even the chairs are different colors to represent the element. The restaurant is not very large, but that is part of its charm. There is a calming feeling throughout the space.

In the Water Room, there is a working fountain. The Water Room is where the Chef’s Table takes place. That is a nine course meal. The chef will join the group with the various courses to explain what they are all about. A meal at the Chef’s Table at Takumi-Tei is not something that you will rush through. It is recommended that you give yourself and your party at least three hours to dine. It is for groups of six to eight people, and the cost is $180 per person. A six course beverage package can be added for an additional $100 per guest. 

Another New Restaurant to Open This Summer

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Dining, Disney Resorts

The new Gran Destino Tower at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is set to open this July. Disney has announced, in addition to Toledo – Tapas, Steak & Seafood atop the new tower, three more locations will join the resort’s delicious array of restaurants according to Disney cast members.

“Sitting at Villa del Lago in the center of the lake, Three Bridges Bar & Grill will introduce a new table service dining experience. Delight in sandwiches, shared plates, and more at this relaxing lakefront restaurant. Sharable plates include yummy dishes like Curry-Lentil Hummus, Szechuan Peppercorn Wings and Stuffed Mushrooms.

The entrée menu includes the Villa del Lago Salad with arugula, frisée, warm Yukon potatoes, white beans, and asparagus tossed in a bright sherry vinaigrette. Also featured are Braised Pork Tacos, Grilled Skirt Steak, Harissa Lamb Chops, Crispy Chicken Sliders and the Three Bridges Signature Burger. This mouthwatering burger comes with crispy potato, Manchego cheese, roasted garlic-lemon aïoli, arugula and tomato.

And for dessert? Indulge in warm churros with Espelette pepper sugar and chocolate sauce or a vanilla custard Mickey tart with compressed pineapple and tropical sorbet.”

The new Gran Destino Tower will also be home to the Dahlia Lounge. Located next to Toledo – Tapas, Steak & Seafood, this rooftop lounge will feature whimsical forms, colors, unique lights, and especially unique libations and dishes.

Here you’ll find an array of wines hand-selected by one of our resident master sommeliers, including Spanish cavas. Cocktails are made with exceptional spirits and ingredients hand-crafted by talented mixologists.

In the lower lobby of the tower, Barcelona Lounge will feature eclectic patterns and colors inspired by the beautiful aesthetic of Barcelona, Spain. This lounge will offer a European coffee experience as well as Spanish and classic American pastries and breakfast items.

Healthful breakfast items include blueberry-lavender honey yogurt with flaxseed granola and fresh-squeezed orange juice.

While the coffee experience will be available throughout the day, as the afternoon rolls around, the Barcelona Lounge transitions into an artisanal cocktail bar featuring a variety of tonics to complement an international gin collection.
