Walt Disney World Resort has announced that it will expand the popular Mobile Order food service to additional restaurants at select Disney Resort hotels, including the following:

Everything POP Shopping & Dining at Disney’s Pop Century Resort
The Mara at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
Contempo Café at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

These restaurants will join the existing mobile order lineup of Centertown Market and Spyglass Grill at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort and over 20 other quick-service locations throughout the four theme parks and Disney Springs area.

5. Discounted Summer One World Ticket now available for purchase

This summer Disney is offering all guests (not just Florida residents) the opportunity to purchase a special Summer One World Ticket, which includes a single day's admission to Walt Disney World's resort’s four theme parks and two water parks, for a total of six admissions for only $74 per admission (plus tax) – a total price of $444 (plus tax). These new tickets will be available to purchase from June 4 through August 23, and can be used between June 4th and August 28th. You can read more about the restrictions on this new ticket here.

6. Shop Disney Parks app being retired on May 31

When the Shop Disney Parks app was introduced in 2016, it was a much-needed addition that allowed guests to check inventory at Disney Parks and shop for select Disney Parks items from home.

However, with the expansion of the My Disney Experience app (which allows guests to search for items using the product availability map and ship select merchandise to home), the Shop Disney Parks app became a little bit superfluous, duplicating much of what was already included in the larger, My Disney Experience app. As a result, Disney has decided to retire the Shop Disney Parks app, effective May 31st.

Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members will continue receiving eligible discounts when shopping from My Disney Experience.
