Though Mobile Order was rolled out at all Walt Disney World theme parks almost simultaneously over a year ago, this service has been a bit slower to come to Disney's resort hotel. However, as of this week. this service has rolled out at several additional Walt Disney World resort eateries, including the following:
- Capt. Cook's at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
- The Artist's Palette at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort
- Landscape of Flavors at Disney's Art of Animation Resort
- Riverside Mill Food Court at Disney's Port Orleans Resort
- Gasparilla Island Grill at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort
6. FuelRod ends free swap policy

Back in 2016, Disney introduced a new convenience across Walt Disney World that brought mobile charging device kiosks to select locations in all four theme parks (as well as Disney Springs). Sponsored and maintained by FuelRod, these new kiosks (each themed to the park where they are located) allowedguests to purchase a fully-charged FuelRod portable charging device for $30, and then exchange depleted chargers at any FuelRod kiosk (including other kiosks around Walt Disney World) for another fully charged FuelRod charger instantly whenever they would like, for as long as they wanted.
However, it looks like FuelRod is ending this policy at Disney parks (free swaps have been long gone at other FuelRod locations for a long time now, including Universal Orlando Resort), and starting in November swaps will cost $3 each.
