FULL STORY ======================================================================Disney is now rolling out support for Live Activities on the iPhone. The enhanced feature should make getting food at Disney World or Disneyland easier. Like other rollouts, the Live Activities support extends to the Dynamic Island. Disney Parks around the world are known for food, and your iPhone is about to get a lot more helpful if youre getting the goods at Disney World in Florida or Disneyland in California. Disney is now adding support for one of the iPhones best features to its mobile ordering system for the Disneyland and My Disney Experience for Disney World iOS apps. Through Live Activities on the front of your iPhone, youll be able to monitor your mobile order at select locations, and without even unlocking your smartphone, youll be able to get your order prepped and then find the pickup location. And whether youre craving a pretzel, a full meal, or an ice cream bar, those extra seconds can count. Considering that Live Activities work on the lock screen or at the top of the iPhones screen, if you have the Dynamic Island, youll also be able to monitor the mobile order pickup without needing to open the app, as you can just glance at the top. The best part, though, is that Apple doesnt restrict Live Activities to the latest and greatest iPhone; its supported on any iPhone that can run iOS 16.1 or later. To get the experience at the top of your screen, youll need an iPhone 14 Pro or 14 Pro Max or any iPhone 15 or iPhone 16 , as these feature the Dynamic Island. As part of watchOS 11, the Live Activities from your iPhone will automatically carry over to your wrist. This means you could just glance down to select "I'm Here, Prepare My Order" or see which window your food is ready for pickup from. This new functionality doesnt necessarily require a fresh update for the Disneyland or My Disney Experience apps, but its best practice to ensure youre running the latest version, especially if youre visiting the parks. Both apps offer extensive functionality that can help you get even more out of your visit. The latest addition of Live Activities support should let you spend less time on your iPhone in the parks and enjoy the experience more; its also a way to surface some of the most essential details directly on the front of your phone. For instance, if theres a snack that youre really hoping to score or maybe its the latest limited edition popcorn bucket, you could lock the order in when you first arrive at the park and then from the Live Activity, select Im here for the cast members to begin preparing your order. It could save you a lot of hassle and make the entire experience a bit easier. Beyond ordering food, both apps Disneyland and My Disney Experience make it easy to view your scheduled reservations, reserve a Lightning Lane to access a ride quickly, view various wait times for attractions, and, perhaps most importantly, view a map of the parks. That all remains standard here, and now Disney is rolling out support for mobile ordering via Live Activities. So the next time youre in the parks, dont necessarily rush to unlock and simply look to see if a Live Activity is on your lock screen. Itll be neat to see in what other ways Disney may look to support this iOS feature as well.
