@el_super ; I’ll respond to this fully when I actually have the time to. While I see some of your points in regards to capacity, it’s going to end up being a moot point. Because as I have said over and over again, the core issue I have with the mobile order system and Disney’s pushing of it is that it creates the scenario where Guests either have to a) preplan or know what they are going to want to eat (-and at what time) all day in the morning, then order/pay in advance (something most folks don’t normally know or do) or b) endure longer than previously average queues created by not being able to see the future and know what you and your party/family would be in the mood for later. In the scenario of adding more registers and dedicating less to mobile orders, you remove some of that burden from Guests shoulders in the morning and allow for them to feel less helpless/aggravated when the time comes that they actually get hungry, in regards to their decision making abilities. -and while certain options with mobile order may technically still be available to them, I’m sure they’d take the average 20 to 30 minute waits from before over the hour plus experience myself and others have been having. Just because we weren’t sure what we wanted for dinner at 8am.
Additionally, people filling up the available food time slots and usage of the mobile order system doesn’t always mean it’s the more popular option. It just means they know it’s increasingly becoming the only option in some scenarios as Disney purposefully makes the alternative more and more inconvenient or inaccessible (in certain scenarios). Saying the mobile order system is a more popular or more “Guest friendly” choice just because people are using it is like saying having to walk the tram route from Mickey and Friends is more popular to Guests than taking the tram itself.
