DFB Experiment: Does DoorDashing from Disney World Restaurants Actually Work?

DFB Experiment: Does DoorDashing from Disney World Restaurants Actually Work?

We know we can’t be the only ones who are craving our favorite Disney World foods when we’re nowhere near the parks. Right? RIGHT???

DoorDash at Disney World

Well, as it turns out, if you’re a Disney World local, you might be able to order from a couple of restaurants at Disney World and actually have it delivered to your house via DoorDash. We knew that this was theoretically possible, based on two Disney Springs restaurants being listed as options on DoorDash, but in the past when we had tried it, our order was ultimately canceled. So, we decided to give it another go — and here’s how it went.

There are only two restaurants at Disney World currently available on DoorDash for delivery. The first restaurant at Disney World you can get food delivered from is Earl of Sandwich at Disney Springs. It makes sense that you wouldn’t be able to DoorDash from any of the four parks or the Disney World Resort hotels, but we were surprised that there weren’t many restaurants at Disney Springs that offer delivery service.

The second restaurant you can DoorDash from is eet by Maneet Chauhan. Theoretically, you should be able to order Earl of Sandwich and eet by Maneet Chauhan to be delivered to your home if you’re a local, but when we’ve tried this in the past — things didn’t go so well. Our order got reassigned a few times, and ultimately, after a few hours of waiting, the order was canceled. We can imagine why — a delivery driver would have to park in the Disney Springs garage, walk to the restaurant, and then make their way back to the car and then deliver the food. Not as easy as driving through a restaurant, you know?

So, we decided to put this to the test again on a recent Disney World stay, and ordered Earl of Sandwich for DoorDash delivery.

We placed our order around 6 PM, and the app quickly updated to say the order had been confirmed and that a Dasher was picking it up — with an ETA of within a half hour.

Our Dasher made it to Earl of Sandwich in a pretty reasonable amount of time, but the restaurant was having issues, so it was delayed a bit. Our Dasher was super communicative throughout the whole process, though, and she ended up having to wait around 20 minutes at the store for our order to be ready.

Soon enough, though, she had our order, and at 7:50 PM, our order finally arrived! It came much later than originally expected, but the issue was clearly on Earl of Sandwich’s end.

We will say that by the time our order got to us, it was pretty darn cold. Our tater tots were soggy, and though the Holiday Turkey Sandwich was still as delicious as ever, it was cold, too. We didn’t mind this as much, though, because the bread got nice and soft and soaked up some of the mayonnaise and cranberry sauce.

If you want a hot meal, we don’t necessarily suggest going this route. There are a lot of steps and hoops to jump through to get something delivered from a restaurant at Disney World, and while it’s technically possible, we don’t think it’s really worth it — but your mileage may vary!
