Has anyone used Uber at park closing to avoid the nightmare that is the bus wait? I'm contemplating using Lyft/Uber. Me+cranky/sleepy child= no bueno. Thanks!

Uber at the end of the night?

It's great but walk to a nearby resort it's so much easier, especially at the end of the day

Good idea. I actually did this the last time I stayed at Pop Century. The line for the AoA bus was not existent, so we hopped on that and walked the rest of the way.

Getting Uber home from the parks especially if you leave at close is just a no go...the only place we had a slight issue was animal kingdom but we got around that by leaving the park very late after the second showing of RoL. For MK we walked to Contemporary...for Epcot it was usually yacht club/swan/dolphin and we walked to the same resorts from Studios. Admittingly walking further after a day in the parks is pretty brutal, but I deem it a better option than the buses.

Thanks! I had a horrible experience trying to get back from MK to Pop century. Even with taking the AoA bus, it took us almost 90 mins to get back. I can't imagine doing that with a kid.

Love a little Disney every day!! ;)
I'm assuming you won't have a car. A car is the fastest way to leave even at MK. You could always rent a car we find it's much easier and faster to get around. (Only downside needing a car seats etc depending on the size and age of your child unlike with Disney transport it's not needed) Nice to come and go as you please and not have to wait for long for anything. Plus it's free to park at the parks if staying onsite. Just a thought.

Thanks for this tip. Completely forgot about that. Depending on how bad it gets, I very well may do this.

Paging @21stamps - I think she has used Uber at park closing before.. I could be wrong though
I have. I think Uber is much easier than a car. I haven't used it to/from MK, but I have either to or from at all of the other parks.
It's wonderful! They've always been waiting right outside of a park at the time when i ordered one.

Exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks! That experience at MK two years was damn near scarring for me (can you tell I get impatient when I'm exhausted?).

We were actually on I-drive and using Uber for the first time. At times when park hopping in Disney we found it easier to Uber...and also easier on I-drive than using the I-Ride to get to the likes of Seaworld/Aquatica

I have used it after Epcot closes. I walked to BC, hailed a car on my app and was at Kidani in 10 minutes.
I have used it MK closing, too. Like others have said, you just walk to CR, but beware of surge pricing.

It's weird, I've never had it from Epcot (BC). I did from CR, though. I guess there is larger demand post MK closing. It was crazy. It was $25 to get back. I waited about 15 minutes and went down to $11.
