How accessible is Uber from the MK resorts?

[KCheatle]

We are arriving in just over 3 weeks!! (YAY!!) We're staying at Poly. One day we are planning to go to Universal. I would like to take an Uber, but I'm wondering how accessible/easy to use Uber is from the Poly? Can I count on being able to get one fairly easily ~7:30 on a Sunday morning to take us to Universal so we're there for gate open?​

Also - we are taking our kids to the pirate adventure leaving from Y&B at 9:15 am on Thursday. We'd need to leave Poly ~8:30 to get there on time - do you think Uber would be available for that too?

Just wondering if I'd be better off reserving a cab...

Thanks for any advice!

Thank you everyone for the wonderful advice and cautionary tales Even the best of services has a few bad apples, and it's smart to just remember that going into it. I'm really looking forward to giving this a try!! In fact, I may get so spoiled that I quit using the bus system altogether!!!

I had clients there a couple of months ago staying at the Swan. They were a large party with 3 families and 2 strollers. They ended up using Uber for most of their stay instead of waiting in the bus line for everyone to get on the same bus. They would have 2 or 3 Ubers arrive at the same time to accommodate all of them and it was never an issue. I still recommend giving yourself the same amount of time to get around Walt Disney World but this is a nice alternative to the buses.
