Uber/Lyft at Disney?

[captainkidd]

I apologize as this should go in the transportation forum, but it would likely never be seen. 2 questions:

1. Is ride sharing available from the parks?
2. Is ride sharing available for pickups at Orlando Airport?

Yes to both

Mr. Magics is correct, but I should note that ride sharing in the parks is now frowned upon. I took an uber (a relatively new Camry driven by a sage looking school mom type) from France to Norway in WS when I got an overwhelming hankering for some school bread once and apparently driving around WS is considered somewhat of a no-no. Live and learn, live and learn.

Is it better to take a cab or an Uber from WDW to Universal?

Uber should be much cheaper. A quick check from Universal to Epcot is showing around $14 for me.

Might Uber be a better way to get to the waterparks from the Disney hotels, or should I rent a car? Both of which seem faster and easier than waiting for the waterpark busses which don't seem to run very often.

exclusively used Uber and lyft on my recent trip, and we stayed off resort closer to Uni. the fares were around 15-20 most often, and it was quick and easy just make sure if youre leaving via Uber, that you know where the pick up location is! CM's are glad to help, they know how many people are using UBER. it will probably be cheaper than a rental, however im not too familiar with renting cars.

Girlfriend and I are going in September and plan to use Uber to get to parks on certain days, mainly the ones where we really want to get there for opening. I ran the numbers for our trip and it was much much cheaper than renting a car

So could an Uber driver with an annual pass go in and out and drop you at the TTC?

10 years ago you'd never see this question posted. My, how times have changed.

10 years ago there wasn't a good reason to ask the question.

They can drop you off at the pick up/drop off area regardless if they have an AP or not.

What's the general uber/lyft rate from MCO to the Boardwalk (or Epcot)?

If you are clever you have them drop you off at the Contemporary. And if going to Universal have them drop you off at the Hard Rock hotel. Both are a quicker walk to parks than the normal drop off spots at TTC or CityWalk.

Uber can NOT take you to the bus drift off area, I learned that the hard way...
I dropped off and picked up at the Contemporary after the 1day shenanigans.

If you shop around and aren't pick on the particular car you can generally find one for about 30/day... So if you only plan on using Uber 2 times a day (to a park and back) then Uber could be cheaper..... but if you plan on multiple things in a day I'm betting a cheap rental car will be less.

Everything is based on the amount of people using it at that moment. I can tell you Uber now has to pay the MCO fee just like a taxi dose so right now as I type it shows $62 - $78

Now if you don't mind a little working "Magic"

Take a Mears Taxi (Metered) from MCO to the Denny's on TG Lee BLVD (Estimated fare $8.57)

Then an Uber from Denny's to Boardwalk (Estimated fare this moment $19 -$25)

So a total $36 with some "magic"
