There are some statements about the parking fee that are not correct. Any company that has a transportation concession with Disney does NOT pay the taxi/limo/shuttle/bus fee. For example, Checker has the taxi concession with Disney so they do NOT have to pay the fee. City Cab and Yellow Cab, also owned by Mears, do not have the Disney taxi concession and would be required to pay if they were dropping off guests at a theme park. If the passengers in a City Cab or Yellow Cab were guests staying on Disney property, they would not be charged the fee. On the other hand, passengers in Yellow or City cabs who were not staying on Disney property would be charged the fee the first time the taxi passed through the gates.

Disney Magical Express buses, owned and operated by Mears, do not pay a fee. Mears Motor Shuttle would not pay a fee, if they had the shuttle concession with Disney. It's been a while since I checked, so I don't know if they are still the official shuttle company. When I drove a towncar for Mears, Transtar had the towncar concession, so we had to pay whenever we dropped off a guest at a theme park. It sucked, but there was nothing we could do about it. It didn't happen too often, but when it did I just ate the parking fee.

The gate in front of the Magic Kingdom is a non-issue, if you know how to use Google Maps. The only gates you have to worry about are EPCOT, DHS and AK.

Some cast members are nice and they will let you drop off without paying. Others are Nazis, and they seem to enjoy collecting the money.

Maybe I've been lucky, but I've never been asked to pay parking for a drop off at any of the gates. They just have me follow the green line, etc.

I was bus boy for the Crystal Palace and Union Shop Steward for Main Street.

So it was like eleventy billion years ago. Back when Moby Dick was a minnow.

I know this thread is old and I haven't read all 5 pages. But if you tell them you are picking someone up and don't say anything about Uber they will definitely let you in.

If you are going to Magic Kingdom just say you are going to the Contemporary and they will wave you right through. I am an Annual Passholder so I don't have to pay for parking anyway.. but before I upgraded to annual I used to use those tricks all the time to avoid paying for parking.

Taxis or uber do not have to paid the fee anymore. It has been that way for over a month.

Uber has to pay the fee as do all taxis not associated with Mears. The problem is why are you picking up people at Disney who have money for 6- 14 dollar fares to Cabana Bay resort. When you could gypsy and take them for 30 dollars. #Fuber

Hey Mr. Buckiemohawk, it seems like you have not taken anyone to disney in at least the last month or so. I work out of hotel on international drive and do not have to pay anything for the runs I get. And I also gypsie around and also do uber xl whenever there is a surge price only (if any). And get your facts straight. "TAXIS OF ANY KIND ANY COMPANY DO NOT PAY THE FEE ANYMORE." I have a toplight and drop at the disney parks almost everyday and they just wave me thru.

So if I get an Uber sticker & slap it on my windshield I never have to pay to park at Disney?

Don't get a sticker. Just say you're picking up or dropping off. No need to do or say anything else.

Another thing you can do is just pick up a part time job at Disney. You'll get all the park benefits AND free parking. And you'll get paid for all the hours you work, too. It'll help to pay the maintenance and put gas in your Uber car!

This is accurate...just tell them your dropping off, or picking up with Uber and they will let you pass.

That's a crappier job than Ubie.

Does Disney have an official policy on Uber?

With parking now $20 how many people staying at off property (but still close) hotels just call an Uber and save a few bucks by not having to pay the parking fee?
