Sly, you ain't deactivated yet..?

Parking went up today to $20. Yesterday it was $17. You should never have to pay that, I'm just posting the info.

 

$20! Holy shit

 

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.

 

It's actually Mrs to you. I will have to check this out.

 

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!

 

That's a crappier job than Ubie.

 

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

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

 

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?

 

In Miami there was a flight attendant that rode the train from the airport and ordered a ride, via me, to take her like 5 blocks away. People can be real cheapskates.

 

When I Uber, I usually work the tourist areas. It amazes me how often passengers will tell me that every single one of their other Uber drivers has only driven a day or two. I rarely find pax that tell me they had experienced Uber drivers. Earlier today I took someone from the Grand Flo to the Dolphin. The rider was absolutely amazed that I knew where the Dolphin was. He said that he has been using Uber since he got to Orlando and I was the first person who knew where they were going.

I'm posting this because it's proof that Uber's turnover is through the roof, and the drivers they do hire have no knowledge of the area. It's also pretty obvious they can't use GPS, either. Today was not the first time riders have told me this, but it's been happening so often I wanted to post it.

Seriously, why work Disney if you can't use GPS and/or you don't know where everything is?

 

Disney doesn't want to make it convenient for drivers because they want people to use their modes of transportation. Disney has its own buses, shuttles, trams, cars & even boats that will bring the customers to & from the parks.

 

Showing Disney the waybill *sometimes* works. Sometimes they make you pay parking anyway, sometimes they threaten to call the Sheriff on you, don't let you in, and you have to cancel the ride.

Another thing.. a lot of the uber drivers have annual passes,

So if you charge a passenger 17 to get in the gate unlike every other driver they have had all week enjoy your 1 star.

Also you can have your annual pass suspended for using it to bypass parking for commercial activity.

It doesn't matter if you are picking up or dropping off, it's 17 bucks bro.

Disney HAS NOT signed a deal with uber allowing them free drop off/pick up access. Work that area at your own risk.

 

Also you can have your annual pass suspended for using it to bypass parking for commercial activity.

I have 5 annual passes on my account.. I spend probably an additional $10,000 or more there every year taking my kid there buying him stuff and staying on property and stuff since I live in Tampa. Actually when you factor in the drinks at Epcot for the food and wine festival it is probably much more than $10k heh.

If they want to suspend my annual pass because I use it to get into the parking lot that I pay to get into then I will gladly take my money to Universal Studios. I'm up for renewal in February anyway and I am not sure I like the new pricing.

I don't really consider driving for Uber "commercial activity" it is a hobby for me that makes me some extra cash..

 

Whether you are a uber driver or a taxi driver. You do not pay the fee anymore. It has been over 2 months already. I work the international drive area and have taken people to disney many times whether as XL or as a taxi driver and do not have to pay the fee anymore. All you have to say is "I'M dropping off" and will signal you where to go. THERE IS NO MORE PAYING FOR DROPPING PEOPLE AT DISNEY.

 

Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom.....I've never paid.

 

Been to Disney MANY times to pick up pax and have never had issues.

 

So I'm going to Disney this weekend and staying off-site and don't have a rental car. What would y'all suggest I put in the address I want to go space for my Uber drivers? I'm planning on going to MK one day, Epcot the second and AK the third day. I don't want to make it difficult for the drivers, so I'd really like some advice on what to put for the addresses so it'll make it easier on them.

I've heard to use Contemporary Resort for my drop-off for MK but I don't want to inconvenience anyone.

Thanks in advance!

Put in "Magic Kingdom" or "Epcot" or "Animal Kingdom".

 

Hello my fellow Lyft/Uber Orlando drivers. I'm headed with the family to Orlando for a week of vacation at the parks and trying to decide if I should rent a car and pay for parking at the parks or Uber/Lyft it. I would rather take Lyft or uber but wanted to know if y'all are ok to pick up/drop off at the airport and all of the parks?

 

Airport wise only Uber Select and XL can pick up, any level Uber can drop off
Also At the parks any Uber can pick up or drop off. I know at Universal the pick up/drop up is at the same area as the Taxis. At Disney parks it will probably be the transportation center also where taxis pick up and drop-off.

 

Thanks!

LOL, black car and black SUV are the only ones that can pickup

 

Thanks for the clarification, I always get black and select mixed up.

 

This is kinda sorta wrong dude...

There are actually 7 different drop off points at the 7 different MAIN PARKS
the ticketing and transportation center is just one of those 7 and you would need a connecting bus to get to any of the other 6

1 Ticketing and transportation center (Magic kingdom)
2 Epcot
3 Disney studios (FKA Disney Hollywood studios, FKA Disney MGM studios)
4 Animal Kingdom
5 Blizzard Beach
6 Typhoon lagoon
7 Disney Springs (FKA Downtown Disney)

I seriously wonder if you ever worked the area or are just a troll sometimes.

As far as pickups/drop-offs, it will depend on the skill of the driver and their ability to navigate/con their way past Disney security as to whether or not you have to pay $15+ to park.

I normally work nights and after a certain time they stop charging for parking at the parks and normally if I get a ping its at the Transportation center, or at Disney Springs. Obviously you could pick up someone from at any of the hotels, just at the gate tell them your a Uber driver and your picking up whoever. Parking at the water parks are free but I don't think I would want to pick someone up whose soaking wet.

 

Umm those are just the last two that are open, the parks stagger closing times, but yes there is a large amount of business at all of them. And yes you will end up going to more than just the magic Kingdom if you go on vacation.

The closing order is (usually)
Water parks
Animal Kingdom
Disney Studios
Epcot
Magic Kingdom (ticketing and transportation center)
Disney springs

You cant just tell a tourist who is asking for information about whether or not pickups are possible/impossible that it's usually the ticketing and transport center. It's not like Universal where everything is in one spot.
