Another Uber question

[cloechel]

We will be staying at Loews Royal Pacific this August and plan to take Uber to & from Walt Disney World (for a day..... actually from mid-afternoon into the evening). When using the Uber app:

• is it enough to to put "Loews Royal Pacific resort" as our location? Or must we be more specific (exact address)?
• Can the Uber driver pick us up right at our resort or must we walk to the resort's parking area?
• For destination, is it enough to put "Epcot"? (or Magic Kingdom..... or Animal Kingdom.... etc.).
• Is there a particular WDW theme park that is easier for the Uber driver to drop us off at? We have old park-hopper passes (to exchange at the park's Guest Relations) so we are flexible as to which park to visit first.
• About how long a ride is it (time-wise) from Universal's Loews Royal Pacific resort to the closest WDW theme park ..... and which theme park would that be?
• When it is time for us to return to our Universal resort, can we have the driver pick us up from any WDW theme park or is it easier for Uber to pick us up by one of the WDW on-site resorts?

1- Yes, start typing in the name of your resort and before you type many keys the name of the resort pops into their address window, it is very intuitive
2- Yes, they pick you up right at the door of the resort, same as a taxi or bus.
3-Yes, Epcot pops right up in the Uber address window
4.- use mapquest or goggle map to figure it out yourself, it takes about a minute
5- Except for Magic Kingdom, Uber picks up right where the taxi's are at all the Parks. For Magic Kingdom, do the 5 minute walk to the Contemporary Hotel, and then use your Uber App. They will be there in less than 10 minutes.

Well, not exactly, but in the same general area. Follow the instructions given by the app when you request the ride, and keep your phone on in case the driver can't find you.

Thanks so much for the info!
