Any recent experiences with Mears from resort to parks?

It turns out that Lyft does pre-scheduled rides! I had no idea. This was the only reason I was looking into Mears. If anyone is interested, I can report back on how successful it was to prebook after next Thursday.

Uber and Lyft both offer pre-scheduled rides, but it's neither necessary nor advisable. All "scheduled" means is the ride is timed to be dispatched at a certain time.

What happens if you get delayed by something? The ride gets dispatched, you're not there, so you get hit with a $10 cancellation fee.

Just order your ride when you have your luggage and are ready to get in the car. Anything else is just asking for a cancellation fee.

Thanks for this! We are used to walking or taking transit everywhere...we have actually never used rideshare before despite being regular Disney visitors. We normally rely on the buses but they have not been kind to us the past few times trying to get to DHS early.

Listen to PP, you do not need to schedule a ride. There are hundreds of cars ready to go at any given moment, at all hours of the day, at Disney. You will NOT have any issues finding a car. I promise. I've used them at 1 AM, 1 PM, and all hours in-between. I've never not found a car

I’m definitely taking the advice that both of you are giving! I’m a total rideshare newbie so this information is very much appreciated

Our resident rideshare drivers advise against prebooking. just request the rise when you're at the pickup location ready to go. Or take a taxi. If there are no cabs waiting at your resort, He'll Services/Valet can usually get one there within a couple of minutes.

Thank you! I guess I’m just getting nervous while reading the ROTR thread with multiple people having issues getting rideshare successfully for the morning open.
