Lunch Between HS and MK: Would you rather....?

[nkereina]

1. Uber to TTC then walk to Poly (mobile order Kona), boat to MK
2. Uber to TTC then monorail to GF (mobile order Gasparilla), monorail to MK
3. Uber to TTC then boat to WLodge (mobile order Roaring Fork), boat to MK

Generally with a mobile order, they permit people in past the guard. There have been a few people reporting being turned away with a mobile order only, but might be worth giving it a try. Would save you the time having to Uber to TTC.

As PP mentioned, you wouldn't be able to boat to WL from TTC, so I'd rule that one out.

5. Just stay at HS and do Baseline Tap House, Backlot Express, or Docking Bay Seven. Then bus to TTC, ferry/monorail to MK.

I like Baseline for a drink, but their menu is very small with apps only and seating can often be a challenge there. Plus its mostly outdoor seating so if its hot or raining, its not much of break. IMO, Backlot Express or Docking Bay Seven would be the simplest and most efficient choice allowing you more time at DHS, but we didn't love the menu at either on our October trip. I'd also suggest placing your mobile order early if you stay there - if you wait, the time slots often fill up.

Uber to Contemporary where we have a 1:00 ADR at the Wave, walk to MK

This is a viable option too and would be a more relaxing break to re-charge for MK.

I'm confused, Can't you take an Uber directly to WL? I know Uber to Contemporary can be an issue but is POLY and GF an issue? I'd go with 4 or 5 depending on what kind of meal experience you're looking for.

People are supposed to have a TS ADR to be permitted in the lot of any Disney resort when arriving via their own vehicle or ride share. However, many people have reported they can get in with a mobile order as well. I think people were being turned away from CR and BWI with a mobile order because they're the most popular Uber spots for getting to the parks, but it may work at WL.

I'd do Skyliner to Epcot, then pick up a pre-ordered sandwich at Ale & Compass Market at the Yacht Club and bus directly to the MK from there. You can eat at the bus stop if you have to wait a bit.

I'd call the resort and ask if you can get in with a mobile order, and if not, make a reservation at the main Ale & Compass and then cancel it as soon as you are in the building. (And no, I wouldn't feel wrong about doing that; it's never a high-demand restaurant, and it wouldn't be necessary if they were letting people in to pick up mobile orders; the resort makes money off me either way.)
