[jump00]

Quick question- We are staying off site…..where will be dropped off if taking an Uber to Epcot at 8:00 am.
Thanks,

The rideshare drop off point is at the very front of the parking lot, right next to the electric car charging spaces.

We stayed at YC last summer and were able to ride Remy 3x in a row before the line got too long. YYMV, of course. I think we got lucky because it was down at first, but came back up in only like 10 minutes. We chose to risk it and wait it out but many others decided to head somewhere else first.

This summer we are at WL and will not have IG access. We have been debating on what to do about this.

I tried to check for the price of a MV just now, but the app told me you need to be on property to see MV as a choice.

I'm able to see it if I just adjust my pick up point to somewhere on property. I've been spot-checking rates because I may want to try it out on an upcoming trip.

What routes were you looking at?

If people didn't want to pay for a MV they could also go over to DHS before park open and either walk or take the boat/skyliner to the IG.

Seems like it would be a lot easier to walk in the front and walk back to France. I doubt the monetary expense is worth the time savings, if any.

A MV from WL to BC.

I’m not following why people think a minnie van is needed here? Unless a car seat is needed, a regular lyft or uber can also take you from WL to BC. BC will let rideshares in to drop people off, they just won’t let you park unless you’re a hotel guest.

If you don’t need the car seats (I do, so I use MV), the only place where MV’s really shine is the Magic Kingdom drop off, since they are the only rideshare that can actually drop you off at the park as opposed to the TTC.

If it’s for rope drop, there is a good chance an Uber/Lyft will be turned away. We’ve stayed BC several times in the last three years and have seen more than one rideshare turned away without being able to drop off their fare.

Wow. At that point if you're solo you could just use Lyft and make a dining reservation for 1 person and no-show it for $10 and still be almost $20 ahead of using a Minnie Van.

I know the pickup point was just relocated to the Eve lot. Has drop off stayed the same?

Oh, it’s been a few weeks since I’ve been to EPCOT, so my info may be out of date.

Or Hoop Dee Doo - they'll take you straight to Pioneer Hall.

Thank you!!

There are 4 of us.
Idk if we will do a MV or not, but it is good to have the info. I am not willing to take a regular Uber and risk it.

There’s no issue taking a regular Uber to Swan/Dolphin. You can walk or boat to Epcot from there. It’s just another option.

I told my brother since he has a car he can dirve to Swan/Dolphin for rope drop and when they are done try to have lunch at Steakhouse 71 as I would rather spend the money on food rather than parking. I do like the idea of a regular Lyft to Swan/Dolphin. Much less expensive than a MV.

If you drive to Swan/Dolphin, there is a parking fee of $34). If you get dropped off with rideshare, there won’t be.

Jesus Christ. Seems like their parking fees go up every time I check.

Funny, $40.83 at 9:27am Eastern too. It’s like Disney wasn’t lying when they said MVs are distance based on their website…

Please stop checking for the rest of our sakes!
