Saratoga Springs - Uber/Lyft

[xipetotec]

Hello all,

a few years ago, when we stayed at Coronado Springs, we found out the hard way that regular Lyft/Uber were not allowed to go along the "bus route" and pick us up at our building stop. The Lyft app even showed stops nearby, but that was only because it was partnered for the Minnie-vans, and ONLY the minnie-vans could go in there to pick you up. You had to go to the entrance of the main building to catch that Uber/Lyft.

Fast forward to now, where we can get a stay at Saratoga Springs on DVC points, but I'm concerned that this is the case here as well. I have read a couple of random places that they can come up to your building/area for a pickup here. Is that truly the case? Anyone have experience with this? With the sprawling size of the resort, I'd hate to have to make my way to the main building/entrance to catch a ride.

Thanks!

I dont have specific experience with regards to Lyft/Uber, but if they can get into the main gate to go to the Main building then there is nothing stopping them from going directly to your building.

Your Magic band / phone gets you in the gait for dropoff. The problem is getting picked up since they do not have access without you in the car.

We have used them but always went to the Carriage House to get picked up. Not sure if they would have come to the section or not. We found it easier to just go there.

But once through the gate, as mentioned, there would be no one stopping them from picking you up best your building’s parking lot.

Hi I don’t drive and use Uber/lyft In disney all the time. I have had no issues with either getting me at the valet of any of the DVC resorts or even the specific building I am in.(even if I’m not staying at that resort) At Saratoga earlier this year it would ask me in app which building I was staying in and the drivers just let the guards know at the gate they are here for a pickup or drop off. I am currently here at disney if you have any other concerns or questions

In the lyft app, you can designate specific areas of SSR. I had them bring my SIL from UCF (she was on my reservation but not sure if they even checked…she didn’t have her MB on her). Driver got lost on property but she eventually made it to close enough Grandstand for us to find her.

In December 2019 I got picked up by Lyft right in front of my building in Congress Park at SSR.

We were there in late June and got a standard Lyft (Mini Van was unavailable) and we were able to choose a pickup point right at the building number sign outside our building. Driver picked us up there, no problem.

I got a Lyft from the Grandstand area of SSR last week - the app wouldn't let me choose a spot right in front of my building, but it did let me choose a spot in front of one of the Grandstand buildings on the other side of the parking lot.

I'm sure though, that I could have stood my ground and just texted (or gestured) to the driver to come to my original location. But I just walked over, it was like a 3 minute walk.
