Social Story - Looking for pictures - MCO

[ClaraOswald]

My son is autistic and I'm going to work on an updated social story for our January WDW trip. We went last January so I have a lot of pictures I can use from that trip.

However, instead of doing Mears this time, we are going to do Uber or Lyft. We've never done a ride share before.

I was wondering if anyone had (or could take) some pictures of the Ride Share pick up area at MCO. Preferably Terminal A since we'll be flying Southwest. Just pictures of the area where we will be waiting for an Uber to pick us up. I just want him to be able to see that it will not be a bus or the bus waiting area like our last trip.

Thanks for any help anyone can give me!

I do not have any pics for you but YouTube is a fabulous source. I just did a quick search using "uber at MCO" and several videos popped up. You could show the videos to your son or take some screenshots to add to your social story.

Have a great trip!!

Be aware that drivers will sometimes ask to meet at Departures if there is heavy traffic at arrivals or sometimes an area further down in one direction or another. When you request a Rideshare you will be sent the following info and looking for: EXAMPLE Blue Honda Accord with license plate YYY-YYY. You will also be given the drivers name and phone number to text/call them and they will be able to do the same with you. In other words they have no idea who you are how many people where you are exactly waiting or anything else other then your name and phone number you will be looking for them. Sometimes it is slightly hectic as you will need to grab your luggage etc and walk to them when you see the car. For most this is something not thought of as it is normal and expected.
Please consider this when explaining how a rideshare works.
From a resort it will be much different and easier.
