Time Lyft is allowed to drop off at parks?

[CapnJacksGirl]

We are thinking of doing Lyft to rope drop all the parks but MK for our upcoming trip. What time are they allowed to drop guests off in the mornings? We’d like to avoid the hassle of the bus from POR for rope drop but if we get stuck waiting to enter the parking/drop-off spot, it would defeat the purpose. Thanks in advance for the help!

It would be when they open the toll plazas to guests. I think it's generally about 60-90 minutes before the park is scheduled to open to all guests. If you want to enter at the front of the park for Epcot (where rideshares drop off), it's probably better to take a bus. If you want to enter Epcot at IG, then a rideshare to the Dolphin or Swan and walk. You can walk to DHS from the Swan/Dolphin, too. You could be dropped off there any time you want. Security will not allow a rideshare to drop off at the Yacht or Beach Club without a dining reservation. Make sure you take into account the demand for rideshares at park opening, the wait for a car may not be worth it if your goal is to save time and be there before others.
