We used uber to get from Portofino Bay to WDW. I don't recall how much, but it wasn't bad.

Check RideGuru: https://ride.guru/ I find RideGuru generally pretty accurate, although these are just estimates.

RideGuru will give you comparative pricing for Uber, Lyft and taxi, including several vehicle options. For 1-4 people with no luggage, you can take UberX or regular Lyft. 5 or 6 passengers, you will need UberXL or Lyft Plus.

Before you actually order your ride, you will get an accurate estimate on your Uber or Lyft app for the ride. With Uber at least, the price estimate is what you will pay. I'm not sure about Lyft pricing in the Orlando market.

Here's a link to the comprehensive Uber/Lyft at WDW thread: https://www.disboards.com/threads/everthing-you-wanted-to-know-about-uber-lyft-at-wdw.3443634/

We also used uber from cabana Bay to Disney springs. It wasn't expensive, maybe $15?? Uber have a ride calculator online.

I just checked RideGuru and got prices of approximately $12 for Lyft, $13 for UberX, and $20 for either UberXL or Lyft Plus.

Yes they do. Last September we rented a car from Portofino Bay to go for an over night stay at POFQ for MNSSHP then came back to Portofino the next day and returned the vehicle. Very easy process.

Thanks for the information on Uber or Lyft from Universal property to Disney Springs.

What about Disney Springs back to Universal Property (i.e. Royal Pacific)? From the website the process seems very chaotic...where I have to stand at one spot of Disney Springs to request car and then walk to another spot to pick-up car (which according to the map isn't close). Is this accurate or is there a more simplistic way?

Joel can answer questions about specific pickup locations better than I, but you should be AT the pickup point BEFORE ordering a ride. And whatever you do, DON'T order in one spot and then move!

Your driver will be sent to the location where you order the ride.

If you are not there, the driver will wait the required period and then cancel the ride and you will be charged a cancellation fee. If you drop your pin at the established pickup spot, intending to walk there, again you are risking a cancellation fee.

I don't know what you're looking at.

There are 2 pickup locations, at opposite ends of DS. You don't need to be in any specific spot to request a ride, but as Jim said, it's best if you are at least within eyesight of the pickup location. I think the app will automatically direct you and the driver to the pickup location nearest you; if not, the app will ask you which one you want.
