@firstwdw I hear ya, trying to keep exposure risks down. WDW didn't make these changes due to that aspect but so many people were abusing the drop off's at the hotels that it was impacting the guests of those hotels. They started this all before Covid, then when they allowed you to mobile order that was a new way to get dropped off at the resort hotels, then Disney nixed that option. Your safest option if you want to avoid the bus is to use the ride share then take the Ferry and try to get up on the second deck along the railing. Or make a breakfast reservation at one of the resorts in the area and Uber there - with the ADR you should be good to enter and get dropped off.
