WDW - Amway Center in a Lyft/Uber

[Louise Potts]

Hi, we are going to a Magic game during our April trip and wondered the best way to get to the Amway from SSR? We will not have a car. Any idea on cost in an Uner or Lyft? How long it takes etc? Thanks!

You can put both apps on your phone and "mock price" a ride. Keep in mind that during busier times of the day the rates go up. Also, both Uber and Lyft will have promos and discounts at various times. We tend to use whichever has the better deal at the time. It will give you the approximate time it takes, also. But those times can vary over busier times of day and traffic.
HTH!

I'd leave with plenty of time to spare. The Amway Center is in the thick of the I-4 Ultimate construction project near SR 408.

Thanks so much for your reply! I can't see the mock ride from here in the UK but I guess i will be able to check it out once we arrive in Orlando - hopefully not too expensive a ride it doesn't seem to be too far from WDW?

Thanks for the top tip! The game starts at 7:30 and we would like to be there for 6:30, can I ask what time you suggest setting off from SSR? Thanks so much!

I didn't realize you weren't from the US. You can price rides on their websites also, if you can get on them. I did a quick search:

On a weekday? By at least 5:30. The trip up I-4 has gone from about 26 minutes at 1 p.m. today to about 45 minutes now, and it's just 5 p.m.
