Can an Uber expert please provide an idiot's guide?

Good thread, interested in tips/answers too.

Just wondering about the wifi and not moving. Wee bit concerned that I'll get wifi inside a shopping mall/outlet for instance, but obviously have to move to roadside, where there may not be coverage.

Also, think I read on another thread that you don't generally tip drivers, just give them a good rating, which they may ask for lol.

Hi

Are Uber driver able to pick you up from Disney Resorts ? just wondering if they get through the barriers etc

I think this is the way to go for our Mum and daughter trip, thanks for all the tips

There is an Uber page in the Dibb Guidebook, however it needs some work done on it as it was last updated in 2015.

I do most of the 'driving' pages but I know nothing about Uber. We need a volunteer to modernise it for things like Uber now being allowed at MCO etc etc.

Any volunteers please?

We stayed near Universal in May and used Uber to get to Disney. They always seemed to arrive fairly instantly when heading from our hotel into WDW so make sure you are at the lobby of your hotel ready! They don't hang around.

Really easy to get back from WDW too, it'll be in the pick up area. Only place we found slightly more difficult was Disney Springs as there are two pick up areas there at each end.

We found we did not need to tip with Uber, it wasn't expected and I would say we used Uber nearly every day and still had a 5* rating, so I would not worry too much. The 5* rating seemed much more valuable to the drivers than a tip from what we could gather.

I would say it cost us between $11-$16 per trip depending on which park we headed too and the traffic. Uber was great though and I wouldn't hesitate to use it again for the price.

They get through fine, they just say they are picking up and usually have to show the person their drivers licence.

You would wait till you are near where you want picked up, not going to matter if you request it inside the store then go out, But you will get a choice of where you want picked up when you are requesting it.
You will see a little dot on the map where you are and you can move it slightly . I don't as it usually completely moves it way out lol.

Reading today that Tesco are brining in exchanging Clubcard credit for 3 * Uber credit. Hope this comes in very soon as I have £30+ of points and will be using Uber a lot in Orlando 🤞

I agree, the guide also needs to start from the very ground up such as 'does the UK app work in the US?'.

Thanks

That's what I mean. So come on who is going to do it?

[Orlando 2004]

Has anyone used Uber from Manny's or outback on the 192 or any of the restaurants at the crossroads. Wondering whether there is wifi in them as I can't remember and I'm not sure if we'll have data turned on on our phones.
Also how would we get picked up from our villa on a gated community? And how easy is it to be dropped off/picked up at Epcot?

Sorry for all the questions but we're clueless and aren't very up on technology!
