I think i would do this if I didn't have a car to put all my stuff into whilst shopping... those bags get heavy, when you keep buying hahaha!

Yes you see this a lot especially at the outlets. Makes me smile to see people come out of the shops laden with carrier bags then throw all the wrappings into the bin and cram the item into a suitcase. Sometimes you see whole families with a case each !

Heehee, really?!
It takes serious shopping to a whole new level I guess.

Hi how many times have you been, can't imagine not having a car to go and explore. There is so much offsite even for some meals etc. For us a car is a must even thought we spend 10 days approx onsite and use the transport as it is so good. We then follow this with some days at a golf resort.

This'll be my 10th I think. Hired a vehicle for the first holiday in 2000 but we stayed in a villa then. Since being on site, I dont bother.

i am a 66 year old woman, who frequently travels alone. I use Uber regularly and have never had a problem or felt unsafe.

I did once take a taxi from WDW and had my debit card number stolen after a long and confusing trip to the airport.

I feel much safe with Uber where you are given the identity of the driver.

I had no idea about the reg number option MissAliJS, that gives me a bit more confidence for future possibilities, thanks for that.

Alidoll, good to hear that its straightforward , thanks.

CartoonP...I think if I was going in February, I'd certainly do this, useful to know, but now I feel the July heat too much, sadly, and I'd be wiped out before starting shopping haha

Disney332 "Mears at the hotel called by the CMs at the front, Mears for return as they are at all malls."... my kind of easiness My son and I will be doing this I think . Have got many cabs from the hotel in the past, but never from outside 'the disney bubble' . Thank you.

Thanks everyone. Off to investigate shopping malls. Looking for a place with a Disney Outlet, teen boy/mens clothes, and any little bargain bits if they still exist.

We love the Vineland Premium Oulets

It has a disney outlet (cheap stuff that you can use a $200 gift card in ) and a mountain of cheap designer shops ... mrs D332 loves ugg!

Also its the nearest to wdw, so the cheapest fare.

Hi we are similar 13 times in 18 years . We love onsite with ddp but then like to chill in a relaxed golf resort but still pop into Disney for some evenings .

Stayed onsite in Feb and I went to the outlets solo in a Lyft. I have used Uber in the past but this time Lyft had a coupon for 50% off the next 10 rides so I went with them. I also used them to get from Disney Springs back to Epcot for the fireworks and we took them back to the airport. I've also used them in California. At the outlets there is also a Mears taxi stand so there's no way you will get stuck there and I'm nearly sure there's a stand at the mall too, haven't been there since 2017 but I do recall seeing lots of Mears taxis about.
