Here now, Uber is the way forward FACT!

Iam here now, and have an SUV booked back home months ago separately.
To be honest, other than our trip to busch gardens (which hotel runs a shuttle for) we could Uber everywhere from the I-Drive area!
Saves on Disney $20 parking and even some hotels charge for daily parking, ie HRH which we ubered to.
Just gives a major sense of flexibility and freedom, have a drink no car to worry about, it's fast, reliable and convenient and just works.
I am a regular Uber user back home, but it's not everywhere where I live and prices regularly surcharge, here it's like a way of life and it's such a great experience no cash changes hands, I actually felt inclined to tip for my ride on a few occasions as it wasn't expected, but was deserved.
Think my next visit to Orlando will be skipping the rental counter!

Woo hopefully this will encourage people to use them more - especially after the news last week with Uber & London.

We have been under 21 every year in Florida but next year we both will be able to drive.. But we are just happy using Uber! Saves money / time - and we will be able to have a drink!

Hope you have an awesome trip

I just don't want to get into a car that does not have to be licensed properly, and is driven by someone who just fancies doing it with no tests to pass etc. Never used Uber, never will, would prefer to drive and not drink.

Feel the same with taxis as well.

As the old saying goes:

"Don't knock it till you've tried it"

Uber are brilliant and I'm gutted that London may be losing them

I'm a bad passenger at the best of times, getting into someone i don't know's car is not my idea of fun at all.

Very much doubt i will try it ever.

If i want to get about in London, I tube or bus, taxi or Uber just never cross my mind.
