That's absolutely fine. You can book on any device and your driver will find you based on its GPS signal. We used to book in the room then wander down to the front of the hotel after a few days using it. It was always 3-4 minutes ETA for us from I Drive so we had time to get the lift down. Bear in mind that if that is your only device, you'll need to find other means of getting back if you've left it in the hotel!

UberX can accommodate 4 riders. There is an option to call the driver once they have been allocated to you. I would call them once you schedule the pickup just to make sure. There is no way to schedule a pickup ahead of time, unfortunately.

Yes, you can. We took all our Ubers from The Swan (bar one from Old Key West). All Disney hotels are accessible by Uber. We went from the hotels to a variety of places, including Universal which has a drop off zone for taxis, buses and Ubers.

this is a very informative thread, thanks for posting and thanks to the DIBB for making it a sticky .
I'd be interested in using Uber as we are moving hotels 3 times while in Orlando so will need a taxi which will take 3 adults and luggage - do you think that would be UberXL, or would I be better just using Mears or another local taxi company for those journeys? |

Wonder would Uber drivers do a long trip towards Tampa?

You'll be fine ordering the cheapest. We had four bags and two adults and we still had room to spare in the massive US cars.
