Using Uber?!

Kellya · 15 Jan 17, 03:52 PM

Has anyone had experience of just using Uber to get around pretty much everywhere?
We're staying at the Clarion Inn Lake Beuna Vista and it does have its own shuttle bus but the times look dreadful. I also know there is a Lynx 50 outside which looks great at getting to Disney Springs but with a 20 minute journey to TTC and then a link to the Disney Park I think my kids and I will find this time consuming. Renting a car isn't an option for me.
I just wondered if anyone could give me an idea of how much I would roughly need to budget to get to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, even Blizzard Beach etc.
I am thinking of maybe using the Lynx 50 after a short day at a park but definitely not to arrive for rope drop or after fire works etc.
Any budget ideas would be welcome thank you

Yes, and it's so easy and convenient. Last year we planned to do a mix of buses and Uber, but when our first Uber was cheaper than the iTrolley, we decided to just use them all holiday.

There are a couple of fare calculators online - like this one...
uberestimate/
...where you can get a feel of how much things will cost.

We were based on International Drive (with 5 nights onsite at Disney) - our costs from I-Drive were...

- $12-$13 to Disney
- $6 to Universal and SeaWorld
- $9 to Florida Mall
- $27 to the airport (but we had an UberXL for that one, which costs more).

Thank you so much for that link its fantastic and made me realise that Uber seems to be the way forward.
I'll definitely down load it before we go and see if I can get any good codes for discount rides but at the prices showing it out weighs waiting on a bus and having the extended journey,
Thanks again

Hi just wondering if I could tag onto the end of this post. Do Uber now allow you to drive all the way into the parks? I remember reading online before that they were not allowed to go past the booths and instead people were going to hotels and taking on site transportation?

Thank you!

Use Uber loads in the evenings so we can have a drink! Really good value and service.
