Terri this was GREAT! going next week and this is so helpful because i am nervous on how to get around via Coronado Springs Resort
🥰thank you so much!! I just stayed at Coronado this past week! Using the bus system was easy once you know how it works. There are 4 internal bus stops. Buses start at bus stop #2 and end at #1. So depending on which area you stay in that will determine how many stops you make before you head to the parks. 😊 buses do start running super early do or early park entry (😏 I do suggest getting there an hour before the early entry time…trust me)
Oooo! I'm staying at Coronado Springs! I'm worried with all the different bus stops I won't be able to make it on the earliest bus because it will be full. I'm also worried the buses won't leave as early as I'd like to get there before early entry. What time did the earliest bus leave for Animal Kingdom? And what time did the earliest bus leave for Hollywood Studios?
Great Video.. Thanks! ☺
Thank you so much and thank you for watching! 🥰
I’m from Texas as well this is so helpful
🥰thank you for watching!
Hi Ma'am. Thank you for the very useful info... I'm from Trinidad in the Caribbean and I last used Uber in Houston a few years ago.. Lol.. Seeing that the Disney hotels are now charging for parking your car, I was considering not driving there (I usually borrow a relative's car from SoFlo and drive to Orlando). However, seeing that we're a family of 5 - we'd most often need an XL - which is ~$15+ each way.. and this could very quickly exceed what I'd pay in hotel parking fees even considering days we don't use the car to go anywhere.. And we usually like to do our own exploring / sight seeing around the city aside from the parks. So I think I'd be sticking to driving (since I don't have to rent a car), parking and paying the parking fees :( which would end up cheaper for us. But I can see where ride share can possibly be cheaper than car rental and parking fees combined... PS - Happy holidays ! :)
Thank you so much for watching! You are totally on the right track and crunching the numbers when it comes to what transportation you choose to use. For awhile there renting a car was outrageously expensive and the available cars were slim to non due to Covid. Things are leveling out these days and it is so much fun to explore Orlando! - Happy Holidays to you too!
Hi! Have you done uber during spring break (march)? Wondering if priced go up alot? Btw thank you for all the information! Very helpful!
I was there the week before and a few days into Spring Break last year and I did not see a price hike. HOWEVER, a lot more people are traveling now than this past year so maybe factor in a $5 add on to the prices I mention in the video just to be safe. ✨😊✨
Great vid! Any advice taking Lyft or Uber with a 3 and 5 year old? From airport to resort
Thank you for watching! 🥰 the trip itself is about 15/20 minutes to the surrounding Disney area. As far as advice (for saving money) is if you can bring a portable car seat so you can save money on the kind of car you need. May I ask what exact advice you are looking for when taking rideshare with kids? That way I can answer exactly what you are wanting to know. ✨😊✨
Great, thanks for the video! We will be there in August.
Renting a car or taking a taxi would be to expensive.
Mybe I can make a deal with the driver for the 8 day's we will be in the area.
I promise it is super simple and easy! Thank you for watching 🥰
Thank you so much for the video. We are going on spring break and wonder your thoughts and recommendations. It’s there’s going to be 7 of us (3 adults and 4 kids) for a 9 day trip. We are going to all of the parks and plan on spending all day at each park. I want to keep us all together and not have to split rides but at the same time I don’t really want to spend $2k on a rental for that 9 days. What would you recommend? Is it worth just getting a rental? Also what are your thoughts on the spring break availability of ride shares? Thank you for your guidance.
To be able to give advice I have a few questions: You are staying offsite yes? The resort that you are staying at does not have shuttle service to the parks (some do if you schedule it - for a fee)? Next best advice I can give is download the rideshare app and put in the from/to information at the time you think you might travel to the parks (because time of day will matter) and price it out each day. If you find renting a car will end up being cheaper don't forget to factor in parking fees, check your resort for fees and then parking at the parks each day will be $25 (at Disney). Start there and if you have more questions ask! :)
Your video is very helpful! Thanks! We're going this summer; do you know how much Uber/Lyft will cost?
🥰thank you so much for watching! The cost will depend on where you are. Best way to get an idea of cost is to get in the app and put in your information like you were going to book a ride. Put in your resort address and then the park/place you are going to. If you roughly know the time of day you will be wanting to use rideshare look at those times so you get an accurate cost. Different times of the day will have different costs. 🤗 hope that helps!
Thanks you for this video👏👌
Is WIFI connection avaliable at the TTC or others rideshare stops at the parks?
You are very welcome! To answer your question I am not 💯 sure how far out the WiFi will reach once you leave the parks. I know it works at the parks, Disney Springs, water parks, & the resorts but outside of those areas I’m not sure at what point the signal gets lost. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more helpful 😔
Thabkyou for the informative video. I will be traveling with 3 other people and am a bit worried about us 4 fitting in an uber especially to and from the airport with all of out luggage.
Thank you for watching! If you are worried about that then size up on your car choice. Go for an XL one that fits 5+ ppl. That will help with room. 🤗
@@CreatingtheMagic I didn't think of that, I havnt used uber much. Thankyou
@@michaelwikoff6081 you are very welcome
✨☺️✨
Thank you so much for this video!! Just booked with a Hilton at flamingo crossings assuming their was a shuttle that took us to the parks. Big mistake 🤦🏽♀️ I guess we’re going to have to Uber everywhere and I was terrified that it would be a mess. But sounds like it’s a popular transportation method. Are the Uber/Lyft pick up areas easy to find?? None of my party has been to Disney before.
🥰thank you so much for watching! Using rideshare is actually pretty easy. 😊 pay attention to where you are dropped off each day. That is where you will be picked up at each park. Hollywood Studios is the park that the pick up/ drop off is the most complicated because the zone is a ways to walk. Anymore ?’s please ask! ✨😊✨
Im having this same problem lol
Hi Oriana,
May I ask you how long it took from the Hilton hotel to the Disney entrance using UBER ( price ) ?
Was the Hotel ok?
We are planning a trip in August.
Thanks a lot and greetings from Belgium.
Thank you for this! What exactly is the Celebration Area in Orlando?
You are very welcome! Think of “Celebration” like a suburb. It’s an area of town within Orlando. Thank you for watching! 🥰
I appreciate this video. We were debating a rental car on the first day we arrive for grocery pickup and some other miscellaneous stuff but was not sure if worth it. I miss Magical Express but will have to ride with the new normal. I have not used my Lyft/Uber app in a while so I am curious how do you let the driver know how big your party is?
Thank you for watching! 🥰 when you go in to start the process of getting a ride one of the steps is to pick a car according to how many people you have. To keep to your trips with rideshare to a minimum don’t forget about grocery delivery like Instacart. It’s used A LOT by guests on property.
@@CreatingtheMagic 🙏
Can you discuss ride share and tipping protocol? Thanks
Tipping is up to you. The app itself will prompt you to add a tip and give suggestions of how much. You can decide how much you want to give or not. Tip suggestions are normally between $3-$5 because the distance I traveled was not that far. The tip suggestion will change depending on cost of the ride.
@@CreatingtheMagic thanks👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for this video!! I’m doing a solo trip to WDW and it’ll be my first time at Disney! Is Uber/Lyft safe? And is there an opportunity for me to ride share with other families?
Thank you so much watching! 🥰 Yes Lyft/ Uber are safe. I use them often on my solo trips. (I just arrived today for a solo working trip 😇) And no there aren’t opportunities to share a ride with other families. Everything is done through your account that make with each (Lyft & Uber) and you schedule it for yourself.
@@CreatingtheMagic amazing thank you so much! Knowing this info puts me at ease for my upcoming trip!! Thank you so so much!❤️ have a great trip !
Information that I'm curious to know about is if food is still able to be brought into the parks. IDK if that rule has changed or not because of covid, and if their answer in their FAQ is updated to these standards.
You are still able to bring food in the parks ✨😊✨
@@CreatingtheMagic OK TY!
How does a grocery stop work? Do you preorder groceries and just run in and pick them up or do they add a fee for waiting for you?
I actually haven’t done it that way. My grocery stop has always been a separate travel stop. I have had drivers ask if I need to make a stop from the airport. It all depends on the driver itself. I will say if you have a driver like that to tip them well 😊
Hi Terri, we are travelling in a large group of 8 adults one 3 year old and we were wondering if she still needs a car seat and which company to travel to and from parks with we are staying on I drive, thanks ☺️
Hello 🤗 yes the little one will need a car seat if traveling by rideshare. With that large of a group check into Mears shuttle service or Orlando Shuttle Service. You will be able to put in your hotel address and then put in each park to give you an idea of pricing. If you haven’t already check with your resort many resorts have 3rd party shuttles to/from the parks for a fee. 🥰 thank you for watching!
Excellent video! I was looking for this information by googling, and the blog information was not satisfactory. Many of the blogs recommend renting a car, which doesn't seem economical for my small family of 3 considering I would have to pay $25+ daily parking at the hotel plus parking at the theme parks. I would rather be dropped off than deal with traffic!
YAY I’m so happy it helped! Thank you for watching. 🥰 oh man yes, 🥴 renting is car is a bit much when all the fees start getting added in. Rideshare is so convenient & quick and I love that I don’t have to think about driving.
Parking is free when staying on property at Disney World. And parking at any of the parks is also free if you are staying on property. I take the lynx bus 111 to SeaWorld and then a Lyft or Uber onto Disney property.
If I were staying on property I wouldn't be so concerned about how to find transportation. I found it MUCH cheaper to stay off property and take a Lyft. I just returned from my trip and am glad I made both the choice to stay off in a nice & cheaper hotel with a free breakfast and also the choice to use Lyft. If I had rented a car, it would have cost me more than taking a Lyft both ways because of the parking fees at both the hotel and the parks. @@cavy95
Is there any specific thing you need to type in as the location or could you just type in something like “Epcot” or “Hollywood Studios” and they’d know where to go?
You may type in the park name 🤗 and it will pop up in your app. Some parks like Epcot will have multiple choices the park is normally the first choice. Magic Kingdom sometimes comes up the TTC (that is where the drivers take you). normally the drivers will also ask when you get in the car “you are going to (park name)?” Don’t be afraid to confirm with them if they don’t ask you. 🥰 thank you for watching!
How early can the Uber driver drop you off at the theme park before it opens. I'd like to get to Animal Kingdom 45 minutes before early entry, which would be 6:45. Are they allowed to enter the parking lot that early?
Yes they are 🤗. Disney transportation starts running an hour before early entry and the parking lot opens roughly about the same time. 🥰 thank you for watching!
How safe would you say it is getting rides from strangers? I’m a country bumpkin so for give me for my simple question but I don’t trust all that well and have a big family and anticipate that we will be getting split up.
Not a simple question at all. I had the same thoughts when I first considered using rideshare. I do not live in a place where it is really needed so I had never used it before going to Disney so much. I have never felt unsafe from any driver even on the trips where it was just me traveling. The app tracks your every move (you can see it on your phone and so can the rideshare service headquarters (if you will). There are also buttons or communication places in the app as you travel if you feel unsafe you can alert or talk to a customer service person. Hope that answers your question.
Will Lyft and Uber allow a stop at a grocery store to pick up food before going to WDW?
Honestly it depends on the driver. I have had a driver asking that question before. But if you are thinking you need more than 30 minutes to shop I would look into using Instacart or Vacation Delivery Florida (or another service you prefer). These services are very popular no matter where you are staying 🤗 thank you so much watching! 🥰
I want to use Uber/Lyft to get from contemporary resort at Disney to Medieval Times at Kissimmee , and back to resort .. possible? What should I budget
Yes it is possible :). Best thing to do is go into whichever rideshare app you choose and put in all the information: address to & from, how many ppl, & do it at the time of day you will need it. This will give you an indication of how much it will be for one way. Prices vary due to demand, time of day, and how many people traveling. Hope that helps and thank you for watching!
@@CreatingtheMagic Thanks
hi ill be going to disney this coming february and staying on i drive are the prices about the same for uber and lyft to get to the parks
The weather in February 😍. It’s really going to depend how far away on I Drive you are from the parks. The best way to see what pricing will look like for you is to go in the apps and put in the your resort and each park’s address like you are going to schedule a ride. Do this at different times of the day to get an idea of the surge pricing as well. 🥰 thank you for watching!
ok thank you
Lynx paw pass app 300 bus goes right to magic Kingdom transportation Center. $2.
Any idea, on average, what the cost from airport to Disney Springs would be?
It will roughly be between $35 - $40 for a standard car. 3 stays ago I stayed at a resort next to Disney Springs and my cost from the airport to the resort was $38. Keep in mind prices fluctuate depending on time of the day. Thank you for watching!
@@CreatingtheMagic Thank you
My son uses a booster seat who is 6 years old. Googling car seats looks like he wont need one in florida?
Correct. Everything I have researched for the state of Florida says children under 5 need either a car or booster seat. 🥰 thank you for watching!
@@CreatingtheMagic wow 9 minute response on a year old video! Color me impressed
@@domziphone1 :) When I first started planning YEARS ago I was always frustrated when I couldn't get answers. When I started this dream of being a Disney content creator getting a response from me when someone takes the time to watch my video and ask a question or comment is priority #1. I want to be that Disney internet friend you know you can count on. Have a magical trip!
I have a question this video was made two years ago. Does this still apply to this day?:)
Yes it does 🤗 one of my next videos coming out will the updated version of this one because there are just a few small updates I want to add. 🥰thank you so much for watching!
