When you travel around Disney World, do you just rely on Disney World transportation, or do you use rideshare services?
Rideshare sign at EPCOT
We know that Disney bus, Monorail, Skyliner, and boat transportation IS convenient, but sometimes you don’t have as much time to wait for that free transportation and need to get somewhere a little faster (or somewhere Disney transportation can’t get you to easily). But if you’re heading to EPCOT via rideshare anytime soon, we’ve got an update to share with you.
If you’re planning to take a rideshare service at EPCOT, such as Lyft or Uber, the pick-up location for that service has now changed. You’ll need to walk to the further EVE lot to catch your ride. We recently noticed this when requesting a pick-up — the only option for pick-up location when NOT selecting a Minnie Van is the Eve lot. We also were directed to the Eve lot later by a Cast Member for a rideshare pick-up.
Rideshare services are operating out of the Eve lot now
It is a bit of a trek and could be a tough time on the feet and legs after a long day at EPCOT, so you might want to plan for alternative transportation. There’s still the option to take the Monorail or Skyliner to a resort and get a rideshare from there, but if you can just use Disney World transportation to get to where you’re going, that might be the route with the least amount of walking.

Disney keeps moving the Rideshare drop off and pick up locations farther farther away from the parks.
Is Disney going to force guests to use the Minnie Vans, or is the cab service complaining about the competition ?
My wife has to use a walker to get to the parks, then we rent an ECV for her.
With Uber and Lyft, she doesn’t have to stand in line like she does waiting for the Monorail or a Disney Bus.
The Rideshare service is not as crowded as Disney transportation.
Will the ‘drop & pick up area’ be pushed way back to that Eve lot too? I use a scooter & my disabled autistic son Is pretty fatiqued at the end of a day at Epcot. My wonderful husband drops us off & picks us up at the front area of the Epcot parking lot where the EV charging stations are. That area had a nice shade canopy. Will he now have to pick us up in this new Ride-Share area? How much further is this from the front of Epcot? The Old rideshare area worked out very well every time I was there, even when there was a bit of congestion at park closing! Any idea why Disney had to make things more difficult for park goers?
Also, are the trams running yet? Are trans able to pick up disabled people in Scooters? Thanks for any information.
My daughter used a rideshare in April to go from Coronado to the Boardwalk and then walked to Epcot from there. She said the driver just showed his pass at the gate and they let him right on through. This could be an option for those who use rideshare.
