Our trip got cancelled/postponed from late January (17-24) to Feb 25-March 3. Can you update us?
That should work. When the Uber driver pulls up at the guard house, sometimes he/she saying "I'm here to drop off" is good enough and other times, they security guard presses for why they are dropping you off. Usually an answer of eating, shopping, meeting a friend is good enough and they will let you through.good morning. if i am staying at a hotel near universal, can i take an uber on our epcot morning to beach club, and walk into epcot via international gateway? and same thing leaving at the end of the night, walk back through beach club to the lobby and take another uber back to our universal area hotel?
thank you
i only ask because i am assuming with genie + i will be able to score the remy ride sometime in the morning, so it makes sense to take an uber to that entrance instead of future world...That should work.

It can be hit or miss for them letting you in. Some guards are more strict than others. I was staying there and arrived in an Uber and the guard wouldn't even let me in at first! Finally after calling someone he let us through. You may have better luck getting dropped off at the Swan/Dolphin, they don't check there.good morning. if i am staying at a hotel near universal, can i take an uber on our epcot morning to beach club, and walk into epcot via international gateway? and same thing leaving at the end of the night, walk back through beach club to the lobby and take another uber back to our universal area hotel?

Leaving from the BC via an Uber shouldn't be a problem however.
Yup, technically if you don't have a reservation for dining or staying at the hotel they're not supposed to let you in. Some guards will not care and will just wave you through, but others could turn you away.yeah, i was researching i think i can say i am trying to visit the disney boardwalk and see some dining etc...can they really block us from that? lol
hmm ok then. maybe i will try swan and dolphin. or maybe just get dropped off at the epcot main entrance. i would hate to get unlucky and be turned away at beach club and then its like now what?Yup, technically if you don't have a reservation for dining or staying at the hotel they're not supposed to let you in.

yeah, i will probably now choose the front of the park and go from there. it seems to be the easiest access pointThey have been much stricter lately. Technically without a reservation they may not let you in. I would get dropped off at the main entrance of EPCOT or if you really want International gateway, get dropped off at HS and walk/boat/skyline over.
Welcome back! We will add you to the list.It's been almost 3 years since I've been to Disney (I had my last trip interrupted when the parks closed in March 2020). DH and I are FINALLY making a return trip, staying at the Yacht Club from March 9-18,

Have a wonderful trip, everyone! We will add you to the list.We will be at YC 9/7-9/14/23!
I just caution you to be prepared to be told no. I have encountered more "strict" security people than lax. They usually ask why specifically or even ask your name to check reservations. It could have been my luck. However, I did have reservations or actually stayed at the hotel so it was never an issue.good morning. if i am staying at a hotel near universal, can i take an uber on our epcot morning to beach club, and walk into epcot via international gateway? and same thing leaving at the end of the night, walk back through beach club to the lobby and take another uber back to our universal area hotel?
