Animal Kingdom: Instructions for drivers

Animal Kingdom makes it easy for tourists to catch an Uber there and back. And with a designated parking lot, it’s easy for drivers to cash in on the action.

We have a designated lot at Animal Kingdom where drivers can wait for trip requests at the southern end of the taxi lot.

When you get a trip request from Animal Kingdom, head to the northern end of the taxi lot, where your rider should be waiting.

Pro tip: Call or text your rider to let them know where you’ll be waiting.

The designated dropoff location for riders going to the Animal Kingdom is the taxi lot on the north end of the property.  

Due to COVID-19, Walt Disney World has reopened with drop-off restrictions prior to park opening times to minimize crowd sizes at entrance gates.  

The Animal Kingdom opens at 8:00 AM daily.  If you arrive more than 30 minutes prior to park opening time, expect delays in accessing the designated rideshare drop-off location.  

Despite the delays, drivers and riders should only end trips at the designated location to avoid being cited by law-enforcement. 

After 7:30 AM, regular drop-off location access will begin.

When picking up riders, follow these instructions for using the designated Uber lot at Animal Kingdom:
