Instructions for drivers
To help manage the large volume of requests at Epcot Center, Epcot and Uber have worked together to establish a temporary first-in, first-out queuing system.
Requests at Epcot Center
Pickup tips for drivers
Once you arrive at the first-in, first-out (FIFO) zone, you will automatically be placed in a virtual queue as long as you are online. When a rider requests a trip from Epcot Center, the request will go to the vehicle in the area that has been waiting the longest, rather than the vehicle that is closest to the rider.
If you’re the second partner to enter the area, you’ll be the second to receive a trip request. If you're the fifth to enter the area, you’ll be the fifth to receive a trip request.
To accept rides at Epcot Center you must wait in the Uber designated parking lot.
After you've accepted a request, pick your rider in the southeast corner of the Journey Parking lot.

Epcot Center FAQs
What if I receive requests for uberX and other products (e.g. uberXL)?
You will receive requests on a first-in, first-out basis within the FIFO zone. For example, if your vehicle is eligible for both uberX and uberXL trips, you will automatically receive both types of requests depending on which request comes first when you are at the front of the queue.
