Birdman- we are staying at the Rosen centre hotel on I drive by the convention center. I'm a bit horrified bc the reviews sound terrible. Got it on a Priceline deal.

Thinking of not renting a car and just using uber everywhere.. what do you think about that?

I'm thinking the surge days will be New Year's Eve. We will just need a ride to and from the stadium and wherever we end up going that night. The Disney and universal days will be full days so we will just need a ride to and from the theme parks.

Rental car is $200 plus $15 a day for parking at the hotel. so all in all with gas, we should be spending around $300-$350.. I'm thinking we won't spend as much on uber.

What do you think?
Sorry this is long haha

Honestly, I can't say because I have no experience using uber there.

However I do have a buddy of mine that still lives there that trained me at Epcot and on the side he drives for uber and does well so you'll probably be ok.

If anything, they'll use roads other than I-4 to get around. I was going to tell you sort of a back way to get from the Universal area to LBV (Lake Buena Vista) but if you uber it, they'll already know it.

I would think you'd be ok doing that. Certainly from your hotel to Universal, it's right there. It's not far at all.

As far as the theme parks go, yes but they will be packed on the other days. I can't speak for Universal but I don't see why it wouldn't be like WDW always was. We were always busy from the day after Thanksgiving right up to Jan. 1 at Epcot. Epcot has the Candlelight Processional that starts the day after Thanksgiving and tons of people come to see it, so it'll be busy but yes, NYE is when it's just insane.

Have a fun time and ride the boats at Epcot! That's what I used to do!
