Hi, Mike!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Your vacation is quickly approaching and I am so happy you have sent us such a great question.
With the popularity of ride-sharing and carpooling services on the rise, designated Guest Drop-off/Pick-up areas have been added to all four Walt Disney World Resort theme parks.
I would advise that you pick up your family members no later than an hour after Park closing. Below I have explained the pick-up/drop-off process for Magic Kingdom Park and Epcot, but please keep in mind that these locations may change at any time. If they do, a friendly Cast Member can guide you in the correct direction.
Magic Kingdom Park:
Currently, the Guest pick-up/drop-off area is located next to the Ticket and Transportation Center. The drop-off area is located conveniently close to the Monorail and Ferry entrances, making it easy for Guests to ride over to Magic Kingdom Park. When your Guests are ready to be picked up, they will need to ride the Monorail or Ferry back to this same area.
Epcot:
Currently, the Guest pick-up/drop-off area is in the Resort Bus stop area. It is located behind Resort bus stop #2. A Cast Member will guide you to the lane you need to be in while entering the Park in order to access this area. When your Guests are ready to be picked up, they will exit the Park and make their way toward the Resort Bus pick-up lots.
Mike, I hope I have answered your question and that you will visit the Moms and Dads of the Disney Parks Moms Panel again!
With Lots of Pixie Dust,
Priscila
