There is no reason for gate guards to restrict Uber, and if they let taxis in and keep Uber out they are violating state law.
An Uber entering the Contemporary is a non-event because they are just dropping off -- not taking a parking space. A guard who stops an Uber in that situation is just turning away a paying customer for Disney.
Over the years, I have seen numerous posts saying the guards are "strict," but I don't remember ever seeing one saying, "This happened to me." Most of those posts are, "...people say..."
Unless you get some actual personal feedback that occurred within the last few weeks, I wouldn't worry about getting into the Contemporary.
My bad...sorry.You may have just broken DISBoards with that logic.
Were you in an Uber?We had a lunch ADR and they scanned our bands when the Uber stopped at the gate. Proceed with caution.

I assume that was recently, right? Did the guard ask for magic bands? Did they say why they asked?
Hmmm. Maybe they've changed their procedures. I wonder what they'd say if you said you just were going to the Contemporary to do some shopping?I took a Lyft from Swan to CR a week ago. My driver asked me if I had a dining reservation (I did) because he would have to take me to TTC otherwise. The guard at the CR gatehouse asked for my dining reservation information and ID.
Oh well, at least they won't raise the prices!I know it is difficult to vision unless you have visited very recently because policy changes frequently. I think of a Twilight zone visit to your home but it has become not so . The Amenities for actual guests are limited and subject to strict Capacity ... Security Guards are the first to enforce entry by asking if you have a reservation. They have castmembers posted at all gift shops and dining to maintain capacity and you will need to show mobile order pickup is ready or allowed into gift shop with guest count and only one way in and one way out doors!
When you plan to go to the theme park parking lot the line will not open until cast receive OK to open and they willverify you have Theme Park Reservation for that specific need. Then they are parking cars slowly with empty spot inbetween so you both do not open car doors too close to each other. And then they are not operating trams so you will walk in hot sun on hot pavement and then stand in line to have your temp taken!
Sound like anything you can imagine for a fairytale story land?
Think Capacity ! Pack your patience. It’s still kinda fun
You need be a staying at the Contemporary resort or have a dining reservation .We transferred from Port Orleans to AKL by uber and the guard scanned our bans.We had a dining reservation at the Contemporary and they confirmed before entry.Can you uber to the contemporary in the morning without a dining reservation? I dont actually want to go to the contemporary just to walk into to magic kingdom. Or do you you have to uber to the ticket and transportation center?
