Just messaged him. Thanks!!We had (and still have) great service with Tony Hinds (look him up on Facebook). He (or one of his drivers) is absolutely willing to go to the Walgreens drive-through testing with us. I don’t know exactly how much it will cost to do just a back-and-forth drive-through as we did that while going somewhere else but I’m expecting something around 40-50$. Definitely worth it in my opinion!
You won’t regret it. He really wants to help us travellers. I got the reference here as well, we’re keeping him busy!Just messaged him. Thanks!!
I have a test planned for this coming Thursday my son who needs a PCR test for band camp (even though he's fully vaxxed!) right after our trip. It's at CVS and yes, it's drive-thru.
I did a ton of research and could not find anything that would be free (or under $150) that was NOT drive-thru. I'm a Costco member and found that I could rent a car from Avis through them at the Hilton Disney Springs for the day for $65 total. I figured a taxi or uber/lyft would be about that price as well when you add in the wait time. I also was hesitant because I didn't want the uber or taxi driver to refuse (which is a real possibility). All in all, I feel better with the rental! I'll report back with how it went!
So just thought I'd update. The car rental went well enough. I stayed at the Swan and took a Lyft to the Hilton at Disney Springs at about 7:30 in the morning this past Thursday. The Hilton is about 10 minutes from the Swan so I had time to spare. The desk was supposed to open at 8:00am but the agent wasn't there until about 8:10. I was on the road back to the Swan in 10 minutes. Picked up the fam and we went to AK (parking is free with Disney/Swan room key). Left with the park with my son and it took about 30 minutes to get to the CVS (the closest with available appointments--I booked a week in advance). Went to the drive up pharmacy window and the pharmacist handed us a test kit, he swabbed his nose, I put the kit in a collection bin and we were on the road back to MK. It was very easy and kind of nice to have a car for the day. I returned the car at about 10 pm--they are closed but they said to just drop the key with the Hilton front desk.
All in all it was easy. The benefit of renting through Costco was important and getting the appointment a week or so in advance was important too. Kind of a pain in the neck but way better than shelling out $150+.
Got a text with the results (negative!) at about 6pm on Friday.
Are you Canadian and did you register on line for an appointment/test? If so, did it cost you anything for the test? How did you handle the address and insurance plan questions?

I am NOT Canadian so I can't answer any of those questions! My son needed the PCR test for a camp he's attending. My point in posting is that the logistics of picking up a car, getting to CVS, and returning to WDW was easy. If you search these forums others have been able to answer your questions.Are you Canadian and did you register on line for an appointment/test? If so, did it cost you anything for the test?

I'm interested in these things too. I went into Walgreen's website just to see how far I could get. There was no question about insurance. When it came to the address, I was stumped. I put in the address of the hotel I'm staying at and it accepted and gave me a list of available times. The list included the following 3 days and the first 2 days were completely booked. So I'm thinking you have to plan to book 3 days out and factor in the 72 hours after that.Are you Canadian and did you register on line for an appointment/test?
