Waymo's Orlando area
Waymo started welcoming riders on February 24, 2026 and opened to everyone on April 15 (Waymo). An expansion announced October 27, 2026 added 53 square miles, bringing the area to about 120, and added destinations such as the Orlando Science Center, the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts and Orlando City Hall (Attractions Magazine). The area includes the International Drive corridor; Walt Disney World and MCO remain outside it.
Theme parks
A field report from The Road to Autonomy found curbside drop-off at SeaWorld and a drop-off on the roof of a Universal parking garage (The Road to Autonomy); Attractions Magazine says Waymo doesn't pick up or drop off at Universal CityWalk or Epic Universe (Attractions Magazine). Our Orlando theme parks guide covers each park.
Tesla Robotaxi
Orlando is on Tesla's list of Robotaxi cities (Tesla). Attractions Magazine reported the coverage area sits north of Orlando International Airport and that Tesla hadn't announced service to Disney, Universal, SeaWorld or the airport.
Orlando International (MCO)
MCO isn't on Waymo's airport list (Waymo Help). For flights, plan a regular ride, shuttle or hotel transfer for the airport leg.
Ages: Waymo riders must be 18 to ride alone; younger riders travel with an adult, and children under 8 need a car or booster seat in the back (Waymo Rider Rules). Tesla Robotaxi doesn't allow children under 8 in a Model Y (Tesla Rider Rules), which matters for families. Full details for every company are in the rider rules matrix.

Questions riders ask
Is there a robotaxi in Orlando?
Yes, two. Waymo is open to everyone in its app across about 120 square miles, and Tesla lists Orlando for its Robotaxi app, with a coverage area north of Orlando International Airport.
Does Waymo go to Disney World?
No. Attractions Magazine reported in October 2026 that Walt Disney World remains outside Waymo's Orlando service area.
Does a robotaxi go to Orlando airport (MCO)?
Not as of our check. MCO is outside Waymo's area and isn't on its airport list, and Tesla hasn't announced airport service.
