It was a marvelous and well planned" Oscar Experience " except for the "ride share" location at Roddenberry Lane, which was overcrowded and confused many Lyft and Uber drivers.

Another guest took my Uber ride and caused me a 30 minute delay and a $42 Uber charge for a ride that I never took.

Other than this rideshare mishap it was an enjoyable "Oscar Experience"!
