Will the cost of rooms go down if it doesn't include ME? Probably not.

How many people are more inclined to visit universal if they’re staying offsite vs on? I wonder that.
if I have to drive, why not check out universal
We probably should of seen it coming. They said they were afraid of covid why you had to get your own bags now. I wasn’t buying it. Knew it was too save money. . Airlines handle bags all day long.

My wife and I visited Disney for many years before Disney Magical Express. We have been DVC members for 24 years.
We always either drove or flew and rented a car. We never used DME.
It will just go back to the way it was in the past the only difference will be you will have pay for parking if you are not a DVC members.
The idea for DME was to keep people from leaving Disney property to visit other parks or shop. Think captive audience.
Now with Uber,Lift and other ride share platforms guest are no longer a captive audience for Disney.
Disney is probably now thinking " why are we going pay to bring guest from the airport to keep them on property if they are going to leave anyway".
Just my thought.

This was exactly what DW and I were discussing this evening. Rideshare has burst the Disney captivity bubble a few years ago. Disney no longer needs DME to keep people captive at Disney since they are easily leaving to go other places in Ubers. Now they’ll just have to get to WDW on their own. People will still stay onsite, just like before 2005.I have not read through all 14 pages.

It is a good point and obviously they feel the cost of operating it wasn't worth the additional revenue it was creating (or perhaps where they saw the coats heading if a new contract was going to have to be negotiated)
Definitely will make traveling to WDW more challenging for some (many?) people - we shall see how it shakes out
I do hope they offer some sort of transport even if there is a cost related to it for those that really want/need something to make their trip easier/safer/etc
It really won’t. They’ve done a bunch of road construction over the past few years. And there are still a ton of people that drive, rent cars, or only come foe the day. The property is so huge there are tons of ways to get from point A to point B.This will lead to more traffic on property. The perk of staying onsite will be access to Disney transportation/walkways.
I am sure there will be a transportation option offered. I am also sure that most people here will not be happy either way.
