At a flat $20 per ride, they definitely aren't looking to chase Uber away. I'd be willing to pay $20 if I got to bypass security like with the express service. Not worth $20 to me just get from point to point.
Well I haven't seen anyone say it's complimentary.
This YouTube shows the Minnie Van @ the Boardwalk . The Disney Driver said it was COMPLIMENTaRY!! It is @ about the 1:49 minute point.
Watching the video it sounds like its complimentary for the test at BWI. Once it rolls out I can't see it being complimentary.

I'm thinking it's complimentary until the full rollout. They need their drivers to test it some how:
How's about COMPLIMENTARY?!?!

Good idea. That's definitely doable. They could enter thru the service road by WL and drop off at the mostly unused shelter by the stables.If Disney was really smart, there is one place on property where this "Uber" system could really work out great for them and guests, Trail's End Restaurant and Pioneer Hall - Hoop Dee Doo Musical Review. Now what I meant about Disney being smart is they would have to find away for the Minnie Vans to drop you off very close to both buildings. I'm not talking about dropping you off at there internal bus station then taking there bus to both places. I'm talking about the Minnie Vans dropping you off with a very short walk to them. NO more taking a bus to Magic Kingdom then a long boat trip to Fort Wilderness. I mean front door service from your Resort Hotel, to the Trail's End or Hoop Dee Doo Review. It is very hard sometimes to get to those places on time and this service could make that a lot easier. $20 to me is not bad in that situation. I think Disney should considering working something out.

Accident may have been the wrong word, perhaps it was to see how they performed - don't remember which thread I read it in - it caught my attention because I'd really like a non bus way to get from AKL to AK.

Yaas. But I'm not paying $20 to go around the corner. I thought Disney would have figured out by now how to get those staying at AKL over to AK via walking bridge by now.
Yeah, this is my issue too. Disney transportation only edges out having my own car when I am heading to MK. I hate parking at the TTC. Hate it. So, wherever I am staying, if I plan on going to MK, I suffer on the Disney transport added at that resort. Going to MK is the only time I will consider using this and that depends on the time of day and where I am staying. If I am over at Boardwalk and want to get to MK at 5pm, I would probably use it. At 11am, probably not since usually there isn't a traffic issue at that time of day. IMO, the prices aren't competitive enough against Mears and Uber.
You can't get 2 car seats on Uber. Sometimes you can't even get one. As I said in an earlier post, $20 is usually less than the cost of UberXL with a car seat, and not much more than an UberX with a car seat.As for cost - if you are 6 people and need 2 car seats, that is an Uber XL and the car seat fee - it is likely getting very close to a similar cost. But if you are just 1-2 people, not car seats, etc. - then Uber will be chaper. Again, different markets
I would not be so sure- the buses only run from DHS to BW/YC/BC if it rains...That's called the bus since I doubt that Disney will stop bus service to these resorts for Epcot and Hollywood.

These 2 posts brought visions of riding a camel or an elephant from AKL to AK - sort of like rental horses on trail rides, climb on up and amble on over. Maybe Ostriches to tie in to the Swiss Family Robinson IP?No bears? But bear transport seems like so much fun...
