$20 is a bargain. Wait until November, it will be $40 and a year from now it will be $60 lol

So if you order this through the Lyft app, does this mean a regular Lyft will no longer be available on property? Otherwise it seems like many would just choose the cheaper option.

We are staying at the BW in a few weeks and today when I logged into MDE from my phone, I got pushed a way to sign up with Lyft. I'm assuming it can tell I'm not on property yet because I couldn't actually request a car. It says in all signed up though.

I really wonder how well this will do. When I looked today most uber/lyft fares from a resort to a park were around $6-8 with about a 5-7 minute wait. Might be hard for Disney to compete with that at $20 a pop. I could see it working for larger 5+ people in a group

So I use Uber all over the world where it is available. Does Lyft even accept international debit cards or is the app even available outside of the US?.

I got a notice yesterday to update my lyft app. I was excited becasuse I assumed this meant that it was for the Minnie Van addition. I tried to plug in a pick up at Beach Club to MK, but it didn't come up with a Minnie Van option? Do you have to actually be on property for it to work?
Also, I will definitely use Minnie Van from BC to MK because it drops you off at the bus stop. I am pretty sure that Uber and Lyft cannot take you that close. They would have to either leave you at one of the mono resorts or the TTC. Since we like to be there are rope drop, I much prefer the ease of just taking a Minnie Van straight up to the bus stop instead of worrying about what time the monos operate or having to hike to the back of the resorts to catch a boat. I don't think I'll use it for anything else, though. I'll just use regular uber or lyft.

↩ replying to KCheatleI read earlier today that to use the Lyft app the resort has to enable it on your phone, currently only at BC, YC, and BW. I'm sure this is to restrict usage to those resorts for now during testing, and that it will work for everyone then.
I see this working best when you're short on time for a reservation and/or heading to a resort or water park. We probably wouldn't use Uber or Lyft, so this is a nice alternative to a taxi. At least you know the exact cost before you use it and know it's a Disney CM.

Does the minnie van include a free fastpass...or two free cakes...

I was walking out of AK on Sunday and saw this to the left of the exit. Don’t know if they were just testing or waiting for their passengers, but it was cool to see in person!

↩ replying to KCheatleTo get to the MK with Uber or Lyft just ask to go to the contemporary. The driver can let you out just past the security gates. It's a short walk across the street and you are almost as close as the bus stop.

In one of the videos a CM/driver was saying in what they call campus resorts they would drop off/pickup closer to the room. Anyone with inside information know if that means for the campsites (once it's out of the limited availability for BC/YC/BW) they will pick-up and drop-off from your campsite? I only recently got a big class A motorhome and I'll be staying at the campsites for the first time in September (usually stay at the Grand Floridian), but it does look like transportation will be a concern. Right now my thoughts are to drive my jeep to the parks and not use transportation, but if this goes to the campsite for pick-up/drop-off I would totally pay $20/trip.
