Wow! Didn't know that. They need some serious help.Uber was looking at former Disney COO Tom Staggs for the role.

Can't be long if they are already hiring for it. I'm interested in the equipment frankly. What vehicles they are using and how it ties in to the MDE app as well as the execution involving pick up and drop off points.Any word on when this service might start being available to guests?
Uber is losing money an at incredible rate. They do not have "deep pockets" - they have empty pockets. Heck, they don't even have a COO. They are a technology start-up company with some financial backing, but no political or financial leverage. They are fighting against companies with deep pockets.
Thanks - this is very useful information. Here is another useful one - the headline:Check out Uber's market valuation. That's more important than their lack of profit.
An the notion that they have "no political or financial leverage" is just not true. They have an army of lobbyists.
I'm certainly not saying that the taxi industry doesn't engage in significant lobbying, as well. But, painting Uber as some David fighting Goliath is wildly inaccurate.
LOL - that text size came over with the copy/paste. I was not screaming. Nothing happening on the Dis is worth screaming about.Guess I'm done here. I don't need people "screaming" at me with bold text just because I don't share their viewpoint.
If only I didn't need a real job to pay my bills I would so do this.
I'm okay with it as long as it isn't extremely pricey. However, I will NOT use a cab service unless absolutely necessary. After living where I live now and hearing the horror stories about the cabbies here, I will not give my money to another cab company ever again. I'll take a bus or rent a car before I do that.
Laughing . Did the Load Zone Sign give it away? .WDWNT posted this on their Twitter a little bit ago, speculating that this will be the load zone for Disney Uber service at the MK. Looks like it's along the walkway to the Contemporary, though no word on where guests would enter/exit (Though it'd have to be before the security check).
So they moved the check point? In all my past experience the check point was at the end of the walkway right before the entry opens up.Laughing . Did the Load Zone Sign give it away? .
Now seriously - I'm personally surprised that this area moved WITHIN the MK Bus Zone. For years, the MK folks have had to chase confused drivers OUT of there. The area is a bit tight.... guessing it's going to cause issues for the dispatchers if any unmarked uber-like vehicle is allowed .
Oh based on last trip (4-25-2017) .... that Load Zone is PAST (as in "within the Park") current Security Check point on the Contemporary walkway...
For some people, it *is* a real job.
