Just thinking out loud here but could this be a way to keep people on site? Stay at hotels and use Disney transportation so people don’t go venture off elsewhere. Sure there is still Uber but that’s also an added expense.
We haven’t gotten a car at Disney since 2003. We always use Disney transportation now. Even the one time we stayed at the Dolphin we used a shuttle to and from the hotel.
I suppose, but what I would be curious about is the statistics around people who drive vs. fly to Disney. I could be wrong, but I would think that between locals, weekenders (like us who live in state but aren't truly local), and long-distance road-trippers, Disney has a larger percentage of driving vacationers than many other destinations.
And even being drivers by necessity - since the 2 1/2 hour trip wouldn't benefit us to fly - we still tend to stay entirely in the bubble when onsite. If anything, all of these upcharges start making Disney feel less "all-inclusive" for us and have us considering branching out with more trips to Seaworld, Busch Gardens, Universal, etc.
