Depends on the driver and ride, but I usually tip about 20-25% on average. So I think my DW Uber trips were only in the $1-$2 range since they were only $6-$7 rides.

I have used, Uber, Minnie Vans (using Lyft Technology), and regular Lyft vehicles. I have never had any issues. Minnie Vans seem to be able to drop you off at better places for the parks though....For a premium, of course. lol

We used Lyft (regular Lyft, not Minnie vans) 3 different times this week. It's great. Our rides were 8-10 bucks depending on destination. We felt our time and money were worth using Lyft. It took an hour and half by bus to commute from Boardwalk to Blizzard Beach. We were at the bus stop at 9:03 and arrived at BB at 10:30. It made for a long morning getting to the waterparks. We also used it from Beach Club to Poly for breakfast one morning. It was worth letting the kids sleep at least another hour before going to breakfast. To us time is money, but your mileage may vary. All in all, Lyft was great.
Yep, just don’t use Magic Kingdom as your location. Use TTC, leaned the hard way. It was my Uber drivers first fare and he was hearing impaired. Disney Security got involved and I had to explain because between the language barrier, first fare and hearing impairment it was a MESS
The next rides were perfect
Better yet, use the Contemporary as your location/destination for MK. That's what I did. No problems at all. And it appears that many Uber drivers around WDW are current/former CMs.

At the parks - it will be near where the taxis are. So TTC for MK, and in the parking lots for DS and the parks. Pickup and drop-offs will be same place.
At the hotels - they will take you door to door

How does it work in the evening after fireworks? For example at MK, would I have to take a monorail to TTC before requesting Uber to my resort?
As I previously stated, walk over to the Contemporary and get an Uber from there.
What’s the distance from mk to contemporary

It's about a 10-minute walk. Super close. Maybe 1/3 of a mile?

Usually a couple bucks a ride. Except one ride - the same guy that picked us up 3 weeks prior also came to get us from Uni, took us to Costco, Walmart, and to our DW resort. This guy was everywhere! These were all on different days. He was our driver like 40% of our rides - so nice, gave us tips about Orlando, played Disney music for us, loaded and unloaded everything. He ended up picking us up to take us to the airport at the end of our trip (xmas eve), we couldn't believe it. My son put in a $10 tip into the app, and I handed him a $20 and said , "Merry Christmas!". He felt like an old friend by then.

We've switched over to uber/lyft and minivan whenever possible. Especially at park close. Why deal with the masses when you can have a car service get you where you need to go?

I was planning on getting a rental car. Now, I'm thinking that maybe I could utilize Uber instead.

I guess it depends on whether you enjoy driving or not. The cost of parking at your resort (on site) per night plus the cost of the rental might be close to what you are spending on Uber rides. I enjoy not having to drive, or walking to and from a parking lot looking for my car, or getting into a hot car, etc. Even if the cost is higher, it's worth it to me for convenience.
