I don't know if the OP is still reading this thread.
I'm looking for private shuttles from my hotel straight to the Magic Kingdom. No stops, regular schedules, either free or for a fee.
Is there a list of hotels that offer such services?
If I want to pay a $100+ bucks a day I want nicer accommodations than the Motel 6 rooms Disney offers. Shuttle service to the parks would be nice
I gave this some thought. Taking a taxi would be about the only way to accomplish your goals. Drop off at Contemporary for the MK. You indicated you'll pay a fee.
Offsite makes a lot of sense, particularly for a family of 5 or more.
Its not fair to compare Disney value resorts to a Motel 6. Motel 6 doesn't offer complimentary airport transfers. Motel 6 doesn't offer complimentary theme park transportation. Service runs every 20 minutes or so, starting 2 hours before park opening and ending after the last guest leaves the park. Motel 6 doesn't offer themed pools. Motel 6 doesn't have extensive food courts. Motel 6 doesn't offer refillable mugs. Doesn't have the distinctive "themeing" some kids love and some member of DIS hate. Doesn't offer EMH. My experience.. the level of service at POP far exceeded my expectations for a "value" hotel. The level of service I received at Disney deluxe hotels always fell short of what I'd expect from a hotel which thinks it's 4*.
Not ALL.
Some offsite shuttles drop off at Epcot, not TTC or MK. Vacation Village at Parkway is one, and I'm sure there are others.
Many offsite resorts also offer shuttles to Universal and/or Sea World.
Correct. My point is none of the offsite shuttles stop directly at the MK. I know some shuttles drop off at one location, EPCOT for example, and instructs guests to use Disney transportation to other parks. JMO but a a shuttle which drops off at EPCOT isn't really offering transportation to the MK.
Just saw Mousesaver's Preferred Resorts added a new one - "Sheraton Vistana Villages Resort Villas. The resort does offer FREE transportation to Walt Disney World, and transportation to Universal and SeaWorld for a small fee, but the times and dropoff points are not optimal."

Unless something has changed guests who book Vistana as a "hotel guest" are offered complimentary park transportation. Guests who are timeshare guests, directly or indirectly, have to pay for park shuttles. The mousesaver deal includes daily maid service. That suggests its a hotel type booking. You can generally cancel without a penalty 72 hours before your stay.
Looks like a great deal for a guest who wants the space of a condo but the cancellation penalties (and housekeeping services) of a hotel.
I doubt a list of hotels with his EXACT requirements exists. The OP wanted a list of hotels with shuttles (even underlined list), and this is the closest to a regularly updated list as exists. I expect that Mr Mannn will want to research a few of the options there to see which come closest to his requirement.
Perhaps Mr Noble should live up to his name.
You list has some value but it doesn't really answer the OPs question. Some of the shuttle stop at multiple resorts and have a very limited schedule. OP is looking for direct service, at a regular schedule.
Many "bad neighbor" hotels also offer shuttle service.
Your list is of value to others reading this thread but Brian is right. Your list doesn't specify which hotels meet the OPs criterias.
Consensus--Guests staying offsite are usually not happy with park shuttles. Guests are better served driving to the parks.
Some people can't rent a car and/or prefer not to drive. Disney resorts are the first choice, DTD hotels are a close second.
WBC guests might be able to economically use taxis to supplement shuttles.
A few number of offsite properties are near a Lynx bus stop. The cost, and service, is probably better many offsite shuttles. That's not the way I'd plan a vacation but it is workable.
