Disney Minnie Van service now from MCO to deluxe hotels guests (not just club level)

[DaviVascaino]

so basically we are getting a stickered SUV private transportation that costs 2 times more than the unstickered SUV private transportation???
That is a no go for me.

I'm pretty sure it's $90 one-way. I'm wondering if DVC villas count as 'Deluxe' locations.

Nope, Minnie Van is $199 each way, before tip.

Those who pay the premium for it are generally after ease of use, peace of mind the driver will be safe and competent, and as seamless a start to their Disney vacation as possible. Basically, they pay the premium for the Disney CM. Dollars and cents wise, no it does not math. But, premium offering wise it gets good reviews from those who use it.

My point is there is no difference between Minnie vans with premium private limousine services other than the price tag and the car with stickers. I have used both

The salient point is that there is no difference to YOU. Others, might feel differently.

The driver is a Disney CM, that makes a difference to some people.

Not to mention, the vehicle is clearly decorated. It’s not like regular Lyft where it could be ANY vehicle.

The only major difference I often see mentioned is that the MM as (2) Car seats provided. If you don't want or need the services of MV Airport transfers then you are not forced to use them. It is just yet another option.

I get it, I was just trying to find out if there is any other specific perk with Minnie vans. IMHO, for most people that don't need the car seats, I think Minnie van is too expensive for what it is, and I am someone who now stays at Disney deluxe resorts, pay for LL and ILL every pack day, etc

Does this strike anyone else as massively overpriced?

 

[Summer2018]

I can see myself doing the Minnie Van once upon arrival and taking different transportation back to the airport. We also fly first class. We don’t go to WDW often, so when we do, we enjoy the extras like staying at a deluxe resort, renting cabanas, etc.

@DaviVascaino has got your back

 

[GADisneyDad14]

Y'all are missing the best part - Minnie Van driver rumors are second only to bus driver rumors. ~30 minutes with a CM to find out all the tea...totally worth it.

Whether it’s $200 or $90 it’s still too much money for me to spend when Mears Connection cost less than $40.00 r/t

$40 r/t for a family and only goes to your resort?

 

[Dave006]

Sure as long as you are a family of one.

So there is precedent for a slow/not every resort roll out of things in the Minnie Van department.

Heck I remember when they first started the service period it was only deluxes and not even Swan/Dolphin.

Personally Tiffany is enough of a splurge for us but I can see why people would go for this.

Not really. Disney wouldn't be able to meet demand if the price is what most of us consider as "reasonable".

Look at the vehicle type. Drivers are Disney CMs. Disney is responsible to maintain the vehicles. Up to 2 car seats. Up to 2 ECVs

Mears charges around $160, I think car seats are extra. A poster said Happy is close to $200 with car seats.

Most of us would rather save the money. Minnie Van is a premium product with Disney premium pricing on top.

 

[Wendysofftoneverland]

While expensive, I would consider it. My husband hates driving in Orlando, and on some of our trips, we don't need a rental because we can take the bus or Disney transport everywhere. We need a car seat and a booster seat, plus I don't use Lyft or Uber because I don't really trust ride shares. Minnie Vans are Disney CMs, and it saves me the time of having to research which car service is better out of all the names I have seen mentioned. We were ok with the Mears bus, so we will probably stick with that, but I could see using this as a splurge.

Big difference imo. Can’t wait to pay extra for the stickers.
