DD just booked Gear Fusion for November and says that WDWTT works as well.

Guaranteed nice vehicle, meets you at baggage claim to help with luggage, can schedule ahead (I know you can w/Uber but we've had issues with that in the past). Just an overall more "luxurious" experience. Oh and a grocery stop if you request one.

But, it's more expensive. Although even w/out a discount GearFusion is $90 one way which is not bad at all.

When I travel with my crew of 4 adults with large suitcases it’s the guaranteed SUV and the good odds of a safe driver. We tried rideshares but too many times ordering an XL and getting something technically qualifying but so small we ended up with carry-ons in our laps sealed that deal.

However, when we hop between UOR and WDW now we just use 2 normal rideshares as it’s a short trip and not worth the extra expense.

It is like a Minnie van minus the stickers. Very nice and clean cars, private driver, can stop at grocery stores, can request car seats (extra expense), and the times I used they were on time and the drivers were polite and courteous.

It’s simple for me. To quote one of my favorite movies, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, “if you have the means, I would highly recommend it”.
I have used Minnie Vans numerous times since Magical Express went away. Always on time, communications is great and you can set your own departure time from the resort to the airport.

Just pointing out $90 is their base price. If you have a bigger family and more luggage it will cost more.

This is correct—booked for our trip in 2 weeks and we have 5 with a lot of luggage. I think we’re paying $120.

As for Minnie Van service from MCO, would definitely book the accessible MV when the day come my mom has her own ECV.

I think you can still cancel and then rebook with the code @CarolynFH posted to save a bit.

I used one of the codes lost d here when I booked for 10% off. Not sure why it was more other than we do have 7 pieces of luggage plus backpacks Haven’t decided if I’ll book back to MCO since it’ll be just 2 of us in the morning at back.

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.

And it was a flat rate of $20 to/from the parks or anywhere on property. That was short lived! lol

This was just in April of 2025. They did not meet me at baggage claim.

Same for us. We used them Sept 2024 and they did not meet us a baggage claim. The driver texted us when we landed and hadn't even made us to the gate. He asked us to meet him (after we retrieved our luggage) at the Starbucks in the airport. I just assumed it was hit or miss as to whether they would meet you at baggage claim. That said, we would 100% use them again.

If that happens with us in October, I'm asking driver to grab me a drink at Starbucks and I'll pay him back.

I see Gear Fusion has a drop down yes or no box for meet n greet.

Oh I didn't see that! I'm assuming ours defaulted to "no" then.

Is it something we should change and have them meet us at baggage claim? Or is it just as easy to find them wherever they park? We don't really need help with luggage.

Personal decision.

 

[japanese maple]

For those who know, If driver doesn't meet you at luggage claim - where do you usually meet the driver?

 

[Pinnochio]

DH found the article and confirmed the $199 each way.

I flew from Connecticut cheaper than that....ouch!

I would’ve been happy to meet them at Starbucks. . But we were told to just go outside

with gearfusion, the driver should text you the day before or the day of arrival with instructions where to meet. I don't remember checking any boxes, the driver texted me the day of arrival with all instructions.
