We have a minivan reserved for ouupcoming trip (March 5 - yeah!! ). Even with all the discounts, coupons, etc. it's still pretty pricey.
Has anyone every arrived really late (we arrive 11 pm), and if so, have you seen any minivans on the EA then? There are 5 of us with 3 teens, so I'm trying to figure out whether to chance EA or stick with our minivan ressie.

If you really need a minivan, keep your reservation (Emerald Choice?). If you're willing to take a chance that you'll have to settle for an intermediate but could manage with a "full size", the EA might work. Since you're arriving very late on a Friday night, I think you'd have to be pretty lucky to find a minivan left on the EA. We arrived about as late as you will for our visit during the first week of January this year. There were a good number of full size cars and a couple of small SUVs, but no minivans that I noticed. This was on Monday, Jan. 5. I suspect it's worse on Friday with more people arriving for the weekend.

I have yet to see a minivan on the EA. I have arrived at all times during the day and night. Usually it is intermediates, full size, some SUV's and once in a while a specialty car like a PT Cruiser.

I have also never seen a minivan on EA, but I have always been able to get a full-size.
