It looks to me like the answer is YES...but NO.

The route they are sending you on is clearly 4+ miles longer,
That's the shortest route available. They have to go around the back side of the park in order to drop you off at the gateAnyone know why Lyft’s Minnie Van route is so far out of the way for MK?
It has been like this no matter what resort I try to book it from It seems like this would cause a pretty sizable overcharge.View attachment 473201
I’ve used Minnie Vans many times and have never been driven around the backside of MK. We always drive next to Contemporary and make a left.That's the shortest route available. They have to go around the back side of the park in order to drop you off at the gate
I don't think anyone would do that with a Minnie VanSome people have had better luck putting the Contemporary as their drop off/pick up spot, then walking form there.
Why would you do that when taking a Minnie Van? The significant advantage they have is they can go to the bus stops. That's WAY shorter walk.Some people have had better luck putting the Contemporary as their drop off/pick up spot, then walking form there.
I'm trying to figure out what difference it makes. That's not the way it was charged. It's not the way you were driven. What does it matter what the route on Lyft shows?My real question is....why can I not get them to go straight down World Drive and turn left into the Bus Station as a price quote? This is the way they take me when they deliver me.
These routes have us going ALL the way past Poly, around GF ....BEGIND MK and hitting the bus stop from the backside. WHYYYY????
I should have asked when I went from Bonnet Creek to MK. Route shows the same....but when delivered, we went straight down Works Drive.

But the driver doesn't take the route that was shown. They don't drive around the back of MK. Lyft app always struggles with driving to MK because Lyft app doesn't easily acknowledge that Minnie Van drivers can go places others can't. So the route on the map is meaningless for Minnie Vans. They don't follow that route, they just drive to MK.Because the GPS route for the Contemporary pulls the more direct route, not around the back of MK. SInce that seemed to be what OP wanted -- to avoid being driven around behind MK. Maybe I misunderstood.
It's just a bug in Lyft's routing algorithm. It seems to think that there's no left turn from World Dr. into the MK bus loop. Maybe the confusion is because there's no left turn into CR at that intersection.Anyone know why Lyft’s Minnie Van route is so far out of the way for MK?

it matters as we are charged by the proposed route, at least in my experience. If there is a shorter more direct route, which they do take, I would like to be charged less (per mile) as the route should be navigated.I'm trying to figure out what difference it makes.

It’s moving but right now it’s the one right along the sidewalk, they drive straight in to the bus loop and parkWhere in the MK busloop do they drop you off?
