Minnie Van info?

Hi. What are Minnie Vans? Is there a thread with info?

Minnie Vans are on-demand vehicles that are owned and operated by Disney. They use the Lyft mobile app to arrange and pay for the ride.

Will they go off property to drop off? What about pick up? Is the cost the same as a taxi or Lyft pricing? Are they actual vans? There are 5 of us...

Pricing is $15, plus $2.75 per mile, plus tip. Most of them are Chevy Traverses, with room for 6 people (7, including the driver).

FWIW, there are a fair number of Chevy Suburbans in circulation these days as well. A few drivers have told me the original line of Traverses are slowly being rotated out in favor of larger vehicles and also due to age/mileage.

As far as I know, other than to/from MCO, they will not go off property.
As mentioned earlier, they are either Chevy Traverses or Suburbans. 5 may be a little tight in a Traverse.

I’m hoping to try them out in June.

Uber and Lyft are less expensive than Minnie Vans. Minnie Vans are great if you have up to 2 children who are car seat age. Uber does have a few vehicles in the area with one car seat. You can’t necessarily always get one but they do go off property. One draw for Minnie Vans is that they can go to the Magic Kingdom where a Lyft or Uber will only take you to the TTC. They can also go within Ft Wilderness if you’re trying to get to HDDR versus a Lyft or Uber that will just get you to Ft. Wilderness.
