Minnie Van - Poly to AK for RD

[MickeyWaffles]

How is Minnie Van availability in the morning before rope drop these days? Will be going from Poly to AK.

Just hoping to get there around rope drop time. Not super early. We need 2 car seats so I think Minnie Van is our best non-bus option. Is it tough to get a MV for rope drop?

If you need two car seats, you have two options:

• Minnie Van
• Bring your own car seats

Sorry, can't help you with availability -- but when you open your Lyft app, it should show you an estimated pickup time for MV.

Availability can really vary, in my experience, especially now with the service getting more and more popular. I’ve had short waits, and I’ve had the app not being able to find an available driver.

On 1/1, I was at Poly and looked on the app for a Minnie Vam around 8am. There were none anywhere in sight on the map.

I saw one pulling up and quickly requested one in the app. As soon as the driver dropped off her passengers and triggered whatever they do to indicate they’re “available” - it immediately poped up on my app saying the ride had arrived.

Anyway, somewhat random story. I guess the point being - you should be ok, but it’s hard to predict so you may want to have Plan B in mind in case availability doesn’t work in your favor.

One tip, eyeball the app before you leave your room and go ahead and request one if they are several minutes away.

Hope that helps. Good luck!

We tried to get one for an AK rope drop from BLT a few weeks ago. None we available. We walked over to the bus stop while we kept checking. They were running a good number of buses so we took it instead. We're usually not big fans of buses, but since it was rope drop, the bus was not shared with any other resort so we went straight there in not much time.
