MINNIE VAN RATE

[DeeCee735]

Good morning.

I'm wondering if there's a rate list for using Minnie Vans around resort to resort (not resort to parks, we'll use the buses for that)?
We have an upcoming trip and two babies and are trying to work out our transportation arrangements.

Thanks for any info you can provide!

You can do this yourself. Download the Lyft app, launch it. Change the pickup location to any resort then set the destination to any resort, hit confirm pickup and it will give you options, Economy/Luxury/Extra Seats/More, click on More and you will see the Minnie Van rate.

You don't need the exact address but you will want to use the resort name, I checked Port Orleans French Quarter to Wilderness Lodge cost was $29.99. By comparison, I can take a standard Lyft for $7.78, but you won't have the car seat options.

Current Minnie Van pricing is a $17 base rate plus $3.15 per mile.

Agree with @SteveH, very easy to plug in departure and destination points in Lyft to check the cost. Minnie Vans do not have surge or variable pricing, so what you see now will be the cost when there.

It was $25 last summer. Did it go down?

ETA : N/M I see where I was confused.

It used to be $25 flat rate, was increased to $15 base plus $2.75 per mile and is currently $17 base plus $3.15 per mile...plus tip.

Airport pick up/drop offs are $150 each way. Prices for Minnie Vans are ridiculous.

Yeah we got to ride for $15 when it started thanks to a Lyft promo. Then it was $50 last summer on July 4th. That’s the only time I’d say it was worth it. Lol!!

I was so disappointed to learn the prices, was thinking of staying offsite and using this to and from the airport and saw the price and was like heck no! I ended up booking on site and and just going to go with magic express.

We used Tony Hinds car service and it was half the price. Stellar service.

I was afraid to click confirm ride. Isn't there a charge to cancel it? I'm not in Disney at this time.

It was only worth it to me as a treat for my Mom and her grandchildren and my two sisters and I split the cost three ways. I didn't even get to ride in one!

The price comes up before you need to confirm anything. It shows what the total trip cost will be when you choose Minnie Van.

That is from AKL to CR, via Minnie Van.

And here's AKL to CR via Uber. The equivalent Uber to MV would be XL, but it would not have child seats. There is a child seat option for $8 more, but it would only have one child seat.

If you have 4 or less, you could take X, although I personally would take Comfort.

Yep that’s about what it was before tip from the MK to AKL. It’s nice that they don’t surge.

If you are on the Lyft app, there is no cancellation fee unless the driver actually comes to the pickup point and you are not there. With Uber, there is a cancellation fee if you cancel after 2 minutes, or if you are not there.

actually, now that I look more closely at the prices, I would select either X or XL -- X if I had 4 or fewer, XL for more than 4. If Comfort were a couple of bucks more than X, I'd use comfort -- but not for $6 more.
