Minnie Van, Uber or Taxi

[dadschum]

Planning for a future trip (June 2019) for 4 adult ladies. Might stay on property or might stay at Wyndham Bonnet Creek, not sure yet.

Assuming by then the Minnie Vans are available property wide (though I know not at WBC), why would I use that over a taxi or uber? However, would I be able to use the Minnie Van to get from an on property location back to WBC? Or I certainly could use it to go from one property location to another (ex MK to WL for dinner).

If we stay on property all 3 options are possible to get around WDW.

If we stay at WBC we would either use their shuttle to get to the parks or taxi or uber. Then we could use any of the 3 options to get around WDW property from parks to other resorts for dining etc. Could we use the Minnie Van to get back to WBC from an on property location?

So in terms of cost for 4 people (average cost for a taxi/uber ride around property), time and convenience (pick up/drop off spot at parks) and any other factors what are the advantage/disadvantages of each? Trying to plan and budget.

Thanks.

Minnie Vans can drop directly at MK. They also have car seats and some people feel more comfortable with a cast member driving instead of a regular Uber/Lyft driver.

Pretty sure Wyndham Bonnet Creek is not considered on property, so no Minnie Van service to/from there.

Also, you can calculate Uber/Lyft/taxi prices here: https://ride.guru/

Minnie Van is a flat rate from what I understand. Uber/Lyft is typically cheaper than a taxi. I just paid about $9 one way from Contemporary to EPCOT last weekend. Minnie Van not available at this resort yet.

Shuttle at WBC does not run that frequently and you pay per person, per day. Uber/Lyft would be cheaper.
