Minnie Van ?

[LMO429]

Does the 20 dollars include tip?

Does the fee go on your magic band or would that go directly thru the lift app?

Is the four seasons resort considered on property?

How long are the waits for minnie vans will they come quickly or would the wait be long?

$20 includes the tip.

Don't know exactly how payment is processed, but can't see the Lyft app accepting MBs.

Probably not on Four Seasons, speculation is anywhere the buses go.

It just started, possibly still from limited resorts. You would have to wait for actual experience or see the many existing threads on the topic.

Actually, there is NO tip. The drivers are salaried Disney employees and are not allowed to accept tips.

1. Does the 20 dollars include tip?

3. Is the four seasons resort considered on property?

4. How long are the waits for minnie vans will they come quickly or would the wait be long?

1. No, $20 is just the total, no tip needed
2. No, it's processed with the Lyft app
3. Not likely. Think of it as a type of Disney bus. Minnie Vans are Disney vehicles just like Disney buses. They go where buses go
4. No one knows yet. It's still testing

The official rule is salaried Disney employees are to refuse any offered tip 3 times. After the 3rd offer then can accept the tip and it's supposed to go in to some sort of pool. Or something like that. I know the 3 times and accept after a 3rd offer but from that my memory is fuzzy.

We are doing a split stay and would love to use the Minnie Van Service to move from one resort to another. Has there been any confirmation that anyone has done this? We will have about a total of 7 pieces of luggage with us. We are a total of 3 (2 adults and 1 toddler). We plan on skipping the parks on the day of the move. I know we can have bell services just move our luggage for us but we would prefer to have our bags with us.

They are hourly CM's in a non tipping position. You are right about the 3x refusal. Then you are supposed to turn it in to your manager. Most managers didn't do anything about the tips if you told them about it. I personally know of one CM who was offered a very large tip from a guest who lost their wallet with all their cash and credit cards in it. The manager was instrumental in getting the driver together with the guest. When the CM tried to turn in the tip, his manager said, I don't see that and neither did you.

Disney doesn't want CM's to offend guests, so if the guest is that insistent, we were to accept it and follow company procedures.

If the Minnie Vans are following the bus criteria, I would highly doubt they're going to be allowing you to move your luggage.

Question I have is... Are the MV's going to be using the bus lanes? Or do they have to stick to the regular roads. I know at the toll booths the buses have their own lane, will the MV's use this too? Or will they have their own lane?

We are staying at a VR in October and need to get to the convention centre and back. If the Minnie Vans are not available for that, then uber?

The Minnie Vans are for WDW onsite locations only so you would not be able it to the convention center.

We used Minnie Vans constantly during our recent stay and loved them. (During the soft opening). Staff were great and they got you right up to the front gate. Drivers are not allowed to accept tips.

I think they use bus lanes. I might be wrong. At least, they were a lot faster than taxis and they parked in the bus bay at Magic Kingdom.

We took a Minnie Van from Beach Club to Polynesian. The van was pretty large. But, I don't know about luggage rules.
