Minnie Vans ramping for a comeback?

[quoo]

They're back! https://www.wdwinfo.com/news-stories/disney-officially-confirms-return-of-minnie-vans/

So excited. We took them so much last trip.

I don't see any prices yet so I wonder how much this will be.

Although I am not one who would want to use them, I'm glad they are back for others. It only makes sense that they are back, since they were stopped because of the reaction to the virus.

I'm not sure the fact that they used the vehicles to queue up the marathon areas means a thing about their return.

It showed that they didn't sell them like the rental car agencies sold their cars. I saw them at the Princess Half Marathon as well, and was glad to see them.

About 7 Mickey Bars each way.

Start the loan application now, just to be safe

I feel this explains the abrupt cancellation of Disney offering private transportation add ons to packages? Maybe?

[Drewsdad]

Yes, very Happy for this to return..

Glad to hear these are coming back. Does anyone know if they make stops on the way to the resorts?

 

[ChipTheRescueRanger]

I assume if I want to take one form the Airport to resort I need to remortgage my house ?

As I believe they costs around $150 before shut down so will likely be crazy expensive compared to say an Uber Black

Oh geez! Forget that then. Way too much.

No. They don’t want to incentivize you buying stuff offsite.

Well that's another reason I may not use it then along with what someone else said the price may be.

 

[SL6827]

They were expensive before, can't imagine what thier price will be now.

Disney cleans house, end of road for many experienced Minnie Van drivers

This is from Blog Mickey. It almost feels like they’re being trolled… This would be an idiotic move by Disney (unless they’re not going to hire CMs as drivers).

 

[han22735]

I agree it sounds weird but blog mickey usually has a the inside scope and only posts when they get reliable info.

 

[Mrs.AMC]

Won't van drivers still require some specific job requirements, like I'd assume a CDL of some sort? So they can't get too picky. Or they will leave themselves no choice but outsourcing, no?

 

[lions1995]

Certainly would love to see them return.

For people who didn't use the service, the "van" part of the name was because of the pun. Minivan. Minnie (Mouse) Van. Get it?

Most of the vehicles were SUVs, not actual vans.

But I don't know what the job requirements are.

And what PP said is true; in the past people have intentionally made things up just to see if bloggers would pass along the incorrect information. I'm not saying that happened in this particular case or to this particular blogger, just saying that you don't know for sure that information is accurate until it is released by Disney itself.
