According to Disney parks blog. Wonder if they will be doing airport transfers again. The blog lacks details

Couldn't be more excited! I miss the Minnie Vans

Since we're still in car seat land, this is so nice to have back!

They are so cute to see driving around. Used them a couple of times and really enjoyed it. The drivers always have such interesting stories

The drivers were CMs as I recall at least in 2017 - It made it that much more fun - those drivers were so into their jobs too.

I 'll wait to see prices before getting excited.

Pre-covid, they were definitely not the normal Lyft prices though you booked them through the Lyft app. I think they were about double. However they were quick to arrive and really cute - and the drivers knew where they were going!

Lyft with a car seat is expensive, and you can't get a Lyft with two car seats at any price. So for a family with two littles, these are a great option (in theory).

That said, I've only attempted them twice and had a miserable experience both times. Waits were over an hour to get picked up at DAKL.

We used them years ago during the one price for everywhere time . It was great. Went from BCV to waterpark without doing the bus run around. But for 3-4 times what we paid then......hmmm the buses might not be so bad.

I do have to agree on the wait times, they did get to be a bit onerous because I don't believe they were staffed to the demand. But, what I did like is that they got to drop off by the busses at MK and get closer to the park entrances in general - at least back then.

SO excited to see them back! we've used them before when I was mobile and they were amazing! QUESTION: does any one know if they have accessable vans? I am using a ECV/SCOOTER now and would love to use a Minnie van but not sure if they can handle it....Any ideas how I would find out? Thanks ahead of time every one!

Thank you for the really fast reply! I just discovered the information on the LYFT app the same time you replied!

In an age of inflation and record-level gas prices, expect this service to be extremely expensive..

Lyft and Uber already surge price and surcharge fuel on to the ride as it is - so I don't expect the Minnie Vans to be subsidized.
