[mumsy1955]

Staying at AKL ,having meal ( 5 of us) in Jiko after wedding at S&D . Meal is at 6pm ,we have yacht booked for 9 pm from GF. How busy are the Minnie band around that time ,assuming we should probably be having to leave Jiko about an hour before. Going beginning of November

Unfortunately the answer is still the same as in your other threads about Minnie Vans.

While you will probably be OK, it’s impossible to predict. You might have tons of them with no passengers, you might have none available.

Minnie Vans are quite unpredictable, IMHO. We used them quite extensively in December and we had such a varied experience from waiting only a few minutes to waiting 30 minutes to not being able to get one at all. For us, it's more of a pleasant surprise if we can get one. If not, we did lyft. Since this is for a special occasion, perhaps consider booking a limo or sedan to take you from AKL to GF so you can be assured of having a nice car waiting for you exactly when you need it. We've used Park Avenue Limo for years and they are wonderful, friendly people with a beautiful fleet. It's certainly not the cheapest option, but it would give you peace of mind to get to GF in time. http://www.parkavenuelimousines.com/index.html

While the Minnie van may not be readily available, there should be plenty of lyft or uber out and about. If it is a special occasion then booking prearranged transport may be better option. We have used Tiffany towncar when we did our Disney cruise and they were great!

Asking variations of the same question multiple times on different sub-forums just yields the same answer. OP has been given this same advice multiple times in multiple different threads.

Yes really. Minnie Vans aren't like trains that run on set schedules. They are not predictable and there is much variability based on demand at any given time so the OP needs to understand that so as not to be disappointed. Anyone who tries to predict what will happen on a given date and time will most likely be wrong so anyone relying on this form of transportation, as great and convenient as it can be, needs to understand this.

Last year we waited for a taxi at POR for longer than I liked. Did not miss our ADR but was sweating it. I'm guessing Minnie Vans are not much different.

We used Minnie Vans several times during our trip in late July. Some of the times, the van was there within 5 minutes of requesting it and then one of the times we waited 20 minutes before one arrived. One of our drivers did say around park closing times they do get more difficult to get sometimes depending on how busy they are. I would take that into consideration. We relied on them primarily to get to dinner reservations so we didn't have to buffer a ton of time to get to dinner. Gave us more time to let the kids take afternoon naps, swim and shower/relax later in the day.
