Room in back of Minnie Van for wheelchair

[lovewdwfun]

We are a family of 6 with a son who will be using a foldable pediatric wheelchair in the parks.

Last year, we took an Uber XL and it was great - the first time, when we got a van and could put our double stroller in the back. The second time, an SUV with almost no storage room in the back came to get us. There wasn’t room for the stroller.

Can anyone tell me how much room Minnie Vans have in the trunk? Will there be space for a wheelchair to fold up?

Also, is there any trick to getting a van for Lyft/Uber/Mears easily to take us too and from the parks which will be able to hold 6+ a wheelchair in the back?

Minnie Vans have an accessible version - that will be your best bet. In the regular Minnie Vans, unless you are using the car seats those take up most of the cargo space.

There isn’t a way to order a minivan specifically with rideshares.

MVs are Suburbans and the back is taken by 2 car seats, if those aren’t used by your party they take up the trunk space.

Accessible MVs have seats for 5 so the wc user would have to stay in the wc for transport on the van. You cannot always get one, it’s not unusual to have a long wait or even be told sorry none available.

If you don’t want to take the bus your best bet might be renting your own minivan. Cheaper than it used to be since parking at Disney is now free for Disney Resort guests.

Seats for 5, max capacity 7 guests if two stay in their mobility devices. Only 1 car seat available though. Link.

The Lyft app shows the capacity as being 4

Well that’s unfortunate. Now I wish I’d snapped a pick of the current interior last fall. We were a party of 4 so I never paid attention.

I have not used them, but I believe there are 2 sizes of accessible Minnie Vans.

You may be right BUT I don't see how you can request the larger one on the app
