Will the Minnie Vans pick up/drop off at WBC/V?
There have been multiple reports in this thread that they do.Will the Minnie Vans pick up/drop off at WBC/V?
I haven’t ridden the shuttle myself but it appears it would use the west side bus depot. The east side/marketplace space that was the former location of the bus depot is now rideshare pick up/drop off. I didn’t see any buses over there.If anyone has used the shuttle from WBV to Disney Springs, do you have a choice of being dropped off at West or East end of DS?
Yes they refrigerate and hold the grocery items.Thank you! One more question, I forgot to include it in my first post. If we have food delivered, from Walmart or Prime Now, and it is delivered prior to our arrival (between 7-8pm). Will they hold it and refrigerate items like Disney’s bell services does?

Just to add something about room requests, actual owners are technically allowed to request rooms/areas. Others are not supposed to be able to. Sometimes they honor requests but not usually ahead of time. We've stayed in towers 2, 3 and 6. We love 3 the best because parking is easier and it seems quieter. Tower 6 is probably the most requested but is also the busiest. We no longer request (even though we're owners) because all the towers are pretty good!
yes but they pretty much ignore it and have said time and again they don't take requests from non owners. Basically it's luck of the draw with renters.Yes they will
For years the resort has been plagued with people calling ahead requesting a "fireworks view."
We drive down this Friday. If no one posts it by then, I'll snap a picture and post it for you.We leave in 10 short days. So very excited. Can someone psot the October Activities list.
Thank you
Thanks for the great info! We considered hiring a car, however parking costs and driving on the wrong side of the road led us to Uber.
We can't wait for this trip. It's our honeymoon actually.
You can also use uber or lyft to be dropped off at a nearby resort (such as the Contemporary for Magic Kingdom) for 1/3 of the price of a Minnie Van. Right now from WBC a standard lyft would be $13.40 to the Contemporary. A Minnie Van from WBC to Magic Kingdom is $40.06. It’s a few minutes walk from the Contemporary over to the Magic Kingdom, no monorail or boat required.Congratulations!!!!! I would add though that if you have an early morning ADR in one of the parks - please, please Minnie Van it. The Minnie Vans (through the Lyft app) are the only cars that can get you as close as the Disney Buses are allowed to get. Most Ubers or other car shares can take you to Ticket & Transportation, but not the actual park entrances. We made that mistake one morning trying to get to CRT for an early breakfast and got there 30 min late. Uber dropped us at the TTC and we took the ferry over (monorail lines were much worse). Luckily the hostess took pity on us and still was able to let us have our meal. A Minnie Van would have been probably twice the price of an economy size carshare, but it would have been INVALUABLE in saving us that stress!
We haven't been since SWGE, but for FoP, we've been able to ride both by snagging FPs and by rope-dropping. We've even snagged same-day fastpasses for it twice now, once during spring break. So being diligent in refreshing the app has paid off for us. We also sometimes book our arrival night at a Disney value resort and book any hard to get fastpasses on that first day using the 60 day window.We are usually onsite vacationers but stayed once in a WBC 4 bed presidential unit (before the days of 60 day vs 30 FP+ in MDE). We are once again looking to stay next April at WBC. I am wondering, for those who have recently stayed at WBC, if you had any trouble booking FP+ for attractions in Star Wars Land and/or Pandora, etc. Did everyone get to ride the newest attractions even with only reserving FPs 30 days out? Thank you!
