The Minnie Van service at Walt Disney World allows guests to utilize the Lyft app to be transported around the Walt Disney World Resort. Previously, guests at the club level of a Disney Resort Hotel could also utilize the service to be transported to Orlando International Airport (MCO). Starting today, guests at Deluxe Resort Hotels or Deluxe Villas will also be able to utilize the Minnie Van service to go to MCO as well.
The Deluxe Resort Hotels include the following:
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
- Disney’s Beach Club Resort
- Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
- Disney’s Contemporary Resort
- Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
- Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
- Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
- Disney’s Yacht Club Resort
The price for the trip to the airport from Walt Disney World Resort is $199 each way or $398 round-trip. Minnie Van airport services can be booked up to 60 days in advance of guests’ Walt Disney World Resort or as close as 2 days ahead of arrival. This service is not available via the app. Instead, guests must call (407) 828-3500.
Just like the regular Minnie Van Service, each Minnie Van can accommodate six guests. There are also accessible Minnie Vans available. These can accommodate seating for 5 people (with 1 complimentary car seat) along with 2 spaces for mobility devices. In total, the accessible Minnie Vans can carry 7 guests.
Minnie Van Service
Minnie Vans are comfortable and can accommodate up to 6 guests. Each vehicle is styled after Minnie Mouse and is themed to create a fun transportation experience. Each Minnie Van is driven by a friendly Disney Cast Member who will drive guests with a smile. Each vehicle is also equipped with 2 child safety seats that can be installed by the Disney Cast Member. Lyft will provide a fare estimate when a destination is selected to allow guests to know what to expect. The payment for the Minnie Van will be processed directly through the app.
