Hi Linda! Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question!
Is there anything better than getting a
ride to the parks in a Minnie Van! I've used this service on numerous occasions since its debut and each time ends up being more special than the last. It's extremely convenient if you have little ones since they come equipped with car seats. The Cast Members are always extremely personable and knowledgeable. It's almost as if you receive a personal tour guide on your way to your destination.
Since the Minnie Van service operates on the Lyft app, you cannot use
Disney Gift Cards to pay for your ride. You'll need to link a credit or debit card through the app to use for payment. While this may not be convenient, it does allow you to use your Disney Gift Card for additional purchases around the parks and resorts. Most dining and merchandise locations accept Disney Gift Cards as a form of payment!
One of the best perks of using the Minnie Van service is the drop-off locations that they offer. If you are visiting the Magic Kingdom and are using a regular ride-share service, you'll be dropped off at the Ticket and Transportation Center. You'll then need to use
Disney Transportation to get to the entrance of the Magic Kingdom. Minnie Vans will drop you off directly in front of the Magic Kingdom, specifically where the buses let you out when traveling from a Disney Resorts Hotel.
Let's not forget to mention how awesome it is to pull up to your destination in style! Minnie Vans are playfully themed and offer Guests a unique ride experience. You will feel like the ultimate VIP when arriving at the parks!
Linda, I hope you have a fantastic time during your visit! Your arrival day will be here before you know it!
See ya real soon!
