Hiya Kathleen,
Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your
Minnie Van question. Minnie Vans are such a fun way to get around, and honestly, one of my favorite transportation options. You get to ride in style, and every trip feels a little extra magical since the drivers are Cast Members. We have had some of the best conversations in Minnie Vans. On our last ride, our driver was sharing stories about celebrities he had driven around, and it made the trip feel like part of the Disney experience itself.
Let’s get right to your question. You can absolutely take a Minnie Van from
Animal Kingdom to
Magic Kingdom. Minnie Vans are powered by Lyft, so all you need to do is open the app and request a ride just like you would anywhere else. In my experience, the cost of a Minnie Van between Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom can range from $50 to $70, but it can vary depending on the time of day and demand. The best way to know the exact price is to pop it into the app when you are ready to go. One of the biggest perks is that the
Minnie Van drops you right at the front gate of Magic Kingdom, which is especially nice if you are heading to a dining reservation or want to maximize your park time.
You also have the option of using Disney’s complimentary
bus transportation from Animal Kingdom to Magic Kingdom. This is a great choice if you are not in a rush, but I recommend giving yourself plenty of extra time. The ride, especially if you have dining or other plans.
While you are at Animal Kingdom, make sure you take some time to enjoy
Festival of the Lion King. It is one of our family’s must-do shows. Between the acrobatic monkeys, the fire performance during Be Prepared, and the incredible vocals throughout, it is a fun, high-energy show that really captures the spirit of the park.
Kathleen, I hope this helps answer your questions. If anything else comes up while you are planning, feel free to stop by again.
See you real soon,
Christina
