Hello Janice! Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
After the
D23 Expo 2017 this year, I had to regroup and gather my senses after the countless exciting additions coming to Walt Disney World Resort in the next few years. I was more than thrilled when I found out that the
"Minnie" Van point-to-point Transportation Service would be starting at a few select Resort Hotels as early as this month.
Starting at
Disney's Boardwalk Resort and
Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resorts(with more Resort Hotels to be included in the future), Guests are able to use their smartphones to arrange one-way transportation to any location on Walt Disney World Resort property.
After speaking with a Guest who has gone through a "soft opening"(trial run) of the Minnie Van Transportation Service, you book the transportation a couple of hours in advance on your smartphone for transportation that same day.
As it stands, I would check with Guest Services at my Resort Hotel upon Check-In to verify if the service is available and book my trip as soon as I was available as I am sure the Minnie Van Transportation Service will be extremely popular.
If there is still some time before your Walt Disney World Resort vacation, I recommend that you check the
Disney Parks Blog as they release more information on how to use the service and the Resort Hotels that will be included.
Happy Travels!
