Hi Sandra! Thank you so much for spending so much time with us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel! There are not enough ways for us to tell you how much we appreciate your questions!
I was just chatting with friends who are headed to Walt Disney World Resort next week. They plan to use the Minnie Van Service throughout their vacation and are very excited to take their whimsical rides!
The Minnie Van Service is a fleet of adorable "Minnie Vans" driven by friendly Disney Cast Members.
Currently, the Minnie Van Service picks up from each of the
Walt Disney World Deluxe Resort Hotels as well as
Disney's Old Key West Resort and
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa.
The Minnie Van Service works with the Lyft app. A Cast Member at the Front Desk of
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge can assist you and once activated, you can open your Lyft app from anywhere in Walt Disney World Resort to request the service. With the Lyft app, you will not only request your ride from your smartphone, you will also pay through the app.
The Minnie Vans typically arrive in just a few short minutes but your wait may be longer during peak times. Be sure to plan accordingly, especially when you are on a schedule due to a reservation.
Enjoy your time at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge! It's one of my favorite Resort hotels. The pools are amazing, the dining is wonderful and the views are spectacular! For me, Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge provides me with a vacation within a vacation. True Disney Magic!
