Stephanie, hello and welcome to
planDisney. Are you getting so excited about your upcoming
Walt Disney World vacation? It's in just a few short days! I hope the countdown is on. Visiting in August is so much fun, but it can be really hot. Be sure to stay hydrated while you are at the
Walt Disney World Theme Parks. Did you know that you can get a free cup of ice water at any quick service dining location or snack cart that serves fountain drinks? All you have to do is wait in line and then ask the Cast Member taking orders for a cup of water. The cups are small but they don't mind giving you a few to keep you hydrated and cool during your trip! I don't buy bottled water in the parks and do this instead, it saves so much money!
Stephanie, I think you'll be happy to know that if you are using the
Minnie Van Service at Magic Kingdom Park you'll be dropped off and/or picked up near the bus station. This is one advantage to using a Minnie Van at this particular park because any other rideshare service will be picked up at the Transportation & Ticket Center.
Minnie Vans work with the Lyft app. If you don't already have this downloaded, I recommend doing it before your vacation. To request a ride, you'll open the Lyft app and enter your destination. You'll then confirm your pickup location. Lyft will then give you a fare estimate. You'll then need to tap on "Select Minnie Van". If your default vehicle is not the Minnie Van you'll just need to swipe through the vehicle options until you see it. You'll be able to see the vehicle in route along with identifying vehicle numbers to easily identify your ride.
I hope this helps, Stephanie. If you have any other questions, please feel free to stop back by and
ask me. I'm here to help!
Have fun and enjoy!
Jackie H.
