    I want to order a Minnie van for our ride from contemporary to Epcot. ADR for 8:30 at Akershus, Would a 7:30 pickup be ok? Also I’ve never done any thing like ride sharing before, when do I book it? The night before? Please help this old girl out!

    Welcome back to planDisney, Tara! It's almost time for your magical vacation, and it looks like you've got plans to start your day with some of the most royal company at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall! My teenage daughters still talk about the memories we have made here over the years, sharing stories, hugs, and laughter with all of their favorite princesses!

    Tara, the Minnie Van Service powered by Lyft is such a convenient way to travel around the Walt Disney World Resort, especially for an early morning dining reservation! A 7:30 AM pickup time will give you enough time to arrive at EPCOT and make your way to the Norway pavilion for your meal with no stress or extra worries!

    To utilize the Minnie Van Service, you'll want to make sure you have downloaded the Lyft mobile app and set up your account and payment method in advance to make the process quick and easy on the day of! While you cannot request your ride the night before, you'll want to open the app the morning of your reservation, confirm your pickup location, and select "Minnie Van". Usually, a ride will be just a few minutes away, but once your ride is confirmed, you'll be given an estimated pickup time and location at your resort to meet your driver. Before you know it, you'll be on your way to a magical day!

    One of the best things about the Minnie Van Service is that the drivers are Cast Members, so they are able to access locations quickly and easily, making your ride even more magical! You'll be at your destination before you can say bibbidi bobbidi boo!

    Tara, I hope this helps! If you have any other vacation planning questions, we'll be here to help at planDisney! Come see us again real soon!

    Magic Awaits,
