The private Minnie Van private car service will be returning to Walt Disney World on June 29, 2022, according to Disney.
Minnie Van Service provides service to and from select locations within Walt Disney World Resort, including any hotel in the Disney Resorts Collection. At this point, service to and from the airport will not be available when the service restarts.
The Minnie Van Service is Disney’s answer to ride sharing and is utilized by using the Lyft App and selecting Minnie Van vehicle. The vehicles are themed with a style inspired by Minnie Mouse. Each vehicle accommodates up to six guests and are driven by Disney Cast Members Each vehicle is equipped with two child safety seats that Disney Cast Members can install for you. Lyft will also provide a fare estimate once you select a destination, so you know what to expect. Your payment is processed directly through the app.
The service operates from 6:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. daily. Prices will vary based on distance traveled from pick-up location to requested destination within Disney World.
