We took a Minnie Van from Disney's HOllywood Studios over to EPCOT to catch our JW shuttle back to the hotel. I know financially, a regular Uber or Lyft would probably be the same price or so from HS to the JW but we wanted to try out the Minnie Van service and with our two kids in tow (one a toddler and the other an infant), we felt better about having Disney pick us up with two car seats, ready to go... and they did! The driver knew exactly how to position the car seats and got them all strapped in. I sat in the third row in the back and my wife sat 'shotgun' up front. The driver had been a cast member for a while and his story on why he started with Disney and the positions he worked was interesting. He dropped us off in the best spot for getting to our JW bus once we arrived at EPCOT. Next time, we are going to stay on Disney property for the ease of logistics with kids, though it was great to try out this service. Disney has knack for making even the mundane, like getting around once you are in the Resort a little less 'everyday' and a little more fun. Have a great trip! 🙂
Pros:
You can track the driver on a map to make sure you have everyone together for his arrival, you get to check out a new Chevy SUV, clean and friendly drivers with interesting Disney knowledge, car seats for the little ones, the continuity of staying within the Disney atmosphere.Cons:
Can be pricey for multiple trips, not all Disney employees are versed on it yet, no Minnie Van pins or multiple trip rewards, can't pay with cash or Disney Gift Card/back to roomReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 01/04/2020

My daughter and I decided to use the service instead of taking a bus to Magic Kingdom. The best choice ever. Our whole trip we used the service.
Pros:
It was great getting to the parks in a timely manner.Cons:
On New Years Eve the app was very busy.Reviewed by CNYguy Review Date: 10/30/2019

We took the minivan for our family of 4 from Animal Kingdom lodge to a breakfast reservation to Cinderella’s royal table in November 2018. Great option for getting there in time and not worrying about the bus. The driver was very friendly.
Pros:
Personal service. Not a packed bus. Clean vehicle. Friendly.Cons:
If more than one or two times, costs could add up quick.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 10/22/2019

I got to ride in a Minnie van on my birthday in August. It dropped us off at Disney Springs where we attended a cake decorating class at Amorette's. Our driver, Veronica, was very funny and very knowledgeable and as a long time cast member, her history with Disney was fascinating. And the cars are so cute!
Pros:
A quick trip to Disney Springs (very early in the morning) when bus schedule couldn't guarantee an on time arrivalCons:
None but then I don't know the costReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 10/22/2019

I loved using the Minnie Van service on my last trip 'Home'. I'm not a person who ever uses ride sharing services, so my Minnie Van trip was my first-ever ride share. My driver was very friendly, and knowlegeable. I needed a ride to a Disney Springs area resort to pick up my rental car, and he knew exactly where it was, and even waited to make sure I was at the right place. The car ride was pleasant and the conversation even more so. I would definetely use this service again, even though it might cost more than a non-Disney ride, as a woman traveling alone with young daughters, I prefer the safety of a Disney employee.
Pros:
Easy to use, Great serviceCons:
more expensive than non-Disney servicesReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 09/27/2019

After a long day in the park we went to Wilderness Lodge to have dinner and after eating it was rather late and both mu husband and I were very tired and dreading to long wait/ride back to our resort. my husband decided to give the Minnie vans a try and we were at our resort in 10 minutes with a minimal cost. Needless to say that is how we got back to our resort for the next 8 nights. The cars were fast in picking us up and also very clean and the driver very pleasant.
Pros:
can't think of anything.Cons:
Fast way to get back to your resort after a long day at the parks.Reviewed by Schwad1 Review Date: 04/17/2019

We were staying at a Disney Springs hotel just a few weeks after the service started accepting passengers there (it had previously been limited to the parks and Disney hotels only) so it was hard to get information on how it worked ahead of time. I can not recommend this service enough to families with multiple small children!! The drivers are experienced and all of them had a ton of knowledge about Disney, the parks, best ways to drive to skip traffic, and lots of other tips and stories. We were able to get virtually all the way up to the gates of Magic Kingdom in a Minnie Van, which regular Lyfts or private cars can't do, which was really helpful for our pre-park opening breakfast reservation as an adult on my own with two children. The drivers knew how to quickly and correctly install the carseats, which looked brand new, both forward and rear-facing. Worth every penny!
Pros:
Fast, great access to park entrances, clean, comfortable, knowledgeable and friendly drivers,Cons:
A little pricey (but totally worth it!)Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 03/09/2019

Used the Minnie vans princess race weekend to get from Hollywood Studios to EWWS to pick up race packets. Would have taken us hours by bus but only 25 min by Minnie van- even in traffic! We needed car seats for both Minnie Vans and Frank the tank ( our driver) was awesome getting them installed and getting us on our way! Would totally reccommend them if you have a destination that would take multiple bus transfers to get where you need to be! Super friendly drivers—Will use them again!
