Riding with the dots!

Over the last several months, Disney has been offering a new transportation method that guests can use to travel around Walt Disney World parks. Using the Lyft app (a ride-share service that is similar to Uber), guests can order a styled private ride in a brand-new Minnie Mouse polka-dotted vehicle. According to the Disney Parks Blog, “with [the] Minnie Van service, Disney cast members will then whisk you away to wherever you want to be at Walt Disney World Resort”.

​This "Minnie Van" service, which started on July 31, 2017, currently has 25 leased vehicles and 70 cast members. Under this program, you can only be dropped off at any Disney location, but not at some of the independently operated properties. Pricing for this service is a flat fee of $20, regardless of origin or destination. This can be a little more expensive than a regular Lyft economy car, but is a good deal for the convenience of a larger vehicle and other amenities.
To start using the service, you will first need to stop by the concierge desk at a Disney resort, where they will send you a text message with a special link to enable the Minnie Van service on your Lyft account. (I recommend signing up for a Lyft account and installing the app ahead of your visit to save time.)
