Overview

• The Minnie Van airport service officially launched on August 13, extending the private Cast Member–driven Lyft transfer to guests staying at eight Deluxe-level resorts, including Disney’s Grand Floridian and Polynesian Village.
• Each polka-dotted vehicle accommodates up to six passengers (five in accessible vans), provides two complimentary child seats, and charges a flat rate of $199 per one-way trip.
• Disney confirms that Disney Vacation Club Members and guests using points at Deluxe properties are equally eligible for the new airport benefit.
• Media reports conflict on how to secure rides—some outlets describe seamless booking through the Lyft app while others cite a required phone reservation hotline open 60 to 2 days before travel.
• The rollout has reignited criticism of Disney’s shift toward paid, tiered transportation since retiring the complimentary Magical Express in 2022, with many guests decrying the high cost and perceived exclusivity.
