I was watching a video about secrets of Disney World, and AJ was talking about Minnie Vans when she said they were 3.15 per mile after the base of 15. Im pretty sure it was this one, dated Dec 7. I want someone to tell me I heard wrong, please! The Minnie Van part starts around 3:10.Do you have a link?
Hoping I heard wrong! 2.75 is pricey enough!Color me a little skeptical, since the disney food blog still lists the price as $2.75 per mile: http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/everything-you-want-to-know-about-walt-disney-worlds-minnie-vans/
That's what she said, but I think it would be reported in other places if it had increased.I was watching a video about secrets of Disney World, and AJ was talking about Minnie Vans when she said they were 3.15 per mile after the base of 15.

I think, depending where you are of course, that $2.75 per mile or part of a mile is typical taxi fare.Hoping I heard wrong! 2.75 is pricey enough!
I think the per mile rate for the minnie van is about 10% higher. But you're right that the base fee is really the killer. Its about eight times the typical base fee for a taxi in orlandoI think, depending where you are of course, that $2.75 per mile or part of a mile is typical taxi fare.
Difference being, of course, that taxis don't charge you a $15 base fee.
Okay, got an answer back from Disney. Remember I specifically asked whether the price had gone up to 3.15 and this is what I got:I emailed Disney asking the question, not sure when I will hear back about it, but maybe it will shed some light on this.
Wow! If I were a family needing a car seat or two and this saved me from renting a car, it might be worth it. Otherwise, it’s Uber/Lyft or normal WDW transportation for me.FWIW, I was curious so just plugged in a route from Poly to YC in the Lyft app and toggled to Minnie Van. If I click through to the price details, it says a Base Fare of $17 and Per Mile of $3.15.

Unless you have special needs that have to be accommodated, it is all done strictly through the Lyft app.So what is a round trip price? and how is this booked? I need to check this out for my client base...(sure, sure) lol.. Do I just call and make a reservation for it? or is it strictly through the Lyft app? thanks!
That's to and from the airport only, just like it says.ok, this is weird, what am i reading then? It is saying $150 bucks one way...and reservations need to be taken.

That’s the airport to resort or resort to airport Minnie Van service. It’s really a separate thing from the Minnie Van service that can be used between on-site locations, although the same drivers and vehicles are used for both. That’s the service referred to in the posts above, and for which prices have recently been increased. Regular Minnie Van service is booked using the Lyft app when at an on-site location.ok, this is weird, what am i reading then? It is saying $150 bucks one way...and reservations need to be taken.

It's probably because they have a limited number of vehicles available for airport runs and they need to schedule them. Also, it's a +/-30-40 minute drive. They don't want to drop someone off at the airport, have the car return to WDW, and then get a ride request FROM the airport.I just think that is rather ..hum, interesting. So I have to pre make a reservation ahead of time, which is fine...but fare goes way up to 150 one way. ok, well, I have to try it to review it...and so it shall be!
