Disney World Warns Guests of Change to Minnie Van Operations
Disney Minnie Van Service is great for families, but you need to be aware of this update.
Disney World Minnie Van Service
Minnie Van Services are Disney-owned and operated ride-share vehicles. They essentially run like an Uber or Lyft, but there are some key differences. Minnie Vans debuted in 2017 as an option for Guests to get around the property in a more stylish and comfortable manner.
Service halted in 2020 and did not resume until 2022. The price of a Minnie Van is more expensive than traditional ride-share services, but allows guests to feel as though they are still within the "Disney Bubble".
One of the BEST features of the Minnie Van is that it allows pickup and drop off where other transportation options are limited. See the full advantages of using a Disney Minnie Van HERE.
Minnie Van Operation Change
During a recent visit, we noticed signage warning guests of limited operations for the Minnie Vans at EPCOT. As we walked towards the EPCOT bus transportation terminal, a large sandwich board stated: "Minnie Van Service is available until 1:00 am."
Disney shares, "We apologize for any inconvenience! Should you need further assistance, please contact (407)-828-3500.
Since Minnie Vans have a dedicated bus stop number at the theme parks, this notification will help to warn guests hoping to use a Minnie Van at the designated bus stop.
How will this affect your next trip?
While this may not affect guests visiting EPCOT during normal park hours, this will affect guests visiting EPCOT for Disney After Hours at EPCOT. This special ticketed event is offered from 10:00 pm until 1:00 am on select nights.
Disney Minnie Vans no longer operate after 1:00 am at EPCOT.
Guests staying past the end of this special after-hours event will need to make other transportation plans other than the Minnie Van service. As a reminder, the Monorail and Skyliner are no longer offered to guests leaving the event.
Those guests at Disney After Hours at EPCOT may use complimentary Disney bus transportation back to the Disney Resort or use a traditional ride share.
If you are staying late for other special ticketed events (such as Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, Jollywood Nights, and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party), you will want to check for Minnie Van Service available operational hours.
