Previously, the primary way to use the Minnie Van service was through the Lyft app. But now, airport transfers can be added on to Walt Disney World vacation packages.
According to the official Walt Disney World Resort website, Disney Resort guests can now secure their ride from Orlando International Airport (MCO) to their Disney Resort hotel (or from their Disney Resort hotel to the airport, or even round-trip transportation) up to six months in advance. Here are all the details, courtesy of Disney:
