Minnie Vans Gone For Good?

[TikibirdLand]

from 9 months ago

Don't know about y'all. But, I'd love to have one of these as our family truckster!

With self-driving technology improving could we see driverless Mini Vans in the near future?

It’ll be fine until one self drives into a skyliner tower.

FWIW a FB poster who is either Eagle Eyed or delusional believes they saw new Minnie Van signage in the pickup area at DHS today.View attachment 558976

I don’t know these things as well as y’all but I’d swear I recall the Minnie Van signs being square previously with “powered by Lyft” as the language used.

There are square signs, but they have said "connected" for a while, maybe always?

Um, apparently this person WAS eagle eyed!

This is basically confirmation of their return.

Also it’s probably worth remembering that the “Minnie Vans are cancelled” rumor started in the first place because somebody wanted to be mean to Tom Corless:

A friend of mine found this. Could be true, that someone was just baiting the guy who runs that site knowing he’s a rumor mill.

I tried to use one a few years ago.....we had a before park open tour we needed to get to the MK for and Minnie did not show up, we ended having to use a taxi......

A shocking peek behind the curtain of the "news". A single, unverified email = a confirmed rumor

that's because Tom is the absolute worst. Kudos to anyone that can successfully troll him.

Sorry. I like Tom's videos and news shows. Not sure why the hate for him on this board. But, maybe that's for a different thread (or not a thread at all).

 

[Unbanshee]

or not a thread at all

That'll be the correct answer

Good. We need more rideshare options.

My family needs ones with car seats.

I wasn’t being sarcastic. There is a shortage of vehicles at times. More options are better.

Agreed, I thought it was great and used it all the time. Pricey but it was worth it.

Same here. They're definitely worth it when you want a ride to Magic Kingdom and you don't want to take the buses or buses haven't even started running yet (for a breakfast reservation before the park opens). The difference in costs vs. a taxi or Lyft/Uber means very little when you're comparing getting dropped off near the park entrance vs. getting dropped off at the TTC. We would often check wait times for Minnie Vans when leaving the parks, too, if the bus lines were long.

What does it mean???

I believe they used them for Marathon ops somehow.

Looks like $75 one way to the airport to me

That’s a deal next to what Mears wants for a private shuttle

Hey, a price reduction!! They were $150 one way to/from MCO before they disappeared.
