Disney announces a significant expansion to a popular Walt Disney World transportation service. Starting Wednesday, August 13th, 2025, Disney’s beloved Minnie Van service, operated through Lyft, will now offer convenient travel to and from Orlando International Airport (MCO) for all guests staying at Walt Disney World Deluxe Resort hotels.
This update marks a major shift from the previous policy. Previously, only guests staying in Club-level accommodations at Disney Resort hotels were eligible to book Minnie Vans for airport transportation. The expansion opens this highly sought-after, stress-free arrival and departure option to a much wider range of vacationers.
“This is fantastic news for our clients seeking the ultimate in convenience and comfort,” said Natali Bohm, Owner of Axis Travel Group. “Airport transfers can set the tone for your entire vacation. Offering Minnie Van service to all Deluxe Resort guests provides a seamless, truly Disney experience right from the moment you land. It eliminates the hassle of navigating shuttles or rental cars, especially valuable for families laden with luggage or those wanting to maximize every magical minute.”

Guests staying at the following Walt Disney World Deluxe Resort hotels will be able to book Minnie Vans for MCO airport transfers:
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
