The only time the Minnie Van might be worth it to me now is to get to MK. Uber and Lyft cannot drop off at the bus depot, so you do get that convenience with the Minnie Van. The only reason we did it that day is because we wanted to get to MK as quickly as possible. Even then you could still take a Lyft to the Contemporary and walk the short distance over to MK. It would still be a lot cheaper.
Looking right now, a Minnie Van from Beach Club, where we stayed in January would be $31. Regular Lyft to the Contemporary is $9.
Don't bet on the Lyft to CR...they have gotten stricter at the gates at many of the Deluxe resorts and I've seen reports that they have scanned MBs of passengers of ride shares.
Also, getting to Ft.Wilderness for Hoop Dee Doo is better with the Minni Vans because they are allowed to drive up by Pioneer Hall. Uber and Lyft are not.
