I tip right in the app as I rarely carry cash around (yeah, I know the advice it to carry some but I don't always have some)
Great will do same also. I always try to have some but DS 6 makes it disappear!

We used the MV during our March visit from AKL to MK, we loved it. We did tip the driver and we booked it via the Lyft app- we were able to select a Minnie Van. Our driver was very very sweet and knowledgable. The Chevy Traverse is very comfy and the phone chargers are a nice bonus. Our driver also switched music from AKL to MK theming as we drove around property. I would definitely do it again since the HUGE benefit over a regular Lyft/uber is that at MK the drop off is the bus depot. Big perk and worth it. We used it for one way during our midday park break, it was leaps and bounds worth $25 + tip to avoid another bus ride.What are folks experiences - good, bad, ok?
Is this a tippable service? I know if I use regular Lyft - I would tip.
We always take a cab from BWV to the Contemporary on California Grill night - and I think I spend about $20 - with tip. Would spring for the extra $5 -- if I didn't have to tip on top of that.
Also - we will need one that can accommodate an ECV - I think some of the minnie vans do - correct?
Last year I used the regular Lyft service from BLT to BC (my quick way of getting to Epcot for dinner) - price was very reasonable - even with the tip
The reference above about the need to call the driver was in order to get an accessible Minnie van. To summarize: use the Lyft app to request a Minnie Van and then call the driver only f you need an accessible Minnie van for an ECV.So you have to get the lyft app? and then call them?
As I understand the current status is that for the Swan / Dolphin, you would need to go to the Boardwalk or the Yacht & Beach Club to catch a Minnie van.sorry, don't mean to hijack the thread.
Does anyone know if they pick up from swan? Wanted to get to chip n dale's singalong.
Once you have stayed at a Minnie Van enabled Resort and you have Minnie Van as a vehicle choice on the Lyft app, you have Minnie Van service for good. They can come and go to any and all Disney owned properties. So you'll be fine.If I'm at a Minnie Van location it will show up as an option on my Lyft app. Good. I'm staying at Pop which is a Minne Van site so that's all good.
What if take a Minnie Van to MK and later that day want to go to Downtown Disney? Or even just back to Pop? How does the return trip work when you are starting from a non Minnie van location?
I'll start out saying I haven't used an ECV vehicle but did have a driver tell me how to use it. So my understanding is based on that, not first hand use. The driver gave me instructions and handed me a card that you'd use to call for one.The reference above about the need to call the driver was in order to get an accessible Minnie van. To summarize: use the Lyft app to request a Minnie Van and then call the driver only f you need an accessible Minnie van for an ECV.

We used it from BC to Hoop Dee Doo and then took it back to BC after HDDR. As much as I love taking the boat from MK to FW, it was so much easier and quicker using the Minnie Vans and being dropped off right by Pioneer Hall. We use the minnie vans 4 times on that trip and we had great experiences and we plan on using them again in November.I would like to use this to get from BC to Hoop-Dee-Doo...

So if I want to use Minnie Van's all I have to do is drop by any property that has them, the app will un-lock and I'm good for the rest of my trip?
We have always just hopped in a taxi to get to places like HDDR or a waterpark. It was always easy and the price seemed reasonable. Not as cute as a Minnie Van though! Are there still taxis waiting outside the resorts?
Did you have to pay $25 both ways or is $25 for round trip?We used it from BC to Hoop Dee Doo and then took it back to BC after HDDR.

No. You have to be a registered guest at one of the participating resorts first. Then you are good to go for duration of Minnie Van existence, even if you do not stay at a participating resort again.So if I want to use Minnie Van's all I have to do is drop by any property that has them, the app will un-lock and I'm good for the rest of my trip?
