Disney has announced that the new Disney Skyliner Gondola system will transport guests from several resorts and parks around Walt Disney World. This new transportation system is already beginning construction. Minnie Vans is also new and a point to point transportation system for guests at Walt Disney World resort.

We did not hear a start date for the Minnie-Vans, right? And I know they didn't talk money, but I'm sure they have to charge for them. We really need more details on this.

Wonder if they will have "minnie vans" that fit groups of 8 or more (thinking 15 passenger vans, I guess). If so, my group might use it for certain things, if not, well we have no really issues using the buses/boats/monorails.

They are Chevy Traverses so no. The vehicles are on site already.

I'm actually really excited for this. I love rides like these. I was too young to experience the one in the magic kingdom but at least now I get to experience this!! Going to need another SD card with all the pictures I'm going to take from this

I saw something that estimated it would be $15-$20 a ride. If that's the case, they won't even come close to putting a dent in Uber's market share.

If these vans are simply Disney blessed Ubers that take magic bands, I bet they will go over well. they can always go self-driving later.

What if they blocked some of Uber's services?

@rteetz that is exactly what I was thinking. I could see them blocking uber from property.

Thank GOD we have our own car at Disney.

Or at least make uber drop off farther away from where the Minnie Vans can drop off.

These the white vehicles lined up near MK parking, about where the raceway was?

people will use it. 1) it's Disney so the kids will like it more than an uber. 2) you can probably get discounts on it, charge it to your room etc. 3) the driver will have knowledge of the parks so it will be like having your own tour guide.

they're not going to block uber it would cause an uproar, but could make it less convenient for them.

Austin, TX, blocked Uber and Lyft for a couple of years. I don't see why Disney couldn't do it, especially if they start touting the same safety concerns that the Austin City Council had. That could make Disney look really good in the eyes of protective parents.

$20 for a ride to your $37 character breakfast out of your $290 a night moderate room is a fool's quest...

...have at it, people. They're gonna leave you behind sooner than later

Texas isn't known for following any sort of due process...

And Disney world is in Florida...there's no such thing as "bad sales tax" to the local and state governements there.

Uber isn't getting banned.
