where in more should the alert appear?
I got mine on the day we checked inwhere in more should the alert appear?
When did the Minnie Vans expand to all Deluxe resorts? I'm going to a Disney After Hours and staying at GF in March, and it doesn't seem like the resort monorail or boats will be running when the even ends at midnight. I'd really like to be able to get picked up and brought immediately back to the hotel instead of riding the boat to the TTC and walking/getting an Uber/LYFT from there. They will pick you up by the buses at MK correct? I also heard that at Disney After Hours the buses might stop at 4 or 5 resorts before going to yours due to a lack of people needing to get back. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
I don't think Disney will leave you with no way to get back to your resort at the end of a ticketed, public event. If neither the monorail nor the watercraft are running, there should be buses available. At most, they may stop at 1 or 2 other resorts before the GF, not 4 or 5.When did the Minnie Vans expand to all Deluxe resorts?

Have you actually tried the service yet? From the reviews I read online people really liked it because of the convenient drop off/pick up locations and knowledgeable driver.Just FYI, things are different at the Disney After Hours event the PP was asking about. This year neither the monorail or resort launches were running (for good reason given the very limited number of people) and they had busses in non-traditional groupings for the MK and other resorts on property. We were at Poly and shared a bus with CR, WL, FW, and GF. GF was the last stop in that rotation if I remember correctly.
@foodiddiedoo - I’ll be there with you competing for a Minnie Van during DAH as well! I’m hoping there are enough around by that point in the night, although I’m prepared for anything. Have fun!

They don't but as folks have posted, they will not make it an easy trip back to the resort. It may indeed have every MK resort on 1 bus so it could be WL, FW, GF, CR and Poly all together. Depends on how many guests from those resorts so you can't assume it won't be 4 or 5 stops. Not with DAH. And yes, we have done the event more than once.I don't think Disney will leave you with no way to get back to your resort at the end of a ticketed, public event.

That's ridiculous. I would expect to stop at CR & Poly, maybe even WL, but taking folks all the way to FtW and back is extremely bad service. Especially after they've paid a premium price for a limited attendance event.They don't but as folks have posted, they will not make it an easy trip back to the resort.

Not at this time. We were at SSR last week and I asked specifically about them.Does this service include the DVC resorts such as Saratoga and Old Key West?
They sure are! We haven't HAD to ride in one, that's for sure. But we have ridden in them a few times.I need to find a reason to ride the Minnie Vans just because they are so cute!
