Do the Minnie Vans go to Universal?

[disfam15]

Hi,
I am so sorry if this has been asked before. Does anyone know if the Minnie Van goes to Universal? I heard that they will go off site but will not pick you up off site. Has anyone taken the Minnie Van off property? If so, how much did it cost?
Thanks!

Oh- I forgot to mention that we would begin on property (Wilderness). We were planning to take an Uber or Lyft but we will need one with a car seat so the cost might be about the same.

No they don't. They will take you anywhere on property, but they do not leave the bubble.

Thank you so much! That was what I thought but then I saw that they went off property in a video so I wanted to double check.
Thanks again

Currently they only go offsite for airport pick ups for those staying Club Level. This service costs $$$. Disney will not take you to Universal..they want you to stay and spend money on their property, not the competitions.

The whole point of Minnie Vans and DME is to make sure you spend all your cash at Disney.

Yes, this. They aren't going to transport you in their Disney vehicles to the competition.

Because they do not want YOU to leave the bubble, lol! That's the whole purpose behind ALL modes of Disney transportation -- to retain a captive audience ONSITE.

OP, you might want to bring your own child seat, especially if your child can use a BubbleBum or folding booster. Lyft does not have any vehicles with child seats. Uber has some, but Uber is not buying any more child seats, so the numbers are dwindling. Having your own booster will make availability MUCH easier, you'll be able to use both companies, and you'll save money.

Uber never did buy car seats in Orlando -- at least not since I joined. It was up to the driver to find the signup info, buy an approved seat and get trained on their own dime. I'm sure many drivers didn't even know it was an option.

OP, maybe you were thinking about the Disney Springs hotels.

LOL....No....They are Disney property and therefore remain on Disney property or transportation to MCO. To get from WDW to Universal, you can Uber or Lyft (non-Minnie Van). I don't think Universal would like to see Minnie Vans on their property; that would be like having Harry Porter broom vans on WDW property.

A regular Uber over to universal will be about $15 each way

We have used mears to get from Disney to seaworld and universal and they supplied car seats.
