$5 jump. Mmm, thats a bit steep.

I know it's not a bad price for a decent size party but certainly more than an Uber and they can be summonsed on the same App. Can't see me ever using one.

Wonder if the airport run has also gone up as thats only been running a few weeks?

I think you mean Lyft not Uber? The Minnie Van service is run by Lyft.

Other than large parties, I'm not sure why anyone would use Disney's minnie vans rather than the standard Lyft (or Uber) cars at half the price.

They offer two full size car seats. That was a big draw for us.

Because it's Disney, if Disney packaged poop some folks would buy it!

I thought it would be a good option for us as were a family of 5. Do Uber and Lyft have larger cars which are cheaper? I thought by having a bigger car the price increased?

I’m not sure about Lyft but Uber have the option of UberXL which seat 6 people and although they are a bit more expensive they are still very reasonable.
