Ride in a Minnie

DD(19) is a big Minnie fan... and a big Mini fan! She's spotted pics of the Minnie transport vans and is desperate for a ride in one. I know it's quite pricey, but is it worth doing once as an experience?

At the end of the day it is an over priced taxi painted to attract,Only you can decide if the cost is worth seeing your childs face glow with delight.
I personally would not call it an experience but a child who loves Minnie would obviously class it as a very exciting moment and memory.

The value is the value of joy she has, if you think it is worth the moment for her then go for it

We used them twice on our recent trip, worked out great for us, the CM drivers were very friendly and knowledgeable, after wed used the first one we got a Lyft code for 25% off our next ride so that was an extra bonus x

OP. There is nothing special about the cars except the vinyl wrap 'paint' scheme. Grossly overpriced and much cheaper alternatives available.

However, if your Daughter has set her heart on a trip in one then why not. We come this way but once and as long as finances allow go for it.

They park up at the West Side of Disney Springs, saw loads of people taking selfies stood next to them.

As a one-off, Id say do it. We took one on our first full day to MK from POFQ. DDs loved it. We had a lady driver who was really great, asked the girls questions about Disney and even sang us a little song. Lovely memory, but wont be repeated (cost).

We used them for two or three journeys in 2017, special birthday trip, but they were cheaper than they are now, so it probably wont be repeated.

Found it very handy when we were going to the sleigh ride at Wilderness Lodge, it was great going straight there from AKL.

Thanks for the replies, I'm now assuming there's no 'Disney Magic' inside the vehicle?

The only thing that is magic, is how Disney manage to con people into paying more for a product that can be had cheaper elsewhere and yet still leave people thinking it's "must" have been worth the extra.

We did it once, just so I could say we did it. Our driver shared some Disney facts on the way and was a lovely guy but as others have said, it is a nice car and not much more. If your daughter would get more enjoyment from another use of the money Id go for the other use.
