For tourists looking to fully immerse in the Disney experience, renting a Minnie vehicle will entail a Disney cast member arriving at the resort and driving the visitors anywhere they wish at the Resort in a magically whimsical way.

“Since we’re all about exceeding guest expectations and making every aspect of your vacation uniquely Disney, we’re creating a new point-to-point transportation service in a way that only Disney can do,” Walt Disney Parks & Resorts chairman Bob Chapek said in a statement.

The seven-passenger Minnie Vans come equipped with child car seats when needed, making them a more viable option for families than Uber or Lyft. It will also be a viable alternative to Disney's Express Transportation, buses, boats and monorails.

As for the prices, Theme Park Insider is reporting they will cost around $20 a ride.
