Disney has updated its Minnie Van guidelines for Accessible vehicles, opening them up to any guest who wishes to book a larger vehicle.

Accessible Minnie Van

In an update to the Minnie Van guide, Disney says "any Guest can order an Accessible Minnie Van. Guests do not need to use the vehicle's accessibility functions in order to book a ride in an Accessible Minnie Van."

Accessible Mionnie Vans include seating for 5 people, one complimentary car seat (which can be used by one of the five passengers), and two spaces for mobility devices (Guests may remain in their mobility devices for the duration of the ride). There is a maximum capacity of 7 Guests per Accessible Minnie Van.

Here's How to Order an Avcessible Minnie Van

Open the Lyft app within Walt Disney World Resort and enter your destination.
Confirm your pickup location. Lyft will provide a fare estimate, and your payment will be processed directly through the app.
Tap "Select Access. Minnie Van" (short for "Accessible Minnie Van"). If the option for Accessible Minnie Van service doesn't immediately display, scroll through vehicle type options until it appears.
Track your vehicle's progress on a map provided by the app. You'll also see the vehicle number to help you spot your car.

DW is in a w/c and the Minnie Van really helped us on the last trip we were on when it was available. Bus space is sometimes very limited because of all the scooters guests are using now. Booking the van in advance gave us assuredness that we could get to a reserved site on time. We used the service multiple times. A nice feature that we are glad came back. But I would hope those who really need it due to disability have the spots available.

On one hand, that will make it easier for larger groups to get a Minnie Van. On the other, it could make it harder for those who need the accessible van to actually get one. I wonder if they have data indicating that the accessible vans aren't being requested often enough to justify not offering them to everyone.
