Use Minnie Vans Over Other Forms of Transportation

Disney transportation is free and easy to use, but if you want to add some more luxury into your experience then you can book a Minnie van. Minnie Vans are Disney’s version of Uber or Lyft. You can order one from anywhere on property and they can take you to any park or resort. This experience is an additional fee with pricing that varies, but a private car is a great way to add a little more luxury into your trip.

Add Premium Experiences Like Tours

There are several premium experiences that you can add onto your Disney vacation to make it feel more fancy and luxurious. Behind the scenes tours like the Marceline to Magic Kingdom Tour will take you to places you can’t see as a typical guest. The Caring For Giants tour at Animal Kingdom will give you an up-close experience with Disney’s elephants. Magic Kingdom’s fireworks dessert party will allow you to have private seating during the Happily Ever After fireworks display, and there are even boat tours on Bay Lake that you can take with your family.
