The service offers a comfy and convenient way for you to travel to and from the Disney theme parks, to dining reservations at our resort hotels, family gatherings, shopping sprees at Disney Springs® and much more in a jiffy.

The private vans are roomy, comfortable, and usually only minutes away. Each driver is a friendly Disney Cast Member trained to take you where you need to be — safely and with a smile.

How does it work? You can download the Lyft app on your mobile device, open it from anywhere at Walt Disney World Resort, and select the Minnie Van service option. Then, you can follow the steps below:

  • Confirm your current pickup location.
  • Enter your Walt Disney World Resort destination and tap “Request.”
  • The app will display a map tracking the vehicle en route and give you an identifying vehicle number to help you spot your car.

With Lyft, you can request their ride from your smartphone and pay right through the app. The Minnie Van service is an easy and friendly way for you to whisk your family off to the magic!

Opening Dates for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

By MousePlanning.com | Filed in Disney News, Disney Vacation Planning, Disneyland, Hollywood Studios, Theme Parks, Walt Disney World

Opening Dates for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge

 

Exciting news for Disney and Star Wars fans!  While Disney is still hard at work creating their largest single-themed land expansions ever, there is big news to share about the opening dates for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge!

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will open in summer 2019 at Disneyland® Resort and in late fall 2019 at Walt Disney World® Resort, when you will land in the middle of the action as you live your own Star Wars stories.

To book your Disney Vacation and experience Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge for yourself, call 855-434-9397 or start planning online!

In the meantime, take a look at this incredible sneak peek at these new immersive lands!

In addition, we have some additional exciting news about Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Walt Disney Imagineering Story Editor, Margaret Kerrison, shared that the name of the village is called Black Spire Outpost. She also shared some of the history behind the name and how this village is closely associated with the geological formations that surround it.

The largest settlement on the planet Batuu, Black Spire Outpost is an infamous stop for traders, adventurers, and smugglers traveling around the Outer Rim and Wild Space. Off the beaten path, this outpost has become a haven for the galaxy’s most colorful — and notorious — characters. Widely known for the petrified remains of its once towering ancient trees, the spires now stand guard across the river valleys and plains and have long captured the imagination of travelers to this planet. To the first settlers, these petrified spires became more than just landmarks; they became the heart of the outpost itself.

Disney Cruise Line Fall 2019 Itineraries

By MousePlanning.com | Filed in Disney Cruise, Disney News, Disney Vacation Planning

Disney Cruise 2019

In fall 2019, Disney Cruise Line will return to favorite destinations and home ports on a variety of itineraries, including adventures to Bermuda, Bahamas, Baja, Canada and the Caribbean. With cruises ranging from two-night getaways to week-long vacations and beyond, this season of sailings offers countless opportunities for families to delight in Disney magic, explore exotic locales and make lifelong memories together.  Click here for itinerary details.

To book a Disney Cruise, call 855-434-9397

or request a quote online!

 

Sailings to Bermuda, Bahamas and Canada from New York Disney Cruise 2019
The Disney Magic returns to New York in September for a selection of departures to a diverse collection of destinations, including luxurious Bermuda, sun-kissed Bahamas and historic New Brunswick, Canada.

Three special five-night cruises feature two days in Bermuda, allowing extra time for Guests to indulge in the inimitable island nation’s famous pink-sand beaches, world-class shopping, abundant water activities and distinctive blend of British and Caribbean culture.

During two seven-night sailings from New York to the Bahamas, cruisers are treated to a double-dose of pixie dust. A stop at Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay, is paired with a day at Port Canaveral, Florida, where every Guest receives a one-day Walt Disney World Park Hopper ticket and round-trip transportation to the theme parks in nearby Orlando.

A single five-night cruise to Canada transports Guests from New York to charming Saint John, New Brunswick with a stop in Bar Harbor, Maine.

Baja and Mexican Riviera Voyages from California
In September, the Disney Wonder sets sail for a limited engagement in San Diego, where guests embark on adventures to Baja and the Mexican Riviera. Baja itineraries highlight the region’s famous beaches and exciting water activities with calls on Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada, Mexico. Two exclusive seven-night Mexican Riviera sailings feature the snorkeling and scuba diving hot spots Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán and Cabo San Lucas.

Disney Cruise Line Guests can enrich their experience by combining select San Diego-based cruises with a pre-cruise package from Adventures by Disney. During this three-night itinerary, guests embark on a rare behind-the-magic visit to The Walt Disney Studios and Disney Archives, a private tour of Walt Disney Imagineering and a visit to the place where it all began—the Disneyland Resort.

Vacations to Bahamas and Caribbean from Texas
Beginning late November, the Disney Wonder will make Galveston its home port for a special series of sailings to the Caribbean and Bahamas, with options of four, six and seven night voyages.

Tropical Escapes from Florida Disney Cruise 2019
In fall 2019, the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy continue sailing guest-favorite itineraries to the Bahamas and Caribbean from Port Canaveral, while the Disney Magic returns to Miami in November with a variety of cruise lengths and itineraries.

The Disney Dream sails three- and four-night cruises to Nassau and Disney Castaway Cay. These itineraries make for the perfect family getaway, combining the magic of Disney with the ease and enjoyment of a tropical cruise vacation.

The Disney Fantasy sails seven-night Caribbean voyages, and every cruise includes a stop at Disney Castaway Cay. Eastern Caribbean itineraries visit the Virgin Islands of Tortola and St. Thomas, and Western Caribbean cruises call on Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Falmouth.

The Disney Fantasy will also sail a selection of special itineraries. In October, an eight-night voyage transports Guests south to St. Kitts, Antigua and San Juan, Puerto Rico, while a six-night Western Caribbean itinerary includes calls on Cozumel and Costa Maya, Mexico. Both itineraries are capped off with a day at Disney Castaway Cay. In December, two unique seven-night itineraries include one cruise to San Juan, Tortola and Disney Castaway Cay, and another voyage featuring two days on Disney’s private island after visits to Cozumel and Grand Cayman.

New Art Exhibition Coming to Epcot American Adventure Gallery

By MousePlanning.com | Filed in Attractions, Disney News, Epcot, Walt Disney World

American Adventure

 

One of the hallmarks of the Epcot® World Showcase pavilions is their ongoing mission to bring authentic cultural experiences to Guests.

From live entertainment, to cultural representative Cast Members, to film experiences showcasing majestic vistas of the countries, Disney strives to give guests a glimpse of the people, culture and history of the country through art, dining and architecture.

For some countries, that includes an exhibition of authentic cultural art. There have been recent updates to the art gallery in Mexico, and more exciting work is underway to refresh the gallery in Norway.

Also coming this summer to the American Heritage Gallery at The American Adventure is a brand new exhibition called “Creating Tradition: Innovation and Change in American Indian Art”.

“Creating Tradition: Innovation and Change in American Indian Art” is made possible through the collaboration of the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture (MIAC) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) in Washington, D.C.

Among the featured artists with works on display are fashion designer Loren Aragon (Acoma Pueblo), noted doll maker Glenda McKay (Ingalik-Athabascan), and Juanita Growing Thunder (Assiniboine Sioux) from the Growing Thunder family of Montana.

As with other exhibitions that have graced the American Heritage Gallery, this new exhibition will feature interactive elements, where some of the artists will share the creative process and inspirations behind their works in their own words.

Stay tuned for updates to the art exhibitions at Epcot, including an opening date for “Creating Tradition: Innovation and Change in American Indian Art.”
