It has been free to resort guests since it started in 2005 and-for me, anyway-it’s considered a major perk for staying at a Disney Resort hotel. This all makes for a great first impression.įor years now, I’ve expected to eventually be charged for this service. Aside from them showing Walt Disney giving his Disneyland opening day speech edited to appear as though it were at Walt Disney World (a pet peeve of mine), the content is informative and enjoyable. On top of that, if you’re a Disney nerd like me, you surely enjoy the videos shown onboard to prep and hype you for your vacation while traveling from the airport to your hotel. To me, that’s a priceless first impression that I will miss. Just think, you’re still approximately 20 miles away from Disney property, yet that “Disney bubble” that us fans love living in has already begun. I can’t think of a better first impression when starting your Walt Disney World vacation than having your luggage and transportation to your hotel taken care of at no additional cost. I personally loved this extra little touch of customer service.Īs the saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. In addition, pre-COVID, you could choose to have your luggage tagged so that a Cast Member would take care of picking up your suitcase at the luggage carousel and deliver it directly to your hotel room several hours later.

Mears Connect serves Orlando International Airport and the Disney resort area with two service levels - Standard and Premium. Magical Express operator Mears is offering its Mears Connect service. There are also other third party options that have opened up to meet the needs of Disney guests. Officially, Disney is suggesting alternative forms of transportation, including using official Disney transportation partners - Lyft ride share and Enterprise rental cars. Additionally, complimentary transportation options – such as buses, monorails and Disney Skyliner – will continue to be available within Walt Disney World Resort for Disney Resort hotel guests, including to and from all four theme parks." We will continue to operate the service for new and existing reservations made at Disney Resort hotels for arrivals throughout 2021. In light of this shift, when Disney Resort hotel bookings open for stays in 2022, we will no longer offer Disney's Magical Express service for airport transportation, starting with arrivals January 1, 2022. The closure was announced in January 2021, and in a statement, Disney said: "Vacationers have more options to choose from than ever for transportation, including ride-share services that save time and offer more flexibility to go where they want, when they want.
