Service ĭisney's Magical Express service ran exclusively from Orlando International Airport, available to guests with reservations at a Walt Disney World resort hotel. Transportation from the resorts to the airport continued until January 10, 2022. In January 2021, The Walt Disney Company announced the discontinuation of Disney's Magical Express, which was made effective January 1, 2022, citing changes to consumer preferences as the reason the announcement was subject to controversy. In November 2020, Brightline announced an extension of their higher-speed rail line from the Orlando International Airport Intermodal Terminal to Disney Springs, which raised concerns over the future of Disney's Magical Express. It was initially operated by Escot Bus Lines, until Mears Transportation took over as of April 1, 2021. In 2015, Universal Orlando, Disney's main competitor in the area, announced their own airport shuttle to their resort, Universal's SuperStar Shuttle. In 2010, Allegiant Air announced that they would be moving ten of their flights from Orlando Sanford International Airport to Orlando International Airport, based partially on the fact that Disney's Magical Express service only goes to Orlando International, though the airline later moved back to Sanford, citing higher costs. ĭespite the initial opposition, the service became extremely popular, carrying 2.2 to 2.3 million guests between 20. This keeps them from leaving Disney property during their trip to spend money elsewhere, since they do not need a rental car or other transportation to get to their resort.
It initially faced strong opposition from the Greater Orlando Livery Association and Orlando-area ground transportation companies and taxi cab operators, who argued that it allows Disney to "whisk away" potential customers who would otherwise have continued on to a taxi cab or private transportation service for transportation to their hotel. History ĭisney's Magical Express commenced operations in 2005. The complimentary service was only available to guests with hotel reservations at the Walt Disney World Resort as well as those with departures with Disney Cruise Line.
Disney's Magical Express was a private ground transportation and luggage delivery service for the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida and the Disney Cruise Line Terminal at Port Canaveral, operated by Mears Transportation.
