Disney4me Posted 3 hours ago Report Posted 3 hours ago Wow, Disney. Way to rub salt in the wound. Disney’s Magical Express Changes in Disney World are inevitable — so many beloved things have been taken away while others are just being added. One of those beloved things? Disney’s Magical Express. And although it’s gone, there is still one way to reminisce about these nostalgic times on Disney World property. On one of our recent reporting walks, we visited Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. The resort and the surrounding roads are currently under construction, with a new entrance coming soon, so we went to check it out and see if any changes had been made to the resort’s map. Not only did we not see any changes for the new entrance, but we also noticed that changes to the map have not been made in a WHILE because we spotted the Magical Express icon STILL there! Magical Express Icon on the Grand Floridian Resort map! Disney’s Magical Express was a free transportation service that would take guests from the Orlando International Airport (MCO) to their resort on a (magical) bus when their trip began and vice versa when their trip came to an end. Guests were even provided with special luggage tags, which meant that they didn’t need to collect their luggage at the airport either! These tags allowed Disney to take guests’ luggage and deliver it to their resort later in the day — magical, right? Disney’s Magical Express Once the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the service changed. As mentioned above, Disney would take guests’ luggage and deliver it right to their rooms, but this service was suspended when the resort reopened in July 2020. On January 11th, 2021, Disney officially announced the plans to discontinue the Magical Express airport transportation service, with its final day of service being December 31st, 2022.

Will it go away soon? It could when the new entrance is complete, but we won’t know for sure until it opens! We’ll keep an eye out for any changes, so stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for more!
