Disney recently announced the popular Disney’s Magical Express bus service between Orlando International Airport and Walt Disney World will be ending beginning in January 2022. This news left some Disney cruisers to wonder the fate of the ground transfers between Port Canaveral and the various Walt Disney World Resorts and/or Orlando International Airport.
The good news is the ground transfers available through Disney Cruise Line will continue to be available to add on for your transportation needs between a Walt Disney World Resort hotel and Port Canaveral (Resort to Port, Port to Resort) and/or between Orlando International Airport and Port Canaveral (Airport to Port, Port to Airport).
Since, Disney’s Magical Express service will continue end operations at the end of 2021, private transfers will be the only option available to purchase through Disney Cruise Line for those who are spending time at Walt Disney World Resort before or after a cruise. Orlando International Airport has a list of alternative transportation options between Walt Disney World and the Orlando International Airport.
too bad. they have such a great look and for people and Kids provided some Disney excitement , right out of the airport.
my wife and I are glad that Disney cruise line busses will be running it is too bad the magical express wont be. it is so nice to fly in a day early then take the buses to Port Canaveral . we don’t mind paying for ot we know our vacation is starting when we board the bus
It does seem a shame, as that ride is part of the fun. I cannot fathom what happened or why Disney would cut that out. It is a very convenient service to get from the airport to the resort, something decent will need to replace it and cost effective too.
While we only use the shuttle busses to go from the airport to the port and then from port back to airport, it does cause a lot of excitement to travel to the port from airport to start our Disney cruises. Watching the cartoons makes me feel like a kid again, even if I am 62 years old.
I’m sure its due to cost. The UK and other countries are stopping International travel for a Year or longer. Disney announced the parks will be reservation only they next few years. Some hotels at WDW won’t be opening tbey said til traffic back to normal. It makes sense not to have it. I’m sure they did studies and I would bet a majority of those that took the bus were International guests or guest that spent less than those who rented cars.
