As Walt Disney World continues it’s phased reopening, while the magic is still there, some things are a bit different, especially if you have visited the parks and resorts in Florida previously. One of these is Disney’s Magical Express, the free transportation that Disney provides from/to Orlando International Airport for Disney resort guests.
First, let’s chat about what is NOT different. Read more
Last month we talked about ways to get to Walt Disney World and this month, we will explore how to get around once you arrive. Read more
Last week, I discussed using Disney’s Magical Express to get you…and your luggage from the Orlando airport to your Disney resort hotel. In my opinion, this is a great perk that Disney offers, and can be a real savings: no need to arrange for car rental, or for a limo or taxi to get you from the airport to your hotel.
But, you may ask, what about on the way home? Can I take Disney’s Magical Express (DME) back to Orlando airport? What about my bags? Read more
Once upon a time we drove to Walt Disney World. There are of course, a number of pros and cons to doing this, but one of the pros, in my opinion, was having a car while we were visiting the parks. It allowed us the freedom to come and go when and how we wanted, no waiting for a bus, no standing, just get in your car and go. For the planner/control freak that I tend to be, it was perfect. 🙂
Then we started flying….but still unwilling to give up my car freedom, we also rented a car for our time in Florida. You know, to have “just in case”. Just in case of what, I am not certain, but we had the car anyway. Just In Case.
However the cost of airfare PLUS the cost of renting a car starts to add up….and if there is anything I want to do more than be in control, it’s save money. So we ditched the car rental about a dozen Disney vacations ago.
That’s when I fell in love with Disney’s Magical Express….and learned how to let go and leave the driving to Disney. And I gotta tell ya, it really works! 🙂
If you are staying in a Walt Disney World resort, and have never used Magical Express before, let me share with you just how easy and convenient it is.
People who know me know how much I love Walt Disney World vacations and that I have a little bit of experience planning them for myself and close friends and family. One question that I hear a lot is whether or not it’s really “worth it” to stay at one of the Walt Disney World Resorts. I could go on and on about the many reasons why I answer “YES” without hesitation, but today I want to highlight the value and convenience of Disney’s transportation – specifically Disney’s Magical Express.
