    We went down to Disney two weeks ago. Huge lines for the Magical Express. We were lucky. Once we finally got to a line (after waiting for them hauling our luggage across two terminals) we were put in the shortest line (for Polynesian) and waited 10 minutes. The other lines were super long with no other busses in site.

    Disney is losing so much money with everything woke they are cutting back to recup some of their losses.

    So another words you had to rent a car is that correct

    We attempted magical express in June of 2021. Line was as far back as I’ve ever seen it. One couple had been in line for an hour. We used a Lyft instead. It was 42.00 but we were at the hotel in 25 minutes. We use Lyft all around the resorts as well. You pay but get to placed much faster and private

    Bad choices from the mouse house again! ME was a big reason we flew our kids down this year. They hopped right on the bus and we met them at our campsite. They’re certainly not going to lower any rates since they’re getting rid of this service. That’s just ludacris! And the whole train idea isn’t very helpful because you’ll have to be a pack mule and haul all of your luggage to Disney Springs and then hop aboard whatever transportation takes you and your luggage to your destination resort.

    We have been DVC members since 2008. The Magical Express was one of the best things going. Took us to our resort, and back to the airport to go home. Didn’t worry about our luggage. We’ll miss it!

    My family have been enjoying holidays at Disneyworld for many years.

    As we travel from the United Kingdom, Disney’s Magical Express was always the first and final experience of Disney Magic for every holiday. lt is stressful enough travelling internationally but the Magical Express lessened our anxiety and helped us look forward to enjoying our holiday and everything Disney!

    The Magical Express has always been truly a wonderful experience as the Cast Members always are happy welcoming and super efficient! The buses are always spotlessly clean and run on an efficient timetable.

    The Magical Express was always such an important part of our Disney holiday and it is terribly sad that this wonderful experience will come to an end in 2022.

    l understand the pandemic has hit businesses worldwide but taking away special benefits, like the Magical Express, makes me think Disney is penalising the people who wish to experience a Disney holiday. lt may seem like a small thing but all the cuts Disney ate making at the expense of the guests all add up and may stop future guests choosing (or possibly being able to afford) to go to Disneyworld in the future.
    l realise a Disney holiday is not cheap but all these benefits add up and possibly making a Disney holiday only for the elite and wealthy as opposed to most people.

    l know, at least for me, that this one benefit will affect me choosing to stay in a Disney resort and maybe even choosing a Disney holiday in the future.

    Off Topic a little bit, but is this feature disappearing for Disney Cruise Line, too? Will there still be Disney buses from the airport to the Port Canaveral terminal?

    I love the Magical Express! So sad to see it go. It is the beginning of the Disney magic as you embark on your voyage to the most magical place on earth.

    Now, for the low crowds, really? Could it be that we are in the middle of a deadly pandemic and Disney happens to be located at ground zero? Maybe???
