They should reinstate the magic express service. The service they provided was a unique and magical brand that all the families who stayed in the Disney hotels towards. feel magical vacations many people think that it was unique that other parks or hotels did not have and made them unique and their drivers were very responsible and professional at their service I think they should take into consideration that the service they took away a lot of affection and from many people for comfort from your vacations I hope as a fan you take consideration and think of the families
Disney has lost its magic. Getting rid of Magical Express is one of many things that Disney has screwed up in the last few years. They’re trying to become more like Universal and have lost sight of Walt’s dreams and intentions.
It was a massive differentiator. It made my choosing WDW more of a no brainer as the father of a family of 4 who travels with inlaws and other family members. As silly as it sounds, it made booking the trip easier and more palatable without needing to worry about logistics. Plus vacation started early before we even arrived.
Getting to park easier and stress free, as well as gaining much desired extra time at departure, meant MORE TIME DISNEY PROPERTY SPENDING MONEY.
Customer Experiance and satisfaction, while increasing revenue and time in parks. Isnt that what Disney should want?
I really miss the Magical Express. At 78 and 79 years old, it took the trouble of lugging luggage around so much better. We had a terrible time finding Sunshine Express after getting our luggage and having to drag it around.
Gosh bless your age and willingness to still do this. We used Mears in July and had no issue, however part of the magic has been taken away from all of us! Bring back Magical Express!
Yes!! Please bring this service back! It’s the first thing you saw magical. That’s what Disney is all about. And let’s face it, getting off the plane, not having to worry about how to get to Disney is huge!!

As a parent of a handicapped child in a wheelchair….. this bus service was a life saver for me. Not many companies offer handicapped service vehicles. So YES we do need this service back.
If people really think about it.. it wasn’t free. We pay for it somewhere along the way with booking our trip or DVC. However it’s now an extra thing you have to do by setting it up. I think what really Juliet us all is people not wanting to wait for that and use Uber etc. My kids when we go in Dec will Uber. And you know what.. not stopping at 3 hotels if yours is r the first stop is worth it ! And waiting for however long for the magical express might just get easier!
But it was free though. Because the hotel and ticket prices are not reduced now. They’re higher than ever. With less amenities. And more extra needed costs. There’s no savings having it be gone 🙁
Disney shot themselves in the foot by ending this service. If I have a rental car, I may venture off property to take my money elsewhere. Disney express kept the guests on property; their money spending on property as well. We have been forced to go with other transportation options. If you rent a car, Bob Cheapskate is going to charge you daily to park it. Higher prices for deluxe and villas. Disney was stupid to allow him to continue to be their CEO.
I think Disney should switch bus Companies so that I can still offer the Disney magical express bus experience the alternative Bus company is coach usa it an International bus company the Same company runs operation in Toronto as well coach Canada the new Service should be called Disney magical express plus the new experience would be wifi on board the bus’s new check in area at Orlando International Airport for people who have Disabilities they will use Coach USA Wheelchair accessible coach buses
New bus’s features
Wifi
Satellite TV
Business class style seating
Entertainment screen’s that swing out with a remote
Free Headsets with Walt Disney world resort logo on Them.
Coach usa can barely provide service in places now. Mears has been doing the airport service since disney opened. Besides the cost of magical Express was part of the rate for the hotel so it wasn’t free
I think they should bring it back. With all the money a family spends on a vacation at WDW why make them spend more on transportation. Maybe it’s just big money wanting more money.
I’m wondering if Chapek is secretly working for Universal. Taking more and more away while increasing prices is making Universal more and more attractive, especially if the new park turns out to be as good as it is looking.
I’m grateful for the new company! They will taKe you to Shades of Green, something that Disney Express wouldn’t do ever. It’s on property across the street from Polynesian. It’s a military hotel that used to be Disney Inn
Not even close to the same service. MEARS routes several hotels into one big trip instead of the one or two hotels when it was DME. The latter also grabbed your luggage for you. Now we have to get our own luggage and sit through literally six hotel stops before ours, which is what happened on our last trip. Yes I would pay more for all of that convenience again – less stops and luggage collection. I’d pay $100 if need be. It’s just easier, less to be concerned about, and more time not dealing with that stuff. It’s worth it for my time, so don’t be so smug about it, as if $50 scares people. You’re already paying thousands for Disney so what’s another $50-$100 for more time and less worry. It sucks that it was once free and now isn’t available, but I’d gladly pay for it, if it was.
It was free…however how much you are spending on their property pretty much pays for walt Disney property should still offer. Prices didn’t drop it actually went up but now you get less.🤔
At least Disney is extending their monorail to Orlando International. Make that magic happen as soon as you leave the plane, that’s what Walt would of wanted.
While I would LOVE for the Magical Express to return, the luggage service was really the magic part. It was really great to get off our flight, skip baggage, and start our vacation. When you’re traveling with children, the extra hands really came in handy.
They got it backwards. The should have dropped FastPass instead of replacing it with Genie+ and pay-per-ride, and kept Magical Express but charged for it. I, personally, would be glad to pay a fee for bus service if it included luggage handling.

Please stop promoting the notion that the rail line was EVER intended to replace the MDE. It never was, and never could.

Bring…. this….. back…. pleeeeeease.

It is never coming back! Get use to having to pay your own way to and from orlando international.
The only reason everyone wants it back was because it was free.
It was still an uncomfortable bus ride down 417 to WDW. Same as the 2 new services that get to you back and forth.
What if Magical Express came back but it cost $50 per person each way. Do you still want it back? At that point, just get a taxi or a Minnie Van.
Karen
Yes, as long as they handled my luggage to and from the airport like the magical express did!!!
Zara
There’s a reason your name is Karen 🤣

If mean Sunshine flyer and Mears connect as the two new services being uncomfortable, not true. We just used mears in June and it was not bad at all.
