Magical Express Will No Longer Be Mailing Out Confirmations
If you’ve been following along with MickeyBlog you’ll know that there are some big changes coming to the way guests get to and from the airport. Disney World has previously announced that they will be discontinuing their longstanding complimentary airport transportation starting in 2022.
Magical Express which is co-operated by Mears currently takes guests to and from Orlando International Airport and Walt Disney World resorts. Disney World has yet to announce a replacement for the service. Brightline will be bringing high speed rail between MCO and Disney Springs but that’s unlikely to open in early 2022 which means there needs to be a solution to fill in the gap.
As Disney looks to wind down Magical Express operations, they officially announced that they will no longer be mailing Magical Express confirmation letters to guests and travel agents.
Guests instead are encouraged to use their Magic Band or Magic Mobile to check in at Disney’s Magical Express Welcome Center.
For those that can’t use either of these options, Disney will use your ID to check reservations manually.
To avoid gridlock and to streamline the process Disney is encouraging all guests to make your Magical Express reservations and provide round-trip flight information during the time you book you getaway As Disney becomes more and more reliant on tech to manage every facet of your Disney getaway, we here at MickeyBlog recommend that you download and familiarize yourself with the My Disney Experience app prior to your arrival.
Though I loved getting the Magical Express mailing from Disney, I’m not surprised that Disney World has opted to go this route, particularly given the fact that luggage collection is no longer being offered and therefore no luggage tags are needed..
As we inch ever closer to the end of 2021, we’ll be carefully watching for information regarding the future state of airport transfers. Readers are encouraged to keep following along with us here at MickeyBlog for further news and updates.
