Sunshine Flyer Service Expanded to Popular Resort
The new Sunshine Flyer airport transportation service has only been up and running for a few weeks but they’re already expanding services!
The themed motorcoaches will now serve military guests staying at Shades of Green! This is the first expansion of Sunshine Flyer beyond Disney Resort Hotels but the company hopes to expand to more resort partnerships in the future.
If you aren’t familiar with this new transportation alternative, you should be! The Sunshine Flyer, a partnership between Academy Bus, Empire Coach Line and Transportation Management Services, is a new option for guests arriving at Orlando International Airport. Themed after 1920s rail travel, the busses, conductors, engineers and overall experience will immerse you in a locomotive or passenger car taken to the streets. With detailed, thematic wrapping, no two vehicles are the same; but you sure won’t miss any of these 15 busses cruising through Orlando!
They give off a kind of “Polar Express” vibe, minus Christmas and winter and…well, rails.
The Sunshine Flyer donated 50% of introductory ticket sales to the Make-A-Wish Foundation and provide free transfers to any family on a Make-A-Wish Foundation trip. They are offering a military discount of 10% to guests at the time of ticket purchase, making costs $15.30 per adult and $11.25 per child.
The new company aims to create an experience that is up to Disney standards, making your vacation start from the minute you arrive at the airport, just like Disney’s former Magical Express did. Busses will make multiple stops, depending on guests resort needs for the day, but aims to have guests at their destination in 65 minutes or less.
Shades of Green is an “Armed Forces Recreation Center” (ARFC), therefore it is owned and operated privately, not by Disney Parks. The deluxe-equivalent resort is only available to military guests and their families, with variable pricing in place. The resort offers a great location at a great value for qualifying guests!
We’re happy to see the Sunshine Flyer successfully expanding their service routes and look forward to watching this unique and fun experience grow!
