2 Reasons the Bus From the Orlando Airport to Disney World Isn't the Hack That Everyone Thinks It Is

2 Reasons the Bus From the Orlando Airport to Disney World Isn’t the Hack That Everyone Thinks It Is

Yes, it’s been nearly a year and a half since Disney’s Magical Express Service ended. And yes, we’re still just a tad bitter about it.

Gone but not forgotten🥲

The Magical Express provided a free way to get from the airport to your Disney World hotel — and you didn’t even have to pick up your baggage at the airport baggage claim. It just “magically” showed up at your hotel. Now you have to pay to get to your hotel — either by rideshare, taxi, a shuttle bus, or a rental car. And that’s why we were SO EXCITED when a new public bus route made it easier to get from Disney World to the Orlando Airport (and vice versa) for the fare of just $2 each.

But that bus route? Well, it isn’t *quite* the hack you may think it is. Let’s get into it!

Disney has forward momentum in Florida.

Cinderella Castle

Even as Walt Disney World has added new attractions in the last several years, much of the attention on Disney has focused on matters outside the theme parks. Specifically, Disney’s now-years-long political conflict with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, which began as a political disagreement and then evolved into a legal battle between the two over Disney’s “special district” political privileges. The governor essentially took control of the body once known as the Reedy Creek Improvement District in early 2023, turning it into the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District. However, in recent months, news of a settlement gave hope that the situation was turning a corner. Now, there’s even more evidence.
