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

By 4 Comments

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🥲

Aside from just what options you have, you may be wondering just how LONG it’ll take you to get from one spot to the other and whether the use of any of these options makes a difference. No worries, we’ve got you covered with EVERYTHING you need to know!
