![]() Still, we would rather have the Magical Express and would rather not have to pay for the rental car or Uber. Having the rental means that we can go offsite for food more easily and we have faster transportation to any park except for the Magic Kingdom. We do still stay onsite as we love staying at Port Orleans but now rent a car, which is an added expense that we choose. To eliminate such a benefit and not reduce pricing is aggravating. We did use it and actually looked forward to boarding the bus as that felt like the start of our vacation. The lack of Magical Express hurt, though. Now that we’re about a month into 2022, it’s finally starting to sink in that Disney’s Magical Express service is really gone. If the appetite changes, Disney starts discounting rooms and may have to adjust their prices. So, it does come down to a market rate that is driven by consumer appetite. Mears, the company that operates Magical Express, has released a statement on the announcement. Clearly, Mears knew there was still money to be made providing that transportation, and so they got Mears Connect operational before Magical Express even ended. We just reported that Disney’s Magical Express will be discontinued in 2022, but that doesn’t mean that a similar option won’t be available. ![]() ![]() There were already issues of cost and price between the two parties. Now we know what it will be replaced with. Disney rates do not correspond to the actual market rates for the Orlando area, as you stated, and one could argue that Universal is the same (though UNI Express Pass is a huge benefit to staying at the upper level of hotels). The timing of the contract with Mears to provide Magical Express ending after the emergence of COVID is coincidental. Weve known for some time that Disneys Magical Express was going to be coming to an end at the start of 2022. Disney will charge what they think people will pay because they are Disney. Agree, although I would argue that Disney is a market until itself.
