Those staying at the Disney World owned resorts are eligible for free transportation from the Orlando International Airport to their resort via Disney’s Magical Express bus service.

I’ve used this service and love it! You can read my Magical Express review here.

Magical Express service ended for Disney World Resort reservations beginning on 1 January 2022.

The Sunshine Flyer – Is a Disney’s Magical Express replacement that started operation 1 February 2022. It’s the same type service as the Magical Express, except it’s paid and goes to Shades of Green also.

Mears Connect – Is a Disney’s Magical Express replacement that started operation 1 January 2022. It’s the same service as the Magical Express, except it’s paid and goes to Shades of Green also.
