Disney's Magical Express was a private ground transportation and luggage service delivery for Walt Disney World Resort operated by Mears Transportation. The service was complimentary and available exclusively to guests with reservations at one of 21 Walt Disney World Resort hotels.[1]
In 2015, Universal Orlando, Disney's main competitor in the area, announced their own airport shuttle to their resort. The Universal service is operated by SuperShuttle, costs $35 round-trip, and has guests take care of their own luggage.[3]
As of January 1st, 2022, Disney World has announced the discontinuation of the Magical Express service, leaving guests without this transportation option.[5]
