8/9/2023 0 Comments Magical express replacement![]() ![]() After Mickey opened the park, we would then head over to catch one of the first boats for the Jungle Cruise. We would probably arrive at the tapstiles around 8:30-8:40 am, stroll down Main Street, and then post up around the entrance to Adventureland to watch the Welcome Show. For example, a typical day for us might start with some Tonga Toast at 7:30 am before heading over to the Magic Kingdom for a 9:00 am opening. On the other hand, replacing Extra Magic Hours with Early Park Entry has the potential to have a significant impact on our touring, especially for trips where we stay off-site. People are going to have some decisions to make regarding car rentals v ride-share v other options in getting from MCO to Disney World, and they all have cost/convenience trade-offs that might not align with people’s values as much as Magical Express. If we had been taking Magical Express, that would have been impossible (setting aside some kind of “hacks” like taking a bus to the Floridian, etc… which may or may not have worked.) There are negatives to car rentals, though, especially now that Disney charges parking. In our rental car, we could drive straight to the Magic Kingdom, and we ended up getting to the Magic Kingdom just as the event was starting. For example, one time, Elyssa and I were flying down to go to After Hours at the Magic Kingdom, and our flight was severely delayed. That allowed me to get from the airport to my destination (hotel, Disney Springs, or park) much faster. (For the various issue I had with Magical Express, I did have confidence that if I made my bus, Disney would do whatever was necessary to get me home, even if there was an issue with the bus or something else unforeseen.) On trips where I wanted to maximize my time in the parks, however, I would simply rent a car. I was traveling solo while Elyssa was working photography jobs, and my biggest concerns were minimizing some expenses on the trip and was making sure I made my flight. I disliked the amount of time it took for me to arrive at my resort (which was never the first stop), or that I had to be back at my resort 3 hours before my flight to catch the return bus (instead of leaving directly from a park, Disney Springs, etc…) That said, for the trips I used, it made sense. I appreciated the convenience of not having to worry about my transportation but found some of its details frustrating. I did use the service a couple of times for very short (about 48 hour) trips, however. Ultimately, Magical Express was not for me. ![]() Both are pretty substantial changes to Disney’s offerings, though I think the Early Theme Park Entry for onsite guests will probably have a more significant impact on Elyssa and me.īefore I dig into Early Theme Park Entry, a few quick thoughts about Magical Express. Earlier this week, Disney announced that it will be ending Magical Express at the end of 2021 and that Extra Magic Hours will be replaced with “Early Theme Park” Entry.
