Website WDWMagic.com is reporting that the Downtown Disney Marketplace bus stops will be closed for refurbishment from September 21 - 26, 2009. During the refurbishment all Downtown Disney guests must use the Pleasure Island bus stops.
Looking for an alternative to Disney's Magical Express? Our friends at WDW Newsletter are running a contest with the grand prize of free round-trip limo service between Walt Disney World and Orlando International Airport.
The prize must be redeemed by December 31, 2009 so please enter only if you can use it! Deadline for entry is May 23, 2009. Click HERE for complete details.
Starting on March 30, 2009, Disney's Magical Express will no longer offer luggage retrieval service for arrivals to Orlando International Airport after 10:00pm. Guests will have to get their own luggage at the baggage claim area and report to the Magical Express motor coach. They will then be transported to their on-site hotel. This will allow late-arriving guests to have access to their bags without any delays.
Luggage delivery service will still be provided to guests arriving at MCO from 5:00am until 10:00pm.
Since 2005 Walt Disney World guests utilizing Disney's Magical Express (DME) airport transportation have been able to check all of their luggage at the resort, and then have it seamlessly transported to the airport. Unfortunately airline policy changes have forced Disney to alter their own procedures.
