I would think this suggests confidence is high for the rail project to DS.
That’s still over a year without anything tho. Train isn’t expected until 2023 and that’s if everything is on schedule.I would think this suggests confidence is high for the rail project to DS.
Wonder if they'll still continue luggage service. Big bags are really the only thing I'd miss. If I could go straight from the play to an uber or rental car, and not have to haul my bags around, that would still be a win.
I agree although the timelines don't line up as DME is ending as of Jan 1, 2022 and the only rumored dated I can find for the Brightline train to Disney Springs operating is 'second half of 2023.' What are people to do in the meantime? That's A LOT of people to suddenly need transportation.I would think this suggests confidence is high for the rail project to DS.

I assume they will only have a couple of attractions open early. That’s the way Tokyo’s “Happy 15” works.Disney Confirms ‘Resort Guest Early Entry’ Replacing Extra Magic Hours
This is purely a guess on my part but I can see Disney offering some sort of internal transportation from the train station to resorts. Still a bummer though if we need to be responsible for our luggage.I guess if I have to pay extra for transportation to my resort, I would go for a private ride, like Uber or Lyft, or even a regular taxi like in the "olden days", rather than having to haul bags on a train, then still try to figure out how to get them to my resort....
Wow .. another piece of the magic gone due to cost cutting. I guess we'll continue to see more of these "extras" go away until things stabilize again. Frankly .. I am surprised they didn't ditch Magical Express THIS year.pretty surprised by this - always though Magical Express was a way Disney kept you on property and reliant on them for all your needs
Now people might be more open to exploring off property attractions, dining, etc.
But guess it is all about cutting expenses at this point
I would imagine so.I wonder if this means that resort airline check-in will also bite the dust permanently....

yeha, I know the word "magical" is kind of cheesy, but the fact you dropped your bags at the airport and then the next time you saw them was in your room was pretty "magical" and sort of special to a Disney trip. At least to us.
Losing that is definitely just another blow to the "reasons to stay on property" column
This is a great resort perk -- WAY better (due to flexibility) than EMH. I never liked EMH .. because I could hardly ever use it .. it was so limited (to the point it was hard to align your park days to use it even just once during a week long stay).Disney Confirms ‘Resort Guest Early Entry’ Replacing Extra Magic Hours
"Disney also announced a new early theme park entry offering for hotel guests that will debut later this year. The new perk will allow Disney hotel guests to enter any of the four theme parks 30 minutes early each day.
The new early theme park entry benefit helps us better spread visitation across all four theme parks, while providing added flexibility by giving guests extra early park time on each day of their vacation and in the park of their choosing," Disney said in a statement.
That would be really sad. ME and airline check in really helped us make the vacation less stressful.I would imagine so.
