Heading to Walt Disney World usually means flying into Orlando International Airport (MCO), the main entry point for countless Disney visitors every year.
Just touching down and seeing that distinctive blue and green carpet instantly marks the beginning of your vacation. However, while MCO and Disney World are strongly linked, getting from the airport to the parks has become more complicated recently. There are a few significant changes needed to improve this part of the journey for guests.
In asking readers for their thoughts on what would make the trip from MCO to Disney World smoother, one sentiment was clear: bring back the Magical Express. This free bus service whisked guests from the airport directly to their Disney hotel, eliminating the need for additional planning or dealing with luggage. As Mike succinctly said, “There’s only one answer, right? Bring back the Magical Express.”
Besides its convenience, the Magical Express kept visitors in the Disney bubble, adding a layer of magic many fans still miss. Kristen articulated it well: “Why stop bringing people into their Disney bubble? It just pops the bubble and might lead us to stay elsewhere instead.” The absence of this service has prompted guests to explore other transportation and lodging options, potentially reducing their immersion in the Disney experience.
With more traffic between MCO and Disney World, many wish for a swift and easy solution, like a dedicated rail line. Chris noted, “Rail, rail, rail! We need an AirTrain-style train from MCO to Disney to skip the traffic frenzy.” A rail system could remove the unpredictability of traffic, ride-share fluctuations, and rental car hassles, possibly restoring a bit of magic to the journey.
Fortunately, there are plans for a SunRail train line in Central Florida, with stops including MCO and Disney Springs.
