Disney’s Magical Express Delivers ‘Hassle-Free Travel’

For Disney Hotel Guests

Walt Disney World has announced an innovative new service called “Disney’s Magical Express” which offers complimentary airport shuttle and luggage delivery for Disney hotel guests. 

Beginning May 5, 2005, guests of Disney hotels* using Disney’s Magical Express service can check their bags at their hometown airport, bypass baggage claim at Orlando International Airport (OIA) and board state-of-the-art motor coaches to the Walt Disney World Resort - as their bags “magically” appear in their room upon check in. The round-trip service, which is available and complimentary during Disney’s Happiest Celebration on Earth event (which also begins May 5, 2005), is designed to give Disney hotel guests the stress-free vacation they want.

With Disney’s Magical Express service, a family of four can save more than US$80 (based on round trip shuttle or taxi transportation, plus tip, for two adults and two children). 

“We are extremely excited to add Disney’s Magical Express to the extensive list of ways we make Disney guests’ vacations easier and more enjoyable,” said Al Weiss, president of Walt Disney World Resort.  “In essence, this benefit provides a hassle-free experience for our guests from the airport to our hotel room door and back again.”

“Disney’s Magical Express service will set new standards for convenience, value and comfort for Canadian guests traveling between their airport in Canada, right to their rooms at the  Walt Disney World Resort and back,” said Bruno Jauernig, Director, Marketing and Sales, for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, The Walt Disney Company (Canada) Ltd.

How Disney’s Magical Express service works:

·Disney’s Magical Express must be booked at least 10 days prior to arrival through Disney Reservation Center by calling 407-W-DISNEY or a travel agent.  The service commences May 5, 2005.

·Guests check their specially-tagged luggage at their departure airport.

·Upon arrival in Orlando, guests bypass airport baggage claim and go directly to the Disney Airport Welcome Center.

·Guests board state-of-the-art motor coaches that take them to their Disney hotel.

·A team of Disney representatives at the airport will pick up guests’ luggage and transport it to their hotel room.

Disney’s Magical Express service makes guests’ return to Orlando International Airport hassle-free as well.  Guests with flights later in the day will no longer have to worry about their luggage after they check out of their hotel.  They can simply check in their luggage and then enjoy the last day of their stay as Disney’s Magical Express service will then transport them and their luggage to Orlando International Airport in time to catch their returning flight.

Disney’s Magic Your Way

Disney’s Magical Express is the newest addition to Disney’s Magic Your Way program, an exciting new plan, which allows Walt Disney World guests to create their own tickets and vacation packages for a customized vacation.  Available as of January 2^nd, 2005, Walt Disney World Resort guests are able to purchase tickets to the various theme parks, attractions and other entertainment offerings that are tailored to the length of their vacation and the interests of their group - and allow them to save more per day based on their length of stay. Under Magic Your Way, a family of four will be able to enjoy a six-night/seven-day Walt Disney World vacation - including a stay at a Disney Value hotel, with theme park tickets - for as little as US$1,500 - which is less than $1,900 in Canadian funds!  (All payments must be made in USD.  Reference to Canadian funds based on foreign exchange rate published by the Bank of Canada at closing on 12/30/04).

Disney’s Magical Express is also added to the long list of premier benefits that are afforded to guests staying at Disney hotels. This includes the recently announced Extra Magic Hours, where each day one of the four theme parks opens one hour early or stays open up to three hours after regular park closing for guests of select Walt Disney World Resort hotels. **
