I've been waiting in line for the last 90 minutes and I'm not getting on anytime soon. I understand there is a pandemic, but this is ridiculous. I wish I would have paid for an Uber. We did not have this issue before. Little by little Disney keeps taking things away and giving terrible service. I can't imagine they'll be able to compete with Universal.

Pros:

free, but there's another price

Cons:

See above

One less things Disney lets you not worry about. After traveling for hours, it is nice to know that your transportation is just a bus ride away to/from the airport. A huge convenience.

Pros:

Roomy and comfortable busses with entertainment playing.

Cons:

Would be a long trip if your hotel is one of the last ones on the line.

The fact that this is free is insane to me! What an excellent service. You really feel like as soon as you step off you plane that your vacation has started. I was worried that we wouldn't find a bus for our 3am flight home, but they had busses for those crazy times too!

Pros:

Easy, convenient, Disney magic

Cons:

They play the videos at all times, even at 3am when you just want to sleep

I love that they provide a free service to you to get from the airport to the resort you are staying. This allows you to avoid parking fees, tolls, and rental costs. They had Disney shorts and videos playing on the bus for your ride. I am only giving a 9 instead of a 10 because of waiting in line to get on at the airport felt like forever because we were excited to get there.

Pros:

All of it

Cons:

Line at airport (which isn't even that bad)

They put us on a bus then took us off, put us on another bus then took us off even though it was stopping at the spot attached to my hotel. Finally put us on the correct bus, very rude woman at the desk, bad customer service skills. Do not recommend.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Poor customer service. Very rude.

I recommend using the Magical Express. It is the least stressful way to travel to & from WDW. Do NOT rely on the Magical Express to deliver your luggage to your room. Claim it at MCO and stow it under the bus. The inconvenience of handling your luggage is well worth it. We arrived at MCO at 7PM but by midnight, our bags had still not been delivered. After many phone calls, our luggage arrived at 2AM. Starting our visit without a good night's sleep was less than magical.

Pros:

Ease.

Cons:

Luggage delivery is annoyingly unpredictable.

Love the fact I don’t have to rent a car or drive upon arrival. Very comfortable seats and fun cartoons on the way to your resort. Some of the ME bus tv advertised Disney offerings I hadn’t known about before. Not knowing exactly what time the bus will arrive at your resort upon arrival (due to multiple resort stops) can be challenging for scheduling dining reservations/fastpasses. And again, because the bus stops at multiple resorts it might arrive later than the time scheduled for your departure.

Pros:

No need to rent a car; comfortable seats, experience Disney service from the time you land in Florida.

Cons:

Estimated time of arrival at resort varies greatly. Wait times for a bus can be long at the airport.

Excellent way to go from airport to WDW. No hassle with finding alternate transportation, long lines at rental places, or worrying about traffic.

Pros:

Included with hotel stay. They take care of luggage. Not having to drive

Cons:

None
