Just announced Disney's Magical Express to cease operation January 1st 2022. Going to get a lot tougher to find a parking space.

I am stunned by this move.

That's a big bummer. It's always been a favorite part of the experience for us, not to mention a major perk.

Say it ain't so! We've really become accustomed to using DME.

I hear the sound of rate increases for the town car companies in Orlando.

they keep charging more for less and less magic...yet we continue to pay...

Wow. This was such a huge benefit (with the luggage service). I get why in a COVID and Uber era it was less popular but this still surprises me (other than cost-cutting). This seemed to be a reason to keep people on-site.

This and the end of extra magic hours (okay I get 30 minutes at any park) and on-site has less and less benefits.

Whoa!

And the benefits become less and less for staying onsite. They also announced the end of Extra Magic hours but "in honor of the 50th anniversary they'll be allowing 30 minute early entry to hotel guests at all parks".

The Chapek years are swinging in full force.

Better get that train from MCO to Disney Springs done

I don't think this is what we meant when we said we wanted more exclusive benefits for DVC owners.
