Hi Christin! Welcome to planDisney!
Oh my goodness, tomorrow your
countdown hits the single digits! My family considers that a BIG vacation countdown milestone, so I am thrilled for you!
Disney’s Magical Express runs 24 hours per day, seven days per week. This is great news for everyone traveling to the Walt Disney World Resort (through December 31, 2021), because even for morning arrivals like your flight, a bus is making its way to you!
I have made three trips to the Walt Disney World Resort since it reopened last summer and one of those times the wait for a bus was short and we were on our way to our
Disney Resorts Collection hotel very quickly! On the other two visits, there were long lines to check-in for Disney’s Magical Express and long waits for a bus to arrive. Since we don’t travel with booster seats for our kiddos, we decided to stick with the complimentary transportation, but had we been able to easily use alternate transportation, we probably would have skipped the wait and gone the ride-sharing service route instead.
It’s hard to say how long your wait will be, but I suggest taking a quick peek at the line to check in at Disney’s Magical Express when you arrive. If the line looks long, it might be a good idea to use a taxi or ride-sharing service instead so you can get on with enjoying your vacation faster!
I hope this helps, Christin! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
