Tips and Details for the Disney’s Magical Express

Tips and Details for the Disney’s Magical Express

Getting from Orlando International Airport (MCO) to Walt Disney World and back used to be quite a bit more complicated than it is today. Now we have the Disney’s Magical Express (DME) that will take guests to and from the airport to our home away from home. DME is free and incredibly simple to use, but you might need a little guidance on what to expect when you ride the Disney’s Magical Express…

Here is the basic sequence of events you follow in using DME:

  1. When you or your Authorized Disney Travel Agent make your reservations you just include your flight information, both arrival and departure. This sets the DME wheels in motion. If you are like me, you make flight reservations way in advance and flight numbers and times can change. If this happens you just call DME at exactly 45 days prior to your arrival (no earlier) and inform of the changes. They will make the adjustments before mailing your paperwork.

Disney’s Stores’ Rent At Airport Reduced By New Contract

Disneys Stores Rent At Airport Reduced By New Contract

According to the Orlando Sentinel Walt Disney Parks & Resorts has negotiated a new contract with Orlando International Airport reducing the amount it pays for it’s two gift shops by hundreds of thousands dollars.

The new contract not only reduces the minimum rent that Disney pays on its two stores in the airport’s main terminal but it is also expected to reduce the percentage of sales that Disney pays for the privilege of selling souvenirs. Disney had argued that it pays higher minimum rents and percentages of its sales than the airport’s other themed-retail stores.

Disney has “The Magic of Disney” store, located at the western end of the terminal and “Disney’s Earport” which is at the eastern end of the terminal, and leads to gates for the airport’s busiest carrier, Southwest Airlines.

Disney defended the newly negotiated contract saying that it accurately reflects changes in business conditions since the last contract was signed.
