food IS a theme park
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
Guardians of the Galaxy
Is Fantasmic construction nearing completion? There’s a cheese shortage in Disney World? Robot security guards? Chef Art Smith is moving to the Orlando Airport?
Disney’s Magical Express was recently discontinued at the start of 2022…but we just spotted a trace of this piece of Disney history in the parks!
We’ll miss you, Magical Express
Disney’s Magical Express was the complimentary ground transportation service that took Disney World hotel guests to and from Orlando International Airport. The company that provided the service, Mears, now offers a similar paid option for guests, in addition to several other ground transportation services that are available for a fee. But there is still a trace of Disney’s Magical Express left in the parks (for now, at least!) that allows fans the chance to take home a reminder of this piece of Disney history!
Back in October 2021, Disney World kicked off its 18-month long 50th Anniversary celebration!
Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom
In honor of the celebration, we’ve seen a TON of new things pop up around the parks and resorts. That includes new merchandise, entertainment, decor, and, of course, ALLLLL of the snacks! Some of the specialty snacks aren’t scheduled to be around for the entire 18-month celebration. In fact, we’ve already seen a bunch of anniversary treats disappear AND a group of new ones make their debut.
At the beginning of this year, Disney World officially discontinued the Magical Express service.
Disney’s Magical Express
This service offered free transportation to and from Orlando International Airport for guests staying at Disney World hotels. With Magical Express discontinued, the company that provided the transportation for Disney, Mears, has now begun offering airport transfer services which guests can purchase separately.

Disney Vault Collection
In honor of Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, we’ve seen a lot of new merchandise in the parks over the last few months since the celebration began back in October 2021. One of the most popular 50th Anniversary lines has been the Vault Collection, which includes vintage-inspired apparel, memorabilia, and more. And today, we spotted another piece from the Vault Collection that’s bringing some SERIOUS nostalgia!

Figment Popcorn Bucket and NEW Festival rainbow lighting on Spaceship Earth!
Price increases have hit Disney World, we’ve got new vaccine requirements that will affect future Disney cruises, more supply chain issues, more restaurants reopening and how long would you wait for a popcorn bucket?
In the past few weeks, we’ve gotten used to seeing some HUGE crowds in Disney World!
Main Street on New Year’s
The holiday season is typically super busy in Disney World, and the parks have definitely been noticeably people-y in recent weeks. But even though it’s been busy overall, we did notice a few surprisingly empty places in Disney’s Hollywood Studios yesterday. And that trend continued in another park today!
