Disney World Cast Members are some of the most special people on Earth — they go out of their way to make sure that each guest has a magical time while at the resort.

And Disney World is hiring! We’ve already told you about some job fairs and hiring bonuses, but we’ve got ANOTHER job fair to share with you!
We know there’s nothing quite like coming up to that first glimpse of Magic Kingdom, especially if it’s your first visit to Disney World!
50th Train Station
Unless you’re coming from one of the Magic Kingdom area resorts, your MK day will likely be starting at the Ticket and Transportation Center. From here, you can grab one of the two iconic forms of Disney transportation — the monorail or the ferry boat — and make your way across Seven Seas Lagoon. However, there’s another way you can get to Magic Kingdom that people tend to sleeping on.
Thinking of going to Disney World for the VERY first time?
Welcome to Disney World!

The thing we found today definitely looks like it has spent some time in Westview and has been trying to break out!
Planning on going on a Disney Cruise that departs from or arrives back at Port Canaveral in Florida?
Disney Cruise Line
Previously, a lot of guests would just hop directly on a Disney bus to get from their hotel or Orlando International Airport to Port Canaveral and then start their Disney cruise adventure. With the announcement that Disney’s Magical Express will be discontinued in 2022, you might be wondering if you’ll still be able to take Disney transportation to and from the airport and Port Canaveral, or between your Disney hotel and Port Canaveral. And now we’ve got an update.
With the New Year comes the return of park hopping at Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
And even though this is a new park hopping process than it was before, we’re taking a look at park to park transportation! Today is the first day this transportation option is available since Disney World’s closure in March of 2020, so we couldn’t wait to see what changed (or didn’t) with the new park hopping system!
We’ve seen quite a few changes in Disney World recently! LOTS of festive decorations have gone up recently, and holiday snacks are popping up around the parks and resorts (one of which wasn’t even sure what holiday it was celebrating!), and the Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance morning boarding group sign-up process has changed.

And just about all of us took a different method of transportation to get here! See what our team experienced driving their own cars to Disney World today as well as riding the monorail and using the Disney World buses to get to the gates of Magic Kingdom! We also checked out the ferryboats on our way out of the park today too!
Now that we’ve used Disney World’s new Mobile Dine Check-In and experienced our first character meal (all while navigating Disney’s new Park Pass Reservation System which launched today) we’ve had a little time to go diggin’ around for more details regarding Disney World’s phased reopening!

We’ve just learned that unlike Disney World theme park guests, resorts guests will not be required to undergo mandatory temperature screenings for the time being.
With the parks closed until at least the end of March in response to the coronavirus outbreak, Disney World has scaled back the transportation options available to guests.

The Disney World parks will be closed from the end of the day on Sunday, March 15th through at least the end of the month.
