food IS a theme park
If the autonomy of Disney rides freaks you out a little, this news is sure to blow your socks off.
Disneyland’s Autopia
We’re in the age of artificial intelligence, and with that comes some wild new frontiers. We’ve seen it in our entertainment, in our theme parks, and now, we’re about to see it on the streets.
When you’re on vacation, how do you get around?

In Disney World, there are a few ways to get from place to place with free transportation around the parks, but occasionally using rideshare platforms makes the most sense. Are you not renting a car and need to get to that reservation ASAP? Sometimes a Disney bus just isn’t going to cut it. Scheduling a Lyft is a great way to get where you need to go, and now they are rolling out a new program to help select drivers and passengers feel safer.
Many Disney fans would say that getting to Magic Kingdom is one of the hardest transportation challenges.

Why is that, you ask? Well, you can’t park, take a bus, ferryboat, monorail, or a rideshare straight to Magic Kingdom, you have to pass through the TTC (Transportation & Ticket Center). Needless to say, we go to the TTC a lot, and we noticed a small change today that we LOVE.
Disney World is constantly changing, which is part of why so many of us want to revisit it over and over.
EPCOT
Some changes are great, like the new Shiki-Sai restaurant that just opened in EPCOT. Some changes are controversial, and we know so many of our readers are still frustrated about Genie+. Some changes, though, have been going under the radar, like Disney World was hoping we didn’t notice.

We know that Disney bus, Monorail, Skyliner, and boat transportation IS convenient, but sometimes you don’t have as much time to wait for that free transportation and need to get somewhere a little faster (or somewhere Disney transportation can’t get you to easily). But if you’re heading to EPCOT via rideshare anytime soon, we’ve got an update to share with you.
For many years, Disney World Resort guests had the opportunity to use Disney World Magical Express to travel to and from the airport. But in 2021, after the 2020 closure and reopening, Disney announced that this opportunity would be coming to an end.
Gone but not forgotten🥲
As of January 1, 2022, Disney World discontinued the Magical Express airport transportation service. Here is what we know.
