Magical Express Carried its Final PassengersĪnd finally, we have to talk about the biggie… Magical Express. Health and safety changes happened frequently. We’ve also noticed quite the fluctuation in capacity limits for things like buses and Skyliner gondolas - buses and monorails are now stuffing in as many guests as possible, and gondolas are seating more than one party again. Even when masks weren’t required for a short while in Disney World, they were still required on some forms of transportation. You can get (almost) anywhere with Disney transportation! Tons of Rule ChangesĪnd throughout the year, we’ve had quite a few health and safety rule changes for Disney transportation. Keep in mind that some of these options only run beginning in the afternoon, closer to that 2PM Park Hopping time constraint. At first, we were limited to just buses, the Skyliner, and the Friendship Boats, but the EPCOT monorail came back later on. When Park Hopping started back up on January 1, 2021, it made sense that park-to-park transportation returned with it. Disney hasn’t yet released dates for the return of trams to the other three Parks, but we’re ready for them to come back in 2022! They’re coming back! Park-to-Park Transportation Came Back They were shut down and tucked away in the back corners of the parking lots for nearly two years, and in December, they came back to Magic Kingdom. One big change that we were really thrilled about was the return of the parking lot trams. Be on the lookout for the special designs throughout the next 18 months! It’s the Most Magical Skyliner on Earth! Buses Got Some Fun MessagesĪnd speaking of the 50th Anniversary, the buses got some unique messages for the occasion! Instead of the front screens reading their usual catchphrases, you might catch a bus that says “Celebrating 50 Years of Castle Proposals” or “Celebrating 50 Years of Turkey Legs.” (Although we’re not exactly sure WHO is celebrating that one!) The buses have fun messages on them! Trams Are Back…Almost Multiple Skyliner gondolas and buses got 50th Anniversary wraps as well as one of the monorail trains, Monorail Gold. They seriously look fresh and so much more up to date and modern! Monorail yellow got a new look! 50th Anniversary Wrapsįor the 50th Anniversary, Disney was determined to celebrate in every conceivable way, so the decorations even extended to the various transportation options. EPCOT monorail The Monorails Got A Fresh New LookĪnd speaking of monorails, they got a fresh new look this year! One by one, the various trains got interior updates, with new seats, upholstery, paint, and graphics. It makes park travel a little bit easier, especially for guests at monorail resorts. We understood why it wasn’t open at first (no Park Hopping!), but even after Park Hopping returned, we had to rely on the bus for six months before monorail service resumed from EPCOT to the TTC.

So today we’re going back in time (a week or so) to round up the full list of ways that Disney World transportation changed in 2021!Ī long-awaited change in Disney World was the reopening of the EPCOT monorail.
In fact, there were so many changes over the 12 months that it was hard to keep track of all of them. We had monorail shutdowns and Skyliner crashes, the return of Park Hopping, and the loss of Magical Express. Last year was a big year for Disney transportation! What a year for Disney transportation!
