Have they provided paid shared coach transportation to the Disney hotels in the past? Are you sure?
Why, when they provide free transportation to the Disney hotels? (Mears is contracted to run the Magical Express buses on Disney's behalf) Why would anyone choose to pay to get a shared coach transfer to their Disney hotel when there exists a frequent dedicated service that does the same thing for free?

Yes they have. In 2010 we booked with Virgin Holidays and our booking included coach transfers. They were provided by Mears. They stopped at several Disney resorts before ours. They were a plain coach with no Disney branding but otherwise identical.
For the return journey they picked us up at DTD (as it was then). They didn’t send a big enough minibus so we had to wait till they sent a coach. It was awful (not least because we had to use a taxi to get to DTD with luggage). Service was not good. We didn’t know we could have cancelled the coach transfer, got a refund and used ME for free. |

Because they are unaware of it I guess? I had no idea it was free for all tbh and assumed it was only if you booked direct with Disney as opposed to booking the hotel via Expedia for example.

Ah ok. Thanks. I guess if people were unaware that the free ME service existed then they'd pay for a shared transfer to the Disney hotels.
(BTW, just for info, some of the ME buses were plain without any Disney branding. We went on one once) Anyway, as Mears are paid by Disney to provide the ME transport, this will be a loss to them. Hence, why I think they are considering providing an equivalent service, but this would be a paid service (of course!).

Excited about Disney

why do people think there will be a replacement rail service in 2021.
I know something was mentioned in various news outlets but no definitive dates. if you take into account the logistics of getting a new rail network setup, just acquiring the land to lay track on will take years. look how long it has taken to do the sunrail project in Orlando and it is still nowhere near finished. I am guessing that a project of this size will be 5 year+ if all goes well |

It's already been mentioned that it's estimated the Orlando to Tampa line (which will pass through, and stop at, Disney Springs) will open in 2025.
I think some people had read that the West Palm Beach to Orlando extension was due to open in 2022 and incorrectly assumed this applied to the trainline from MCO to Disney Springs. Or something?
