A Blog About Disney Stuff

For Guests who are traveling to the Walt Disney World Resort and utilizing Disney’s Magical Express to get them to their Walt Disney World Resort Hotel, there have been some changes that you need to be aware of.

During the initial reopening phase, while the complimentary airport transportation option is still available for Guests arriving and departing from Orlando International Airport, beginning on July 16, Disney’s Magical Express service will not be providing luggage delivery service for those arriving to and departing from the airport. What this means is that Guests will need to make sure they pick up their own luggage first from the baggage claim area and then head to the Disney’s Magical Express section of the airport. In addition, Guests who are departing the resort to head back to the airport will also need to bring their luggage with them on the bus. The resort airline check-in service will not be offered at this time.

Luggage assistance will be available at the front of your Disney Resort hotel, including luggage storage, as well as the ability to assist you by transporting your luggage to the room.

Also, during these times of uncertainty, many airlines are modifying their flight schedules, so you will want to make sure that you contact Disney’s Magical Express to let them know of any changes to your flight information.

It looks like some major changes are coming to shopDisney for the limited edition releases! A new MerchPass System has been introduced for the upcoming Arendelle Disney Castle Collection. This new system was announced on the shopDisney website Thursday, July 9th.

MerchPass System

This is being treated as a “promotion” through the shopDisney website. Most likely because it is being done as a lottery system. Lottery systems used to be used a lot for limited releases previously but haven’t been prevalent much in the past couple of years. Between July 13 at 7:00 AM PDT, and July 14 at 11:59 PM PDT guests can enter for early access drawings, to reserve an opportunity to purchase high-demand items. This is only open to legal residents of the 50 U.S. & D.C. who are 18+ at time of entry.

There will be a limit of 1 entry per person per item offered in Promotion. The random drawing is to be held on about July 16th, and entrants will be notified via e-mail by July 16th at 5:00 PM PDT if selected.

If your entry is selected, you have through July 17, 2020, to purchase the item at the designated price. Be sure to check the FAQ and promotional terms for all the details!

What do you think of the new MerchPass System for purchasing limited edition items on shopDisney?
