Disney World Hotels Drop Seven Perks as Prices Rise
Visitors now question the premium for on‑property stays following the loss of long‑standing conveniences.
Overview
- Recent coverage identifies seven removed or reduced perks: park‑to‑hotel package delivery, room service at most resorts, complimentary breakfast, Magical Express, take‑home toiletries, MagicBand+ discounts, and complimentary Disney+ access.
- Room service now persists only at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, with most guests directed to food courts or mobile ordering.
- Disney ended MagicBand+ discounts for resort guests and Annual Passholders in early October 2025, making bands full price.
- Disney’s Magical Express has not returned and airport transfers now require paid options such as Mears Connect.
- Some benefits remain, including Early Theme Park Entry, on‑property transportation, and free overnight parking, but broad increases in room, food, merchandise, ticket, and pass prices are fueling guest frustration and off‑site comparisons.
