Mears Connect, the transportation service that operated the now-defunct Disney’s Magical Express service and stepped in to fill the void left by the sunsetting of Magical Express, is set to roll out some exciting updates this fall, enhancing the travel experience between Orlando International Airport and the Walt Disney World Resort.

This summer, Mears Connect delighted passengers by giving away collectible stickers featuring their iconic Connect buses, a gesture that quickly became a hit. However, the fun doesn’t stop there—there’s even more in store as the fall season approaches.

In September, Mears Connect will introduce a new activity book designed specifically for young travelers. The Mears Connect-themed books will come with crayons and feature 10 pages of engaging content, including stories about their charming animal characters—Doc, Fran, Frank, Thomas, and Maisy—along with puzzles and coloring activities. These books are sure to be a big hit with children, making the journey even more enjoyable for families.

The most significant update, however, will be the revamp of the in-ride video entertainment, a feature familiar to those who fondly remember Disney’s Magical Express. Mears Connect isn’t just refreshing its content; it’s enhancing the entire experience. While popular elements like the Mears Connect animal pals and trivia segments will remain, new content tailored for both arrivals and departures will be introduced. The goal is to ensure that Mears Connect becomes the first and last attraction of the trip, allowing guests to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride from start to finish.
