The Dragon Boat Races on October 16, 2010 will disrupt daytime water launches between Downtown Disney and three Walt Disney World resort hotels.

On Tuesday it was announced that Alamo had renewed its sponsorship agreement at the Disney theme parks.  With rental locations at the Magic Kingdom-area Car Care Center, Epcot-area Dolphin Resort, Disneyland's Downtown Disney as well as nearby airports, Alamo provides a convenient solution for guests seeking a limited time vehicle rentals or an alternative to Disney's Magical Express.

Website WDWMagic.com is reporting that the Downtown Disney Marketplace bus stops will be closed for refurbishment from September 21 - 26, 2009.  During the refurbishment all Downtown Disney guests must use the Pleasure Island bus stops.

Looking for an alternative to Disney's Magical Express?  Our friends at WDW Newsletter are running a contest with the grand prize of free round-trip limo service between Walt Disney World and Orlando International Airport. 

The prize must be redeemed by December 31, 2009 so please enter only if you can use it!  Deadline for entry is May 23, 2009.  Click HERE for complete details.

Starting on March 30, 2009, Disney's Magical Express will no longer offer luggage retrieval service for arrivals to Orlando International Airport after 10:00pm. Guests will have to get their own luggage at the baggage claim area and report to the Magical Express motor coach. They will then be transported to their on-site hotel. This will allow late-arriving guests to have access to their bags without any delays.

Luggage delivery service will still be provided to guests arriving at MCO from 5:00am until 10:00pm.
