Disney World Scraps Five Familiar On‑Site Hotel Perks for 2026
Phased rollbacks shift the value equation for staying on property.
Overview
- Complimentary MagicBands no longer come with resort bookings, with guests purchasing MagicBand+ separately.
- Individual toiletry bottles have been replaced at most hotels by wall-mounted dispensers, ending the take-home souvenirs.
- Traditional room service has largely been removed, and in-park merchandise is no longer delivered to resort rooms or front desks.
- Disney’s free Magical Express airport shuttle ended in 2022, requiring separate, paid transportation between Orlando International Airport and the resorts.
- Remaining on-site advantages include internal transportation, hotel dining, free overnight parking, and earlier booking windows for Lightning Lane and dining reservations.
