Is the Express Transportation between parks here to stay?

[EpcotNerd]

When we were in WDW in February it was just being tested out, we tried it and loved it. Going again next February and putting together my touring plans assuming it's still going to exist but maybe that's a bold assumption? Is it a permanent thing now?

It seems popular so I don't see why not

Please please please be available in November!!

If you park hop and don't go back to resort between parks, it is a big time saver so I see it staying.

I certainly hope so!

I'm hoping so!!! Solo trip this October and this will alllow me to do so much more as I hop around all day due to Food & Wine.

I am also going in October and am planning to use this. I wish you could book it in advance.

All signs point to yes, at this time (can you tell I consulted my Magic 8 Ball )

Seriously though, nothing has been said by Disney to indicate that it's going anywhere. They've recently added signage with times to the stops. They are continuing to advertise it. But, we are talking about Disney. They can stop things with no notice at all, even when popular. Heck, they can't even seem to get the park hours set more than 30 days in advance any more. So I'd plan on it but, keep an alternate non-Express Bus plan ready just in case.

I also hope they update the 7-day pass to "length of stay".

I hope so, I think it would be a BIG help during Christmas - New Years week.

Don't know whether this has been reported but I'm here now and stopped by the concierge to purchase the 7 day option. The CM was surprised to see a new option available which he confirmed with his manager. Annual pass holder option for $59 for the full year.

I'm just at the end of my AP and am going to buy the new DVC AP promotion but won't be back till probably January. Decided to just get the 7 day for now but thought this was an awesome deal and if available would definitely purchase in the future.

In any event, this would indicate to me that express transportation is something Disney definitely plans on continuing.

The passholder option is good until the end of the summer, not for a full year. We have information slips about it in the ticket booths that have the exact dates.
