Magical Express for arrivals on 12/31/21

[DisneyMommy77]

Hello,
We will be at WDW from 12/18-1/4 staying at various resorts. I have Magical Express already set up for our arrival. Our last resort reservation is 12/31-1/4 at Boardwalk. I noticed on the online Magical Express reservation site it says it is discontinued for ARRIVALS after 12/31.
Can anybody confirm if they will still have departures those first few days in January?

Just thought I would check before I make alternate arrangements or wait on hold for hours by calling
Thanks!

The wording on the Disney website is vague and only talks about ARRIVALS through 12/31/21. They make no specific mention of what happens if your trip begins in 2021 but ends sometime in 2022. I would check with Disney to be sure how your departure plans will work. Does Disney still offer that online chat thing? Typically your wait time using that is lower compared to calling.

A couple weeks ago I read a post from someone arriving in 2021 and leaving in 2022 who confirmed RT transport on DME.

I believe this came in an email from Disney to a travel agent.

Thanks! I bookmarked your post so I can find it again. I’m sure this won’t be the last time this question comes up.

I'll also say I know someone who has a split stay - they couldn't get their whole stay in one booking from 12/29 to 1/7 and the last two nights are room only. She couldn't book the return in advance, but was told that guest services at her hotel can book her return for her when she checks into the hotel on her package booking. (She's also prepared to Uber if necessary.. LOL)

Thanks everyone! I received a confirmation email after I put my request in for a 1/4 departure to MCO.
Sounds like it should work out!
