The Case for Bringing Back Disney World Perks (Ep. 22)
JUL 1, 202635 MIN
Description
Jim Hill presides over another not-so-weighty session of The Case For as Len Testa and Chris Cox debate which lost Walt Disney World guest services deserve a comeback. Inspired by a listener email about resort package delivery, the trio weighs the case for bringing back in-park purchase delivery, Magical Express, resort airline check-in, wider Extra Magic Hours access, longer park days, and even those wonderfully impractical resort mugs. Along the way, they consider whether these old perks were just guest-service niceties or clever ways for Disney to keep visitors shopping, dining, and planning their next trip.
HIGHLIGHTS
• Why resort package delivery may have quietly shaped how much merchandise guests bought in the parks
• The argument for bringing back Magical Express as both transportation and a moving Disney marketing moment
• How resort airline check-in is starting to return in limited form for select Value Resort guests
• Whether Extra Magic Hours should once again be available to more Disney resort hotel guests
• Why Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom may have the strongest case for longer operating hours
