A new way to get to Disney World – The Sunshine Flyer
A new themed motorcoach bus experience called The Sunshine Flyer that will take guests from the Orlando International Airport to Walt Disney World Resorts is being launched by Transportation Management Services.
The Sunshine Flyer’s busses are late model, premium motorcoaches with themes that center around old-fashioned passenger cars and train engines. The motorcoaches effectively serve as time machines, offering a glimpse into 1920s rail travel. The staff will be dressed as 1920s rail conductors and engineers.
The buses will serve all Disney resorts and are complete with a bathroom, USB chargers and three-point seatbelts.
The Sunshine Flyer will begin service from Orlando International Airport on Feb. 1, 2022. Pre-sales are available now. Guests will need to book their tickets ahead of travel online at sunshineflyer.com. They will receive a QR code they will scan once arriving at Orlando International Airport which will ensure smooth timing and departures to the resorts. Tickets for The Sunshine Flyer must be booked at least four days ahead of arrival. Tickets are $17 per adult, $12.50 per child each way.
“We’re incredibly excited to launch The Sunshine Flyer and give Disney guests the chance to kickstart their vacation with a fun, unique travel experience,” TMS CEO Frank Sherman said in a news release. “Everyone knows the magic of Disney once they’re inside the park gates. But, through The Sunshine Flyer, we’re able to give guests the chance to start their vacation from the minute they step off the plane and turn what used to be a procedural drive into the beginning of an adventure to remember.”
The Sunshine Flyer will offer transportation to all Walt Disney World Resort destinations in Orlando, including Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s All Star Movies Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and more.
This is the second service that has been created to fill the gap being created when Disney’s Magical Express closes down at the end of the year. The other service is Mears Connect.
In celebration of Disney’s 50th anniversary, the Sunshine Flyer will donate 50% of all revenue from the first 50,000 passengers during the first 50 days of business to Make-A-Wish Central & Northern Florida.
TMS has over 25 years of experience as a large events transportation company working with world-class events such as the FIFA World Cup, NBA Finals and various PGA TOUR Tournaments.
