4. MagicMobile service coming soon
Guests will have a new option for entering the parks soon called MagicMobile, which is a brand new smartphone-based technology will allow guests to store tickets, passes, and more right on their phone through the My Disney Experience app and then scan it at the front of the theme park to gain admission. MagicMobile also supports several digital wallet systems (including smartwatch digital wallets like the one found on the Apple Watch), so guests who don't want to use My Disney Experience will have options when it comes to accessing their tickets. Though this option will be available on all mobile platforms Disney has confirmed that the MagicMobile service will roll out first on Apple devices.

According to the official Walt Disney World calendar this attraction will be unavailable beginning March 29 2021 through to at least May 22 2021, which is the furthest date published on the operating hours calendar. Given this it seems likely that refurbishment will extend beyond this date.
6. Brightline Disney Springs station could be open by 2027
One of the biggest projects in the state of Florida right now is the Brightline high speed rail, which will eventually connect Miami to the Orlando International Airport, which will then have a line that goes directly to Disney Springs. And now the company has said that they anticipate construction to start on this part of the project by mid 2023, with work potentially finishing in late 2026, which means this new station could be open by 2027!

Am I reading this correctly...With the finish of the Disney Spings station of the Brightline High Speed Rail not anticipated until 2027; isn't it premature to do away with the Magical Express in 2022?
