Buckle up and hold on to your seats because the Brightline saga is not over.
Brightline
Brightline is a new service that would give travelers flying into Orlando another option. Orlando International Airport airport is currently adding another terminal to accommodate the train. Once open, it will serve as the hub for the new Brightline train route running from Miami to Orlando. There are also plans in the works for the expansion of this train service throughout Orlando and to Tampa.
As of now, Brightline is over 80% finished. So far, the company has rails running north of Miami, Brevard County and to the Orlando International Airport. It is scheduled to open sometime in 2023. One of the trains recently arrived at Orlando International Airport.
Disney Cancels Plans
Just yesterday, we shared that Disney has canceled plans for the Brightline service from the airport to Disney Springs. Since the ending of Disney’s Magic Express service, guests are limited to options such as MEARS, Sunshine Flyer or using a ride share service.
With so many travelers coming to and from Disney World, it would make sense to give them even more options.
New Plans
Brightline has announced there will be a new station located near the original Disney Springs site for guests to use.
This is exciting news for all guests visiting Walt Disney World and Orlando, Florida!
What do you think of the plans announced from Brightline today? Do you think you will utilize this option when visiting Walt Disney World? Tell us about it in the comments below or on our Facebook page.

This was my first trip without out after going almost every year for the last 16 years. And probably my last for that loss of service. Really took some of the magic away

I have been curious as to whether the property formally known as “crossroads “shopping center will be the site of the Brightline train station? The proximity to Disney Springs is ideal, and off Disney property.They closed the whole shopping plaza and started demolition about six months ago.
