food IS a theme park
The Brightline train is getting closer to connecting Orlando all the way to Miami!

Back in February, we learned that the train’s expansion from West Palm Beach to Orlando was 90% complete and service was expected to start in the second quarter of 2023. The final train in the fleet has also arrived in Central Florida. But now we’ve got another Brightline train update!
The Orlando Brightline train project just hit another major milestone!

We can’t wait for the new route to open, and after recently learning a bit more about the project’s opening timeline we’ve been no-so-patiently waiting for any update we can get. And now, the Orlando Brightline train expansion is one step closer to being complete.
Some important things are changing in and around the Disney parks.
Disney World
New restaurants are going to open soon, a brand NEW ride will soon be available for the public to enjoy, and much more. If you haven’t been keeping up with the latest Disney news, there’s a lot to catch you up on, so sit back, grab a snack, and let’s begin!
Traveling to theme parks and throughout the greater Orlando area might be a whole lot easier — a whole lot sooner.
Brightline Terminal C Train Construction
We’ve been keeping a close eye on the Brightline train being built to connect Orlando and South Florida, which at one point was slated to have a stop at Disney Springs. Unfortunately, that’s no longer the case, but a station is still coming to the Orlando Airport. We hadn’t heard much about when this line will open for passenger service, but now we know more!
There’s been ANOTHER update on the airport train set to come to Orlando!

For months we’ve been watching for updates on the Brightline train set to connect South Florida to Orlando and beyond. It went from a confirmed station in Disney Springs to the end of that plan and only the possibility of a station “near” Disney. The train’s path has gradually evolved and we’ve gotten a peek at some of the things complicating its future. But now we have more news.
It will soon be much easier to get around Florida!
Brightline train at Orlando Airport
The Brightline high-speed rail won’t connect Orlando International Airport directly to Disney Springs as originally planned, but it’ll still get you pretty close. Not only that, but there will also be a stop near Universal Orlando. And now, we’ve got another update on the Brightline train and its potential stop near Disney World.
The expansion of high-speed rail in Florida is continuing!

Sure, we’re still disappointed that the train won’t connect Orlando International Airport directly to Disney Springs, as originally planned, but high-speed trains will soon be able to take you to other parts of Florida, including to and from the Orlando International Airport, quickly and efficiently. Now we’ve got the latest update on some stations the Brightline trains are servicing!
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, NO — it’s the Brightline high-speed train!
Brightline train at Orlando Airport
And, it’s coming to an airport near you — well, if you live near Orlando International Airport (MCO), that is. The new train route will take guests from MCO to stops throughout the city (and near Disney World!) and now, we’re one step closer to being able to climb aboard!

And, even though the train will no longer be making a stop at Disney World, it’ll still get you pretty close — not to mention it will be near Universal Orlando’s new Epic Universe park as well. Although we still don’t know when exactly theme park-goers and travelers alike will be able to hop aboard — it looks like we’re getting closer to the Brightline train opening!
The Brightline train is an exciting new addition for many Florida residents.

Earlier this year it was revealed that Disney backed out of the Brightline train deal, but the current train route will still stop near Disney World and run close to Universal Orlando’s new park, Epic Universe. This new train isn’t just for theme park visitors though — it will provide a new method of transportation for many around the area. But how much will the new train really help the state’s infrastructure needs? The U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary had some thoughts to share on the matter.
