Train service in florida stopping as Disney Springs

The new train service looks like it will provide a great service for locals but I think tourist will benefit a lot.
Travel to Tampa or Miami via Disney Springs sounds great to cover airports in the area
Here's the latest info, who knows it may be finished by the time we are able to travel

With the legalities being faced for the desired routing and the public unhappiness, the 5 years to construct the spur from MCO to Disney Springs is likely to be a while away from getting underway yet.

The construction on the route from Miami to MCO is well underway. The extension to Disney Springs and Tampa is much further in the future.

It is worth typing ""Brightline into the search function on the Dibb as ther have been a few threads already about this. The plan for the MCO-DisneySprings stations doesn't seem to be generating as much positivity as you would think as the plans on how Disney guests get from DS to their hotel have not been finalised so leaves a lot in the air so far.

The line reached the halfway mark to Orlando a few weeks ago and there was a live Facebook broadcast. The line itself has already been running up to West Palm Beach for some time. It will mean that when fully operational it will do away with the problem of driving to Miami to catch your homebound flight and hitting the rush hour.
