Brightline train station will connect Disney Springs to OIA

Orlando, Fla. — Brightline and Walt Disney World Resort announce an agreement to build a train station at Disney Springs, the company’s shopping and dining district near Orlando’s attractions.

The train would connect to a station at Orlando International Airport, which is currently under construction.

“We’re excited to work with Brightline as they pursue the potential development of a train station at Walt Disney World Resort, a project that would support our local economy and offer a bold, forward-looking transportation solution for our community and guests,” said Jeff Vahle, president of Walt Disney World Resort.

The proposed station at Disney Springs near Disney World’s four theme parks is designed to include a lobby on the ground level, passenger facilities and an upper level train platform.

Brightline’s expansion from West Palm Beach to Orlando International Airport is slated to be finished in 2022.

The train will eventually connect Orlando International Airport to Tampa.

In February 2020, Brightline began engineering and design work for the OIA-to-Tampa project.
