We’ve been closely following the progress on the Brightline train in Florida!

The train will directly transport guests from the Orlando International Airport to a stop in Disney Springs, which will be super helpful when the Magical Express service is discontinued in January 2022. While the train’s Disney Springs stop was originally due to open in 2023, it has been delayed to 2026. But now, construction has reached a BIG milestone!

Construction on the Brightline train’s line from Miami to Orlando has officially passed the halfway point! Officials marked the milestone today, according to a tweet by Fox 35.

As we mentioned, the Disney Springs station is now expected to open in 2026, so it’ll be a while before you can use this train to get to and from Disney. That station is still marked as a “future expansion,” so construction may not have even begun on that line yet.
