Brightline and the Walt Disney World Resort announced on Monday (23) that they have entered into an agreement to build a train station at Disney Springs.
The Brightline station will add a new travel option between Walt Disney World and Orlando International Airport.
It will also connect guests from Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach and planned stations in Aventura, Boca Raton and Port Miami, Brightline officials said.
Brightline's expansion from West Palm Beach to Orlando International Airport is scheduled for completion in 2022.
The agreement with Disney still depends on the railway company obtaining government approvals.
It is not clear when construction of the project should begin.
"Brightline will offer a 'car-free' connection to the millions of visitors from across the state and around the world who plan to include Walt Disney World Resort in their vacation plans," said Patrick Goddard, president of Brightline. "Our mission has always been to connect our guests to the people and places that matter, and Walt Disney World Resort is a tremendous example of that."
"We are 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 and innovative transportation solution for our community and guests," said Jeff Vahle, president of Walt Disney World Resort.
In 2018, Brightline was awarded the right to sign leases with the Florida Department of Transportation and the Central Florida Expressway Authority to connect Orlando International Airport and Tampa.
No route has been selected for the extension to Tampa.
