2.5 hrs? You must be faster than me, it takes me 3 hrs from Deerfield lol.
Interesting concept I’ll have to watch for details to see if it’s cheaper. I fly into FLL to visit family and have a rental car while there. When I drive up to WDW I return Alamo car to car care centre after check in. So wonder if this will be cost effective for me with having to also pay for car service pick up at train station. Does train stop at Tri Rail stations?
Let's just say my wife REALLY likes going to Disney, she typically drives on the way up, I just close my eyes and 2 1/2 hours later we're there! What speed she did getting there is anyone's guess But we also live in Central PBC so we're probably about 20-30 mins up the Turnpike from Deerfield.
Brightline has been very tight-lipped about its pricing model, they did not announce pricing for the Fort Lauderdale to West Palm stretch until a day or two before trains started running, so there is no telling how much it will cost for a seat to Orlando. The current run is $10-15 for about a half hour trip. Brightline runs on FEC tracks instead of CSX which is where Tri-Rail runs, it also has very limited stops unlike Tri-Rail, right now only 2 at Fort Lauderdale and West Palm. The train does not go near Disney but instead the plan for Orlando is to terminate at where else but MCO! So if Disney jumps on this I'd imagine they will start offering ME for train passengers once the service launches.
