“We have long been open to discussions around the proposed SunRail expansion to Disney Springs and have been engaged with state and community leaders on the topic. This is not to be confused with the agreement we previously had for a Brightline station that Brightline decided not to pursue.”
Brightline initially planned a station at Disney Springs in 2019, but the route changed and the station was scrapped in 2022.
Universal Orlando then proposed a SunRail station near their Epic Universe park. They also created a special tax district to fund construction of a “Sunshine Corridor” connecting Brightline’s Miami line with SunRail in Central Florida.
On April 25th, the Florida Department of Transportation presented ridership and cost estimates for the corridor. These estimates included a potential Disney Springs station, costing between $173 million and $247 million. The total Sunshine Corridor project is estimated at $4.78 billion. Orange County Mayor and SunRail Board Member Jerry Demings emphasized that federal, state, local, and private funding would all be crucial for the project’s success.
