That new Brightline train station in Orlando? It’s opening next week! That means you can ride to Walt Disney World and take part in all the Haunted Mansion hoopla and experience the park dressed for Halloween. Donald Duck in a pumpkin suit is a sight not to be missed! Universal Orlando Resort also offers its Halloween Horror Nights and its new Minion Land.
Brightline’s service begins September 22, connecting Orlando with southern Florida cities, joining two other stations that opened last year, Aventura and Boca Raton, as well as Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. What could be better than ditching the car and riding this eco-friendly high-speed rail line?
And if Disney’s not your thing, you can still ride to beaches to squeeze the last bits out of summer since five of the top 10 most beautiful beaches are in Florida. The line leaves straight out of Orlando International Airport, so you can fly in from colder parts of the country to extend your summer.
For a limited time, you can purchase a one-way SMART fare for $79 ($39 for kids), the business class option with hand-stitched leather seats, free wifi, plenty of charging outlets, and food and beverages for sale. If you want to upscale the experience, one-way PREMIUM fares are $149, which include a dedicated first-class lounge, priority boarding, checked luggage and complimentary snacks and beverages. Other promotions exist for corporate riders, students, and travel advisors.
