This can be amplified, especially, if you’re flying into Orlando International Airport.
While there aren’t a ton of streamlined options right now, it seems that a plan could be in the works for the future of travel in the Central Florida area and Universal Orlando Resort is a major backer.
SunRail, which provides train transportation, is currently exploring how to get people to and from the Orlando International Airport and the attractions. The Sunshine Corridor would include a Brightline higher-speed train that would carry visitors from the airport to the Orange County Convention Center and then to South International Drive, according to reports by Fox 35.
The massive plan would cost upwards of $1 billion, but it seems that Universal Orlando is willing to invest heavily in the initiative.
Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer announced on Thursday that Universal would finance up to $125 million and pledge 14 acres of land for free. While nothing has been announced for the transportation route, this makes many believe that Universal– and possibly other theme parks– could be potential stops in the future.
At this point, nothing has been reported about Walt Disney World but it should be noted that many Disney Park Guests have reported difficulties getting to their Disney Resort from Orlando International Airport.
