The multi-million dollar project to expand Brightline to Disney Springs has been canceled, a representative with Disney confirmed to the Orlando Business Journal Monday evening.
The train will now travel directly from International Drive in Orlando to Tampa.
Disney spokesman Avery Maehrer released a statement that said the "new route configuration does not support a Disney Springs station and, as a result, we don't anticipate being part of this project."
Brightline announced its agreement with Disney World to build the train station at Disney Springs in November 2020.
The high-speed passenger train currently has stops in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach.
Disney had nixed plans for a train station to help connect guests from the airport and beyond. Here's the latest. https://t.co/HXMWdeTI4e
