South Florida and its many visitors will have three different stations to choose from, in Miami, West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, when it comes to getting to Orlando and the Walt Disney World Resort.
Disney Springs will be the home of one station, while Orlando International Airport will house another. Brightline officials have not announced a timeline for the Disney Springs station yet.

The exhibition will be on view until March 14, but bear in mind that certain projects are only viewable on certain days.
6 p.m. Thursday, across downtown Coral Gables; illuminatecoralgables.org. Admission is free.
