Disney4me Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 The Orlando Airport Brightline train is a game-changer when it comes to traveling to Disney World. It’s fast, convenient, and comfortable! However, there’s one BIG issue that we have to warn you about. Brightline train If you’re planning to use the Brightline train to get to Disney World, you’ll need to plan a few things in advance, and one of the most important things to figure out ahead of your trip is PARKING. Here’s our WARNING about parking for the Orlando Airport Brightline train: It can be a huge pain if you don’t plan ahead. You could arrive at the Orlando Airport on the day of your trip just to find out that all of the parking garages are full. In fact, it happens pretty regularly that those garages fill up completely. To avoid the headache and panic, you can plan ahead by knowing all the options for parking and even (in some cases) reserving your spot! Parking Garage Here’s a complete guide to parking at the Orlando Airport Brightline Train station, with several different options laid out. Where Is the Brightline Orlando Train Station? The Brightline train station at the Orlando International Airport is connected to the new Terminal C. ©Orlando International Airport On the map above, you can see that it’s not part of the main Terminal C building but is instead connected to the parking garage. You can easily walk from Terminal C to the train station (it just takes about 15 minutes). Where Should You Park? WallyPark — Brightline Recommends! Brightline recommends that guests use WallyPark to park their car and then take the provided shuttle service to the station. In fact, anyone with a Brightline train ticket gets guaranteed parking at the WallyPark lot! According to the Brightline website, “Brightline Guests can enjoy 30% off standard daily rates and park for less than $10 a day” with WallyPark. ©WallyPark To use WallyPark, you can go online and reserve your spot ahead of time. This is the only way to reserve a parking spot at the Orlando Airport, so it’s the least stressful option when it comes to being fully prepared for your trip. It’s especially important to reserve your spot during busy seasons, like summer break and the holidays. There is currently a notice on the Brightline website that reads: “Due to heavy holiday traffic, we recommend parking at WallyPark. If WallyPark online reservations are not available, show your Brightline ticket at the WallyPark gate to redeem your guaranteed parking spot.” ©WallyPark With your spot reserved, all you have to do is show up on the day of your trip, show your reservation, park, and then hop on the shuttle to the Brightline Orlando Train Station. The WallyPark shuttle takes you right to the station, so you don’t have to walk through Terminal C to get there (you’ll get to skip that 15-minute walk). Terminal C WallyPark recommends allowing about 45 minutes for parking and shuttle service, so make sure you arrive pretty early before your train’s departure time. During particularly busy travel times, it’s recommended that you allow for even more time, up to an hour and a half. WallyPark has 24/7 business hours, so it’s a good option no matter what time your train is departing. Here’s the WallyPark address: 5601 Butler National Dr. Orlando, Fl 32812. Garage Parking If you prefer garage parking, you can park your car in Parking Garage C. During busy times, this is likely to fill up quickly each day. ©Orlando International Airport Parking Garage C is located very close to the Brightline Orlando Station. Once you arrive at the airport, you can follow blue signs that should point you to Parking Garage C. You can park in any available spot and then go to Level 5 of the garage to find the skyway bridge, which connects you to the train station. It’s about a five-minute walk from the garage to the station. Here’s the cost to park in Parking Garage C: Grace period for the first 20 minutes $2 for 21 to 30 minutes, then $1 for each additional 15 minutes up to a maximum of $24, then $24 per 24-hour period Here are some more details: ©Orlando International Airport If the garage is full, you can check out some other parking options.
