That would have been convenient. What I think they should do is work with the other major parks (Universal, SeaWorld) to build a maglev to a specific hub where you can then split off and go directly to the park. This way it's not specific to Disney (appeases some, not all, naysayers) and you still get Airport-to-Disney train access. Of course that means Disney loses some control but I think it'll be a net positive for them overall.
Here's a driving map from the Orlando Airport to all the parks I mentioned above. You can see there's a central area not far from SeaWorld that could a good place to build this hub:

- Symbiote 3y agoIf you build normal railway line instead, you can run direct trains from many other towns and cities, in addition to metro/commuter-style fast connections from Orlando / Orlando Airport. Disneyworld Paris has a normal station within it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marne-la-Vall%C3%A9e%E2%80%93Chessy_station https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marne-la-Vall%C3%A9e%E2%80%93C...
- Animats 3y agoDisney wanted to build a 7-minute maglev ride from Orlando Airport to Disney properties, with no other stops.[1] "“Obviously, it makes no sense to operate a train at 350 miles an hour and have it make a stop every four miles.” - Disney rep. It would have been a huge competitive win for Disney. People who took that route would not rent cars. Car rental, once you're on Disney property, is deliberately inconvenient, involving bus travel off the property. [1] https://archive.ph/He0tR https://archive.ph/He0tR
