We did stop by the counter to print our tickets for the QR codes we needed for entry into the track terminal. Staff were friendly and helpful. I even noticed an Orlando Police Department Officer assisting travelers with scanning QR codes and directing others into the terminal. We were early so we had a seat in the waiting area that's located between the convenience/gift shop and Mary Mary bar. They were multiple seating options but limited amount of seats. It was recommended to us to get there early if we wanted to be able to sit while we wait. We chose a set of 4 large blue chairs with a table in the center. The seats were comfortable and the table provided us with space to have a snack before the trip. Our train was on time and we boarded as scheduled.

In the sense that you will eventually get to your destination for a price that is lower than flying…read moreand without the stress of driving, they get 2 stars. But I wouldn't recommend traveling by train if you are alone, especially if the travel times are not convenient. I traveled from Tampa to Jacksonville on a Sunday evening. The train arrived about 40 minutes late, and because the station is under construction, everyone was lined up at the platform in Florida heat at that time. Not fun. Not enough seating for everyone at the platform. There are no seat reservations for standard seats on this train. If you are traveling in a group, the porters will make sure you are seated together. But if you are traveling alone, you will be at the mercy of chance, and I lost that gamble during the trip. I spent my journey uncomfortable and stressed out. There is a cafe, but I did not go there. I didn't feel comfortable leaving my work computer at my seat unattended, and I didn't want to have to heft my computer bag and purse all the way to the dining car. Thankfully, I had packed a snack, so that sustained me for the 6+ hour journey. There's wifi, but it was not great, and my phone kept switching to using the 5G. The bathroom was pretty foul. I limited my water consumption to avoid using it, but I could smell it from my seat. We started 40 minutes late, but by the time we got to Jacksonville, we were more than an hour behind schedule. That meant I got to Jacksonville after 11pm, which wasn't great as a single female traveler. My employer is headquartered in Jacksonville, and there's no direct flight from Tampa. But based on my experience, I do not think the train is an option. I will have to drive the next time.

We ordered a couple cocktails, got familiar with the menu, the story and then jumped into the apps. The cheese, grapes and crackers were things I actually buy and put out for apps, so it's nothing fancy. The cocktails were average but tasty. The food wasn't spectacular but it was pretty good. The key lime pie was VERY good! The show, actors, murder mystery and the train ride was truly the best part! They were all really great and it was a lot of fun! I was so excited to get to do this with some friends and they change the show very so often so you could go about every month and do a new one! It's a good ways away for me, but I would definitely do this again!

From the side of the road, you will see a truck dealership and the GPS might lead you only to the school district and Sheriff's Juvenile learning center. The one saving sign was off to a corner with an arrow that guides you to the railway. Inside the station, I was greeted right away by a young lady and the place was was clean. Although it was not very big, there was an assortment of train souvenirs and books on the many types of trains out there. There was stuffed toy animals (like foxes, raccoons,and giraffes) that had a conductor uniform on and those were cute. Lots of Thomas the Steam Engine toys, books, and stickers too. Also, the restrooms in the station are single stall, but was quite clean. The train goes all the way to North Fort Meyers so you will pass through a nature preserve and conservatory. Cell and internet service will be spotty when passing through the area, so be sure your phone is charged. The young lady in the front will remind you twice when you need to be at the platform for the train, so keep an eye on the clock too. If not, you will still hear the train blowing its whistle when it is approaching the station. Choo! Choo!

One of the things I loved about her taking the train we were able to be with her until the train left. It was MUCH cheaper for her to take the train to Miami instead of fly. I think around $50 vs well over $100 to fly. It may take longer than flying but the price difference can make the difference between getting to where you want to go or not.
