Universal Orlando Boring Company Transit System: What We Know

Getting around Universal Orlando’s growing resort is about to look very different.

Universal’s special district is actively in negotiations with The Boring Company to build a transit system that connects the various properties of the resort together. There are real proposals, real permit filings, and real land being cleared that appears to connect directly to where this system would run.

Here’s what the documents and proposals tell us about what a Universal Orlando transit system could look like.

Quick Summary

• Universal’s Shingle Creek Transit and Utility Community Development District is leading the transit project
• The Boring Company is in active negotiations to build a tunnel-based transit system
• A separate company, Sunshine Partners, already submitted a proposal showing a route along Universal Boulevard
• That proposal would have connected Epic Universe to CityWalk and the northern resort areas
• The nearly 90-acre West Parcel being cleared now sits directly along that proposed route

The Organization Behind the Project

Universal’s special district — the Shingle Creek Transit and Utility Community Development District — is working on a new transit system. They are currently in negotiations with The Boring Company to create a system that connects the various sites of the resort together via tunnels and other means. This is a formal, ongoing process — an active negotiation, not a concept pitch.

What a Rejected Proposal Tells Us About the Route

We don’t have The Boring Company’s specific plan yet, but another company’s rejected proposal gives us a clear window into what the district is looking for.

A proposal submitted by Sunshine Partners would have had the transit system run along Universal Boulevard. It would have passed right through the large West Parcel plot on its way between the southern resort areas — like Epic Universe and surrounding hotels — and the northern resort areas including CityWalk and the older parks.

That alignment is significant. The West Parcel currently being cleared sits exactly where a midpoint transit hub would need to go if you’re connecting Epic Universe to Universal Studios Florida.

Why the West Parcel May Be the Key Piece

With its location along Universal Boulevard, situated roughly between Epic Universe and Endless Summer Resort, the West Parcel is prime real estate for a midway transit hub. The parcel is large enough to accommodate a hub alongside other development — hotels, entertainment, or a future park — rather than consuming the entire property just for transit.

Land clearing on the West Parcel started in early 2026, the same period when The Boring Company negotiations became publicly known. Universal rarely moves dirt without a plan already in place.

What This System Would Actually Solve

Universal Orlando Resort is spread out. Epic Universe opened in 2025 well south of the original resort complex. Getting between the two areas right now means a car, a rideshare, or a lengthy bus ride.

A Boring Company-style tunnel transit loop would let guests park once, stay anywhere in the resort, and move freely between all parks without a car. For a resort trying to compete with Walt Disney World’s internal transportation system, this kind of connectivity isn’t a luxury — it’s table stakes.

The negotiations are ongoing and no final agreement has been announced. But with land being cleared, proposals already submitted, and a dedicated special district managing the process, this project has real momentum behind it.

The transit story is one we’re watching closely. As permits and proposals continue to surface, we’ll break it all down for you. Stay tuned to DisMornings for the latest.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
