COOL THINGS IN JAPAN YOU MUST SEE
The train travels non-stop from Lorton, Virginia on the east coast in the Washington D.C. area to the city of Sanford, in Central Florida just outside of the Orlando area, a major tourist destination since that is where Disney World is located.
The trip is a 17-hour journey. Actually it takes 17 hours and 29 minutes.
Amtrak provides several options for the Lorton, Virginal to Sanford, Florida route. The first is “coach.”
The next option is basically two coach seats in a tiny compartment that pull out to form a bed. The shelf above it pulls down to create a bunk bed so there are two beds in this compartment euphemistically called a “roomette.”
This is suitable for two people (two people who REALLY like each other because it’s very small) or one person who wants to sleep in a bed vs a reclining seat. The bathroom is in the hall — communal bathroom — and shared with other passengers.
Another option is a “family room” or family cabins, suitable for 2 adults and 2 kids. It has private bathroom and private showers.
