Fort Lauderdale has never had high speed rail. Nor is that even being planned.

What you are describing here is Brightline. That's the newer rail system that stops in Downtown Miami, Downtown Fort Lauderdale, and Downtown West Palm Beach. Brightline closed when COVID happened and it has not reopened.

Although Brightline is expanding to Orlando, that's still years away. Currently, the only way to get from Miami to Orlando via rail is with Amtrak. The Amtrak stations in both Miami and Orlando are nowhere near any tourist areas.
