Unfortunately the intern just got back to me and said they are booked up through June and have no more complimentary tickets so they couldn't schedule our tour. BUMMER!! At least I tried, I guess.

I just learned today that I am getting my tickets for August 4th! Thanks for the help with the letter writing. The third time was the charm. Can't wait!

This Disney trip is supposed to be a budget trip-ha ha ha!

Who did you send your request to? I sent a request to Derek Kilmer yesterday but not sure if I needed to send it to the rep or the actual senator? Thanks in advance!

I used Jim McDermott since he is ours. From his website there is link to tours I used that and followed up with a letter in the mail. I received a phone call back they were working on it so I'm not sure if the website or email were the trigger. Good Luck. We go Friday..

I just wanted to post that we went last Friday on the 15th. I just showed my email to the ticket will call booth and she gave me my free tickets. We also received free parking a 10$ value. The parking attendant seemed confused but I showed her the email that said free parking and she let us park with out paying.

We slept in and drove over from Orlando so we arrived just after noon. We took the tour out to the Appolo site and the kids did the Flight take off simulator. At this point it was already 4:00 and we had missed the last showings of the Imax movies. We really enjoyed what we were able to see and would love to go back in the future. Just note if you really want to see the movies and the Appolo site you need to plan on the whole day.

The free tickets are good for a 2nd day and also are good for the Astronaut Hall of Fame that is down the road a bit. We just didn't have the 2nd day in our schedule.

All and all we loved the Space Center it is deffiently worth the drive over for the day.

Good luck to all on getting your tickets.

The offer back from our Congressman for the Free tickets came as a email that had a confirmation number in the email. I believe that is what they used at will call to look up my information.

Guys, I've removed several posts that contained names and phone numbers for NASA employees. Those contacts were not correct, and were causing these people to get calls and inquiries for areas they do not deal with.
