Kennedy Space Centre

[Maddysdaddy]

Anyone been there lately with insight on traffic issues that I should know about that will make the trip from WDW longer than the hour and a half I've been told the drive should take (asking because I went to a ball game in Dunedin last week and the 75 minute drive in the middle of the day took twice as long due to road construction).

Thanks.

We drove to Cocoa Beach from Disney yesterday and did Kennedy today. The drive to Cocoa Beach only took about an hour. Did not see any traffic issues and the Space Center was awesome! Have fun!

I've moved this thread to the Transportation board.

You shouldn't have any problems getting to the Space Center. When there were shuttle launches you could have traffic problems but not now.

In the past I've been slowed because of wild fires on the side of the roads. Can't predict that though.

We went there on our 2009 even before the shuttle was scuttled and the drive was easy and very picturesque in places. The space center greatly exceeded my expectations and I highly encourage you to give it a try.

Plan on a whole day as there is a lot there. Took me a bit over an hour from OKW.

No kidding! We were invited to watch the last shuttle launch (Atlantis) at the Center; we left hours early for the drive from Orlando and the traffic was unbelievable!

I was there for that launch. We left Orlando at 1am. We had no issues with traffic on the way to KSC. DH insisted in being there early to get a prime spot. The trip home was a different story.

We were too naive regarding traffic, but luckily made it to the launch in time! We got to watch from the Vehicle Assembly Building on the Center, so didn't have to worry about getting there early to find a spot. It was an amazing experience!
