The spce shuttle is suppossed to return on Aug. 19th and we will be int the magic kingdon. Is is possible to see it in the air anywhere? My son would love it. It is our first day there. Thanks

I'm pretty sure you can. We were there last Wednesday, and we saw the launch from the bridge in Adventureland. It was awesome, and I got some relly cool video that I'm going to post in my trip report when we get back.

You can not see the shuttle when it returns from anywhere in Central Florida. You can hear the sonic boom usually though. Don't know if you will be able to hear it over the noise in the parks though.

bummer, my son would have loved to see it.

We have heard the sonic boom before when something landed, but it was early in the moring at Fort wilderness so we were not sure if you could see anything when not in the tree cover. Thanks for the answers!

Well when the space shuttle launched last year on July 4th, my dad & I were able to see it from the pool area at Contemporary. My mom was doing laundry though It was a really great view across Bay Lake & it was a great surprise.
