How to Get to Kennedy Space Center from Disney?

[OverplanninJess]

DBF and I are thinking about going to Kennedy Space Center for a day while we're at Disney in December. What is the best way to get there from a Disney resort (we'll be at ASMo)?

I think your best choice would be to rent a car. KSC is near Port Canaveral which is about an hour from WDW.

Agree. I don't know of any bus that goes there from Disney and a cab would cost $$$$.

One of the coach companies, maybe Mears, ran a bus to KSC (not daily). Renting a car would be my first choice but do a search if you can't rent a car.

I'd go with the rental car. I know that Mears runs a shuttle there on limited days and it's something like $33 per person round-trip (and that doesn't include your admission to KSC - just th transport). Car would be more economical.

The OP is under 25. They'll have to pay an underage surcharge. They might want to research the bus and see if the days/times work.

$34 R/T M/W/F A car might cost close to $100. You have to include the underage fee, tolls and gas.

edited to add many of our discounts don't apply to a one day rental. I think the total cost may be close to $150.

We just did this last month. We had a car for the first part of our Disney vacation and drove over to KSC for a day. Did a Map Quest for directions. Had a really great time. It's a facinating tour through the complex.
