Kenedy Space Center Excursion

Does DCL offer an excursion to KSC? If our flight leaves at 5:30pm could we do it? Any idea on price and if it offers transfers back to the airport after it is over? Thanks!

To my knowledge, Disney does not offer packages to the Kennedy Space Center. I think your best bet would be to rent a car for the day. It is such a short distance from the port to NASA that you should have no problem with the time factor. You will be off the ship by 8:30 a.m. and you could easily be at Kennedy, by 9:00 a.m. That would give you all morning and part of the afternoon to tour, and still plenty of time to get to the airport for your 5:30 p.m. flight! The car rental services are right at the port. Very convinent! Call and pre-arrange the rental before hand and you should have no problem at all.

We really enjoyed the Space Center. Be sure to schedule on of the bus tours offered! Save some vacation film for pictures there!!

If it were me, I would recommend against trying to do this. We went straight from the ship to KSC after our cruise and got into KSC at about 10:15 or 10:30 am at the earliest (the lines are horrendous to get in because their ticket system is antiquated and confusing--it is actually worse if you buy tickets ahead of time because you have to stand in an even longer voucher line to exchange for the actual tickets). We had fun and left at about 4:00 pm having only seen about 50% or less of the core stuff. It was about $23 per person for the very basic ticket as I recall, but the line for the tour and the line to get in will eat up a lot of time. If you have a rental car and are going to the airport, you will need to leave KSC by probably 2:30 pm to make your flight and return the car. IMHO, that is just too little time to do justice to the KSC. Building in the time to get the rental car in Cocoa Beach, the timing is even worse. Sorry to be pessimistic, but I think you should have a realistic view of what is actually possible.

Thanks! The Mariner (RCCL) offers a KSC excursion so I thought DCL might too.
