may trip/ shuttle

[luvwdwfla2]

Not sure if this is the right place to post. Heading to WDW in MAY!! Found out there are 2 shuttle launches planned that week. We have not decided how to handle this yet. DS6 is extremely interested in space. Would love to go see a launch but I hear traffic is horrible and chance of lift off slim. Other thought is go visit a day or 2 before. Can you see the shuttles on launch pads from the visitor center??? If we go on launch day how early do we need to go over? First thing in Morning and spend whole day?? One launch is on Wed at 1:00 and the other is Fri at 7pm. If we go day before launch then I figure we will just look for it in Disney sky the next day. Help so confused. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
