yes, he needs a wristband and fastpass. If you happen to get the very last fp they will give him a standby and he will be standby #1. I really don't think you would have a problem at that point, they will most likely let you guys go in together, especially if there isn't anyone that can stay outside with him. Vanessa is really sweet and a SW nut. She's really cool
I just booked, then went here to share. You beat me to it. Lots of availability still.
Playalinda is a clothing-optional beach at Canaveral National Seashore. I haven't been up there in years, but I think the Seashore gets closed off during launches. A lot of people will park along SR50 and watch along the shoreline of the Indian River. The park yulilin mentioned is also good. You can see launches pretty well from almost any park along the river, either mainland or barrier island. But there are a lot of road closures (and sweeps of waterbodies) for launches. I live about 80 miles south of KSC and unless it's super cloudy can usually see the launches. Good luck!
I had to go back and see what I was responding about...the DIS Unplugged does a weekly show. The 2nd Tuesday of each month they announce the top 10 threads on the DIS, our "little" thread has never been in the top ten. So we're wondering if tomorrow will be the day, since they are announcing top 10 of April and this thread basically jumped 400 pages in a month.
interesting note, on a clear day you could see the shuttle (well the fire tail from the engine) rise right behind Mission Space in Epcot
that was very cool. I would think it would be the same for the rockets.
yes I had been checking on and off again. really wanted snag one for durning the week.
You're right. We did see a rocket once from near Mission Space -it was pretty cool. We were hoping to see it from closer this time. We watched the next to last launch of the space shuttle Atlantis from the causeway at the space center and it was amazing. The kids are hooked now on seeing launches. We're from PA and don't know all the beaches so we appreciate everyone's opinions and help.interesting note, on a clear day you could see the shuttle (well the fire tail from the engine) rise right behind Mission Space in Epcot
Thanks for the information. I did read that it sometimes gets closed for launches but also have found videos from there for some launches. From what I can tell, it seems to have to do with which launch pad is being used. I'm sure we'll find somewhere. Everyone on this board is so helpful, I was sure that some of you locals could help me. Thanks again!
Ok you Floridians... I humbly request you start preforming your anti-rain dances 
For realz. I'm looking at you Sunday!
I know there is always the late afternoon rain storm that runs through the state each day but come on... that weather report is pissing me off.
In other news the 501st marchers are being told the parade happens pretty much rain or shine as long as there is no lighting or hurricane like conditions. No matter what we are to suit up and wait for instructions.
don't look at any forecasts, you'll go crazy, one says 80% the other 55%, the other 40%
