Orlando Space shuttle launch
Posted: Thu April 2, 2009 07:41 AM UTC
I am staying at the Sheraton Vistana the week of May 12 and hope to catch either of the launches on May 12 or May. 15. Now, I received an email from KSC saying the launch transportation tickets and some of the launch viewing tickets have already been sold out. How do I book the tickets for viewing the launch from the visitor complex. How do I get from the resort to the complex? (I decided not to rent a car after reading that traffic can be quite horrible especially on the day of the launch.) Has anyone does this before. It is a bit of a scramble right now, since the mail says the tickets go on sale on Apr 3 morning.

Please help me out.

Thanks a ton.

Hi
We went to the launch in march , unfortunately it was cancelled . We drove 4 hours for nothing and had the cost for a hotel room too!Be aware this is a frequent occurance. We ended up seeing it ( albeit from afar) from our back yard in Englewood. Tickets are non refundable too. If you decide to go for it anyway , there are alternate transportation means available . Here's a link http://www.ksctickets.com/grydol.html. You can then book the ticket just for the Visitor Complex viewing . Its $38.00. Note the reason for the tour being sold out is because of a change in schedule . Its buyer beware!
