Getting around WITHOUT any transportation? That's the NEW plan for some of us this weekend.
I totally forgot to mention this one, but over the weekend it was brought to my attention that my youngest son thought this upcoming Disney trip would also include a trip over to the Kennedy Space Center. Why? I'm not totally sure but we have talked about including it in a future Florida trip because he is such a big fan of space stuff. There's just no way to include a day there for this upcoming trip with family without them missing other stuff.
So...as a consolation for now I thought perhaps they could at least try to head over in that direction for the Rocket Launch that is happening on SATURDAY around 5:30pm. They aren't going to pay for tickets to get too up close to it, but are maybe going to drive in that direction and get as close as they can to see it. Then they will return back to Shades of Green that evening.
Next Launch : November 19, 2016 17:42 PM | Rocket Launch: United Launch Alliance Atlas V GOES-R
My husband is concerned about leaving me and the other two kids without transportation, since they will most likely leave from the Universal Park area around 4pm. My family should arrive in the area sometime around dinnertime and I'll most likely be left without transportation to meet them.
So my hope is that mom and dad arrive in the area first...and I can just have them pick us up somewhere and take us over to Shades of Green. They are the only ones who will be able to transport all 3 of us in their vehicle. If my brother and family arrive first...well we'll have to arrange transportation to Shades of Green on our own, most likely via Taxi.
I looked into possibly renting a car just for the day just in case...but don't know that I want to deal with the hassle of that.
Anyway I'm all on board with my husband and youngest son going on this afternoon adventure and I know the kids and I will figure things out on our own if necessary. There's also the possibility that the launch gets scrubbed last minute...and they are prepared for that as well.
We've decided we'll now most likely stick to our plan of heading back to Florida for Spring Break and during that time we'll schedule a day for the Space Center for sure.
