Hi,
While we are in Orlando this October we understand that there is an early morning launch of a rocket from Cape Canaveral. Could anyone recommend a good viewing point either near to cape canaveral, or elsewhere?
Thanks
Debbie
We watched Pluto New Horizons take off at Jetty Park. $5 parking, toilets and a beach for the kids to run around on.

Look on Google Earth to see how close it is.
Hi,
We saw the launch of the Discovery last July, just wondered why everyone was pulling over and looking and pointing at the sky, looked out the window and hey presto DISCOVERY being launched.
Saw all this just entering Disney, so save your money and keep looking at the skies, you will know approx the launch time.
happy looking
its really great!
