From memory, I'm sure the "up-close" tours don't operate or are changed from the day before until after the launch - apart from security there's an awful lot of pressurised fuel/oxygen close by. When we last did the tour we were able to get right out onto the coast and - many years ago - even got to stand on the shuttle landing runway (interesting because it's so long the curvature of the earth stops you seeing the end).
Last time we went we got a close up of Launch Complex 40 - wow! Although we could still be miles away - everything's soooo big! |

I'm sorry I can't help with any of the transport questions as we made our own way to KSC.
We were fortunate enough to see an early evening launch in 2013. Tours stopped at 3pm ish, not sure if they would be running if it was a daytime launch? It was a busy day, I won't deny that, but it never really bothered us. Pick your spot in front of the visitor centre, sit on the grass, take in the atmosphere and prepare for awesome

Yes, certain areas in KSC are closed off to the general public on launch days. We are there on the 15 July for the Atlas V launch and have booked tickets to view from the LC-39 Gantry. Tickets are also available for viewing the launch from the NASA Causeway. There is an additional cost of $49 to view from these areas. There are 2 viewing areas included with general admission although you will only see the rocket once it has cleared the tree line. Chances are the launch date will change several times between now and then though!

Oh no

Everything will be back to normal the next day. With a bit of luck the launch might be postponed for a day and you'll see it
