Got in at 2:20pm (tickets went on sale 2pm) and they had already sold out of the ones we wanted. Got 3 adult and 1 child to watch from the visitor center. We leave Sept 2nd so hopefully it goes before than if there are any delays.

we are there from 31st August so I hope it goes up on schedule.

Christine the visitors center will be great. You still have the I Max theatres and all the other things to see too, if they delay by an hour or so..

I'd signed up for the upcoming launches, so i was hovering over the keyboard at 2pm sharp. Got ours with no problem.

Linda if it goes up on schedule, you;ll miss it, first launch date is 28th. You can join me in the fingers crossed it slips by a few days camp For purely selfish reasons, hubby and I will arrive on 25th so we are ok but daughter and her boyfriend won't join us till 31st so we're hoping it will go after 1st as she really wants to see another launch and her boyfriend has never seen one so would like to if poss.

Have only just seen this thread, we are out there until 5th September, but I bet we can't get tickets now. will try their web site and see. If not we will have to watch it from the beach.

Have managed to book tickets for the Maximum Access Launch viewing. Does anyone know if we still have to pay the entrance fee when we arrive? Also can anyone advise me what would be the best time to get there if the launch is set for 4.04 pm?
Thanks

Jackie,
the ticket includes the entrance. There is a faq associated with the booking page which explains all about it. When your tickets arrive you are GIVEN an arrival time. You have to arrive within 1 hour of this time otherwise you won't get in. They do say to allow double your driving time, so from Kissimmee it's normally an hour, so allow 2 hours.
