The trip would be longer, and there would be no airline change fees

Yeah, I took that entire week off, so hopefully in the case of a scrub I'm still good. Plus the flexibility of driving, or rather having the car drive

It is really Delaware North, the company that runs the Visitor Center and Saturn V exhibit, not NASA that are charging hefty process.

Port Canaveral, along the waterfront or up in the sail tower, would be awesome places to watch. T5his baby is so big that the rumble is going to be fantastic!
Okay, according to the tickets, they say ill shall bring my own chair.
Is this a general writing from earlier/other spots/cheaper/etc, tickets?
-Or do they actually mean that we who have bought the "feel the heat" package with catering needs to bring our own chairs?
off course there are other writing there aswell, bring hats, sunglasses, mosquito repellent, etc.
Thats whats leads me to believe that it isnt a specific instruction for this package, but i could be wrong also?

FtH specific:
Info packet is the same as the pdf on the KSC web site.
The site (Apollo/ Saturn V) has facilities and indoors stuff, but there is limited outdoor seating, so bringing a ground blanket or shoulder carried chair may be a good idea. If flying in, get cheap blanket in FL.
No word yet on menu for lunch.

If anyone has a FtH ticket they can't use at the last minute... please PM me.
Think one of the Mid Atlantic guys might have one, does have a name on it, so that's a risk. Want me to email them back and ask? PM me, I don't have your email saved from the winery/drive-in meetup.

I'll already be there with some friends, one who used to hang around here. Would be happy to put other faces with names!
We’ll be staying at a friends in Orlando. Weather forecast ( for what it’s worth ) 67F and partly sunny, winds 9mph from the East on the 6th. We have “Closest” tickets. Some one on the Tesla Florida FB page posted their placard saying to arrive 6 hours ahead of the scheduled launch.
Wow, guess our 5hr early pass isn't going to beat the rush... Normally, parking doesn't open till 30 minutes before KCSVC does, so 8:30am. With a 1:30 launch, they are bringing people in at 7:30!
Mine shipped standard overnight and left FL on the 29th, I ordered the morning of the 25th. Hang in there.
Current long range weather forecast: 40% chance of rain on the 6th.
For all those with tight timelines, I hope FH launches the 6th.
(For FtH and Closest: If scrub occurs after KSCVC opens, food still happens the 6th and there is a do-over with food the 7th (assuming the 7th does not get scrubbed before KSCVC opens)).
So pumped

Weather reports in Florida , especially long range, are fairly meaningless. A 40% chance of rain might mean there are 4 hours during the day when the chance of rain is 10%.Current long range weather forecast: 40% chance of rain on the 6th.

As the only new information available to present, I stand by my post
(plus if weather is really bad, that could indicate a more reliable problem)Since we are on the subject:
Do weather percentages really work like that? I mean, an hour has 60 minutes, so why not 10%*4*60= 2400% chance of rain?
From my attachment:
To me, this means there is a 40% chance of at least one rain event during the time period (of any length and size). Of course, we mostly care about 2 hours or so (fueling to launch).
