    www.shopltk.com/explore/Max_%... Hi, we are Max and Alex.

    We start our day at Disney's Saratoga Springs resort, we have hired a car through the Car Care Center which is located near to the Magic Kingdom, they provide a shuttle service where they will pick you up between the hours of 7am - 7pm to take you to collect your car from the hire company.
    Car hire sorted and we start our road trip to the Kennedy Space Center, after around an hour of driving we arrive at the visitor complex, the entrance area is so impressive with a giant 3D screen, once inside we were blown away by all the rockets, we decided to head towards to back of the complex and work forwards, first stop was the Space Shuttle Atlantis building which was so impressive, the way they have designed the opening in to the building and the reveal of the space shuttle is so emotional and brilliant.
    We try lunch at a new restaurant where you can design your own rice or noodle bowl, the food there was really good!
    Next up we take the bus tour over to the Apollo building, on the way there you get taken past the vehicle assembly building where they prepare the space shuttles ready for launch before they are moved to the launch pad, the size and scale of this building is truly impressive.
    We arrive at the Apollo building where you are taken in to the control room and shown the build up and sequence in the lead up to the apollo launch, the consoles that are shown are the actual ones used in the apollo missions.
    You get to walk under the Apollo space craft and touch moon rock!
    We then head to the shop where I buy a really nice sweater.
    Our trip there is then over! You really need a couple of days to explore and be able to read everything at the visitor center, there is so much and if we go again would love to do one of the extra tours you can pay for.
    Finally our tip to Olive Garden! I know it is a massive chain however we have never been before!
    Thanks for watching!

    Hey Max & Alex! Kennedy Space is an amazing place to visit. When I went in 2021, I was blown away as well. I got emotional in the firing room at the Apollo building and also when the screen showed Atlantis just staring at me. I nearly cried at Atlantis.

    I had always wanted to go every time I was at WDW, in 2022 I made sure we went, I knew I'd like it but I never thought I'd like it as much as I did. I truly loved it.

    Kennedy Space Centre has changed a fair bit since my last visit, so thanks for sharing. I love Olive Garden restaurants always good sized portions, probably joint favourite with Red Lobster followed by Bubba Gump!

    love Kennedy Space Centre - I go every time I'm over there. Its worth hiring a car for a week as you get free parking if staying at Disney resorts and works out quite reasonable usually about 200-300 pounds for a week 😀

    Reminds me of the US Space and Rocket Center/Marshall Space Flight Center here in Huntsville. Every now and again, we hear rocket engines being tested.

    When traveling anywhere in the US, always check to see if they have a free pick up and drop off shuttle to/from the car rental agency if you’re not picking it up from the airport. Many places do. Some will even bring the car to your hotel, as well as pick it up from you. Makes things so much more convenient. Great vlog. Thanks for sharing. And for those Brits who have hesitations to rent a car here in the US, Brits with YT channels who drive here all say it is so much easier to drive here than in the UK.

    Neil Armstrong, first man to walk on the moon. Bruce McCandles was the first person to fly that jet pack on the space suit that was above you. Like many in Central Florida, we watch the launches from our front porch.

    Guys
    Wonderful blog!!! I got very emotional. I was 15 years old when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon. May I also say, long story short, I’ve battled depression for six years when my beloved late husband died in 2019. When I first saw Adam and Gary’s blog and your blogs, I began to heal because the Disney blogs are awesome!! I began to slowly come out of my depression as I continued to watch your blogs as well as Adam. I am now seeing someone else and we both are so much in love, we plan to move in together next year.
    Sorry this is so long but Thank you from my heart for your cool groovy logs at Disney. Carlos and I are going to WDW next year .. keep doing what you do. Love and warm wishes Robert and Carlos.

    In terms of renting a car, I assume they check that you have a valid driving licence, and you apparently don't have to have an American one knowing how to drive on the 'wrong side', don't need any training? So any old Johnny can't just rock up with $95 and just have a car for a day XP
    Unless Max has had lessons there XP

      Also thank you for reminding me - i completely forgot to put this - me and mum went to KSC during their 50th and had lunch with an astronaut. Don't remember a thing he said he because he was on my deaf side and I wasn't allowed to move but it was an interesting atmosphere. I know we got some dried ice cream we tried and that was.... Odd XD
      Dunno how we missed all of what you saw, seems I need to go back.

    Great blog outside the Disney bubble! Just curious, did you look into other ways to get to the Kennedy Space Center? Like Uber/Lift or a shuttle from somewhere near Disney? I'm going to age myself, but I am still traumatized by having to watch the Challenger explode live in primary school as a kid. In true 80’s America, they wheeled the TV out quickly and made us do silent reading for the rest of the day, completely ignoring what we just watched, lol.
