Buzz (and Mickey) Go for Launch with Special Package!

To Infinity and Beyond! Buzz Lightyear isn’t the only fan of all things space related! Kennedy Space Center has long been a popular side destination for Walt Disney World and Disney Cruise Line guests. Located about 60 miles from Walt Disney World and only about 10 miles from Port Canaveral, Kennedy Space Center offers guests the opportunity to train like an astronaut in simulators, experience the thrill of the riding the space shuttle as it blasts off, tour launch areas, meet astronauts and much more.

In celebration of the 30 years of NASA’s space flight program and the retirement of the space shuttle program, the Swan and Dolphin resorts at Walt Disney World are offering an extra special vacation package! Are you a NASA employee? If so, the deal is made even sweeter with a special $135 per night rate at the Swan and Dolphin resorts (the rate was selected to honor the 135th, and final, space shuttle mission STS-135). This special rate is available to current and past NASA employees or contractors.

The “Salute to Space” package is available for travel through December. Guests will receive 20% off the best prevailing rate at either resort, 20% discount on Kennedy Space Center admission and a 20% discount on a rental car to take your family to and from the space center. Former astronauts Jon McBride or Bob Springer will be available at the resorts for guest meet and greets on select dates in August.

While you are at Kennedy Space Center, be sure to register to win the ultimate vacation…a trip to outer space in the Launch of a Lifetime sweepstakes!

The Swan and Dolphin resorts are located within walking distance of both Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios (they also offer boat shuttles to both parks for those guests who have walked enough inside the parks!). These deluxe resorts are not owned and operated by Disney but still qualify for many on site perks including Disney transportation and Extra Magic Hours.
