We took the kids down to Walt Disney World back around 1985 or 6 and stayed in one of the Buena Vista apartments. I think they are all gone by now. We rode the monorail to the park - the kids loved it.
One night, around 7 p.m. the shuttle launched. We were in Orlando and the launch was from the Cape - 50 miles away. The noise was incredible and sight of the lift off was awesome. The kids still talk about it.
