 Viewing Rocket Launch from Magic Kingdom?
Does anyone know if you are able to see the Atlas V rocket launches at Cape Canaveral from the Magic Kingdom? I noticed on Spaceflight Now it shows one launching on April 10th and would love to see it. Was lucky enough to see a night time shuttle launch from Magic Kingdom before and that was really cool. It was so bright it was like daytime out for a few minutes. They don’t have the exact time listed yet and this mission has had a few delays already so we will see if it actually goes as NASA does not have its rescheduled date listed. Just in case it does I wanted to find out if they are even visible from there so I can plan a spot to watch it.

You should be able to see the rocket launch, although they are not quite as bright as the shuttle launches were at night.

We watched a shuttle launch from Chef Mickey's one year. Granted it' looks like just a firey ball but still very cool

We also watched a shuttle launch from WDW at night. We were on the deck at Narcoossee's, and saw it come up from behind the Contemporary. It was so cool!!
We also saw a shuttle launch from our plane one time when we were coming in for a landing at MCO. It was early morning, and was incredible to see!

Yes, I've experienced that also. The pilot announced it overhead just as the shuttle came up through the clouds (a good distance away, of course). Having lived on the Space Coast for many years, I've seen too many shuttle/rocket launches to count. But I will never forget that moment when I saw it from the inside of a plane. It was breathtaking!

Years ago I actually saw the Space Shuttle go over Spaceship Earth (appropriate!!) Then we even saw the solid rocket boosters fall off. I had just come out of Soarin' and saw everyone standing around looking at the sky. I'll never forget that.
