Who's Going?
Just laid in ticket prices for taking the Silver Star from Union Station DC to Orlando on July 5th, and then the Silver Star back to DC on July 11th.
Cost is about $70 more than flying out of Reagan National to Orlando International (round trip cost of $200 vs $270), but each time I have flown to a DC area airport from Orlando International, I've always (twice in a row now) been delayed by five or six hours.
Plus, the TSA checkpoints at MCO are just horrible. All the more so given that it will be peak tourist season for the Mouse and Other Parks....
I gave myself the weekend in case they scrub the friday launch and then recycle and fire over the weekend; plus an extra day or so to get down to Titusville and find a hotel or something to stay in -- because the place is going to be MOBBED with everyone wanting to see the final launch.
