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!

Happiness is waking up to a brand new vlog from you two bright rays of sunshine !!!!

[@RoyMartin-p7u]

I agree!

[@tammydee9700]

Hello Max & Alex! I'm glad you visited Kennedy Space center together while you were here in Florida. It's always a joy watching you both enjoy your time here. 😊

[@spjw2566]

Such a great vlog! Now you can rent a car on all of your trips and visit different places! Oh.. and lots of people love to “bash” Olive Garden.. I don’t care what they say, I love it!

[@deniserichards6941]

Always wanted to visit Kennedy Space Center. Even better would be to see a launch. Love Stitch making an appearance. 😊

[@emilystaylor89]

Omg I need Max’s rocket Disney jumper!

[@mimipatten3598]

Just made a big bowl of popcorn and sat down to watch after work. So enjoy your shenanigans, you two! Many thanks for the content

[@AlisonInWonderlandUK]

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.

[@coricross682]

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.

[@chiefmarshal1910]

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!

[@judy1570]

Hi from San Diego 🌺 It's nice that you both are off Disney property and are visiting other places. Another great video! 💜

[@37robbie]

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 😀

[@BigBilly-io3kf]

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.

[@jennylofty179]

Space center was amazing and made me feel a little emotional. Love your sweatshirts and the olive restaurant looked lovely . Thanks for 😢he vlog x

[@andrearuizdebustamante6550]

It’s been years since we have been there. Looks different. We have been thinking of taking the kids, so after watch you there I think it will be part of our next WDW trips! 😊

[@IceKnight81]

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.

[@tamist5079]

Loved the Stitch at the end- watching you guys at the space center brought back memories of when my brother and I went years ago it was a great place we also were able to see a launch(part of one the clouds blocked alot) from coco Beach

[@pash78]

While I enjoy all of your vlogs. I really enjoyed the reminder that there is more to Florida than the parks. Great vlog!

[@pamcradow2956]

Excellent vlog TY, even though I knew the screen would move, I still teared up seeing Atlantis!

[@joannemather808]

I cried when I watched a similar film there back in either 1990 or 2004, it was showing the challenger disaster, so emotional

[@Chrissyhappy]

Absolutely loved the Kennedy space centre video. Thanks. We loved olive garden. We’d go when we wanted to eat a light meal. I’d get the minestrone soup and salad.

[@nancymccombs3775]

Great vlog! Loved seeing the Space Center! I was waiting for you to say they were out of your size in the NASA jumper and you needed to go find it in another shop. Haha

[@danielcope6310]

Really enjoyed your vlog, it was interesting and made a nice change from regular Disney vlogs. Take care ❤Danny ✌️

[@emilyw5051]

Loved this vlog! You were lucky how quiet the KSC was. I went there in May 2022 and felt like the entire population of Orlando’s children were there 😂

[@JackMiller96]

Great video! I always loved the breadsticks at Olive Garden, I would always eat too many and then not leave enough room for my main 😂

[@gashabrown589]

Thanks for taking us along. The Space center was so cool.

[@mickmunn]

Hello you two, non Disney, loved the NASA day . Look at you with your new back pack. Great content. 😎👍

[@leehamilton8344]

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.

[@RoyMartin-p7u]

Wow!!!! Just….. brilliant!!! Rob and Carlos

[@Contom67]

I love you guys. You're so much fun. Good job.

[@macpac22]

That Nasa jumper is so nice 👌🏻

[@LorettaCorona]

hi max and Alex I love the Kennedy space center is a very interesting place 🐝

[@LisaCNY]

Great vlog as usual! Haven’t been to the Space Center in many years so it was nice seeing it again thru you both.

[@shonadixon609]

Thanks guys, you’ve helped make me even more excited for our trip to in December 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@christinaallen6114]

Love you guys! My 100% Italian dad wouldn’t allow us to go there. But their salad and eggplant parm is really good. 🤫 don’t tell!

[@SarahDrake-ms8yz]

I’m a complete space geek so loved visiting Kennedy Space Centre. I cried as the screen went up and there was Atlantis! So nice to see you doing a vlog on your visit. Really enjoyed it xx

[@billgreen1861]

Thank you, guys another great tour. Alex, I got all chocked up when you said " I remember coming here with my dad " it's wonderful when you remember wonderful moments. Hope to hear from you soon.

[@mp-iw6kx]

Good morning 🌞..

[@ElizabethH1231]

Thanks for taking us along - that was really fun! My son and I were there when he was little and some things have changed, but I remember very well the awe of seeing that shuttle when they open that screen - amazing!

[@yvonne548]

Yeah that was good. Thank you xxx

[@caryw8636]

Totally LOVE watching your KZbin vids! …And LOVE your non-American perspectives! I’ve been trying to keep up with your vids after being introduced by Addam and Gary KZbin vids, which I also LOVE and follow 😁🤪🤣

[@1983Jems]

When I eventually go to WDW, i’ll also need to go the space centre! Lovely vlog as always!

[@ilsehunt6338]

Another great vlog guys x love Saratoga springs Congress park is my favourite area !

[@herbalspear1]

Thanks for letting us enjoy your visit to NASA. You two are so fun to watch.

[@LilacRagdoll3180]

I love this video guys.... always good to see you go somewhere different.... 💜💜🦋🦋

[@chinalee-mn4vy]

Maxx and Alex you're always entertaining. I've never been to the Kennedy Space Center, so I thank you for the day there. Loved it!!!!!😊

[@donnastoffel5371]

Great video! Loved it - thank you for sharing!

[@garygilligan2681]

Wow, I have never been there and this vlog was amazing. Thank you

[@jennievans1905]

Thanks for showing the car care center. Much easier than walking out to the Hilton near Disney Springs to hire one like we've done in the past. Love Kennedy Space Center! Also so happy to see you at Saratoga! Unpopular opinion, but it's my favourite resort!

[@alisonburton9667]

Great vlog! Thanks for the info on the car rental as my son wants to have a go at driving when we go in Jan, and we were thinking of just hiring one for a day or 2 😁

[@michellehagman4183]

We were just there 3 days ago! It was a great time!..looks like you enjoyed yourself too

[@_gregc]

I was not expecting Stitch at the end. I was startled ❤❤

[@davidberry8275]

Thanks for the wonderful video, like that they are spread-out a bit to keep the joy coming. Its been quite a few years since we last visited so nice to see the re-arranged and improved NASA visitor centers. As aways, love to see the food!, excellent work lads.

[@BeingBoringx2]

Thanks guys! Such a fun "field trip"! I got so emotional watching the shuttle reveal. You're forgiven for going to Olive Garden 😁

[@a.e.7988]

Thank you for appreciating our American history. 😊 Don't forget to stay on the right side of the road!😂

[@dennisme5234]

Always entertaining and informative

[@stevief1985]

Thanks again for another good vlog. We have even went back over your old ones just for your energy and fun... Thanks again 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@denisecates6006]

Hey guys great video. Love love your channel. ❤Your advice is so helpful.

[@davinaweller6163]

It looks absolutely incredible thank you for showing us around Max & Alex . Great vlog ❤❤xx

[@RoyMartin-p7u]

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.

[@colleenbarsin725]

Great vlog! We love the unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks at Olive Garden.

[@razzati420]

Awesome video

[@emily0uellette]

Hi Max and Alex! I was wondering what your thoughts on Pop Century were! I have a vacation planned in mid October for a week there and was hoping it’s a good solo traveller hotel!

[@matts8511]

Will be going to the space centre in September, so will have to skip this to avoid spoilers! 😅

[@sams.9803]

Max and alex do you think if you had a Olive Garden in the UK would you guys go alot.i love it the bread sticks are endless..

[@myraconnelly7965]

Love the olive garden one of my best meals in Florida can’t wait to go bk in sept ☺️

[@debayer7691]

Kennedy Space center is awesome. Olive garden not so much.

[@Roadent1241]

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

[@Max_and_Alex]

Correct, they take your driving licence details at the desk when you pick the car up.

[@Roadent1241]

@@Max_and_Alex Cool, thanks! 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.

[@Truman-smom]

Is this your last vlog from your Disney

[@Max_and_Alex]

No, there’s another long one to come!🤗

[@hunkybudwa]

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.

[@LokiOfWinterfell]

American watching, love Olive Garden Happy you went!
