Kennedy Space Center/Port ??

We are just in the planning stage for a Disney Cruise next year. We live on the West Coast thinking of flying in a couple of days early to plan a trip to the space center then board the ship the next day. Any recommendations? Are the two areas close enough to use the same hotel for 2 nights instead of moving hotels. Mom and Dad traveling with 3 year old bringing Grandpa and 5 year old cousin. We live 20 minutes from Disneyland and will be on a Disney cruise so spending time at the Disney parks might be overload for the kids and dad!! LOL

Cape Canaveral (where the cruise terminal is located) is about 45-60 min from the airport.

Kennedy Space Center is only about 15-20 min from Cape Canaveral..... so very doable staying at the same hotel in the Cape Canaveral/Cocoa Beach area.

Have a wonderful cruise!!!
