Nope never been there. I'd assume cold drinks would help though.

Make a jacket out of fridge parts and carry around large batteries to power it 

(I am being fully serious, I plan on making one sometime).

Peltier elements could be the base of it.

Looking at the cost of those elements (Google), unless you got a bulk discount price, that's one pricey jacket you're talking... and you'd better get your polarities right! lol

If I had the money and it was hot enough...

Granted, dumped heat would have to be expelled by fans or a combination of liquid cooling and fans at the back.

See if they have a spare space suit and wear the inner layer, it's got tubes of cold water running all over it.

If we're being serious here, you'll never make it past security  (that goes for any of the Orlando area places for that matter)

Fortunately KSC is mostly indoor stuff. The few outdoor activities you should do in the morning. Small portable fans help (walmart has some small ones you can wear around your neck). There are only one or two restaurants in the complex, so plan accordingly. (I recommend bringing lunch in a cooler you keep in the car, just leave the park at lunch time and come back after). KSC is one of the easier places to visit actually. Bring sunscreen.
