It's not an easy thing to do, I've tried twice, and there are less than 9 launches left from memory.
1st time it was hail damaged, delayed launch and spent a week in Orlando, not much to do in Orlando, managed to do Universal Studios via public transport, but I recommend the KSC site tour, basically you can spend as much time at each place and catch the next tour bus. Gator Tours do a early morning pickup (5am) from the hotel and return you in the evening. They also take you to the KSC Astronaut Hall Of Fame before KSC.

2nd time, I was hoping there was a delay, made it to SFO to watch it on TV in the hotel room.
BTW: I keep this URL as a link on the desktop to the NASA TV Video:
