Sounds like it will be busy. So many of the sites are booked up. 
27 hours is do-able. We will plan on 2.5 days of driving. Its a little trailer and the truck does not notice its there except the fuel gauge. That is if stick to the Keys.. Maybe staying a little further north is not a bad idea.. We did a west coast trip a couple summers ago. Other then booking Yellowstone we just stopped where we stopped with no reservations. Much nicer way of travelling.
Kennedy Space Center sounds great. Just spent some time looking at it.. THe Apollo Saturn Would be interesting as well. Any idea how different it is from the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville? We were there last March Break.
It Appears For De Soto is full..
Maybe a couple nights down in the Everglades then up to the Cape for a few nights.. And a slow drive home.
Any other ideas?

Florida in general will be pretty busy. 27 hours to Key West with a travel trailer form Toronto sounds a little optimistic to me, but I could also be wrong.
If you haven't been to the Kennedy Space Center, that would be worth a day even if there is no launch. Some of it is a little touristy for my taste these days (it's become more touristy and less sciency over the years), but there are plenty of excellent exhibits as well. The Apollo/Saturn V building in particular is exceptionally well done.
Fort De Soto (St Petersburg) is a lovely place to camp, and you might find some wildlife there. The Ringling museum complex (in Sarasota) is a fun place to see.
(There are indeed a lot of very big, very toothy, vaguely lizard-like critters in the everglades...and other areas of Florida.)
