Hot Air Balloon Ride

Description:

With this amazing sunrise balloon ride, you will not only experience the thrill of wingless flight, but will be able to see all of the area's great attractions.

You'll meet your pilot at 6:00 a.m., conduct a quick pre-flight briefing and then select a launch site for the day from a range of 30 sites in the Disney area.  Next, you'll launch a small helium balloon to determine the wind direction for the morning.  Then you'll head to the launch site.

At the launch site, you'll have the chance to help out inflating the balloon and preparing for the flight, or just relax.  Then its time to board the balloon and liftoff into the heavens.

Your flight will last approximately an hour, as you fly over a variety of terrain ranging from swamps and forests to resorts and theme parks.  You may even see some of the area's unique wildlife including alligators!  There is magic in the air in Central Florida, and what better way to see this countryside than with an early morning sunrise balloon flight.

This is an aerial adventure that you will never forget!
