I love looking at the balloons, but because we fly we have never bought one. So, I do the next best thing and get our photo taken with them. The photo pass people will take your picture with you and your family holding the balloons and it looks really cool!!
The other thing is this. On our first trip with our DD about three and a half years ago, she had asked for a balloon. Due to the cost and our short stay and flight home we told her to pick something else. Well, we had about two days before our date to leave and we were having breakfast at the resort. This family with one child approached us and asked if we would like to have the two balloons their DD had. They were flying home that day and could not take the balloons and so they wanted to share the magic with another child! That was the sweetest thing ever. We took the balloons and enjoyed them for the next two days. They looked great and did not deflate at all. On the morning we left we did the same thing and passed the balloons on to a family. It was the coolest thing ever!\
On our last trip we did get a balloon and on our last day we passed it on. It really makes you feel good.
