Balzac Balloon Balls !!!!!

[rgalagnad]

Anyone buy a balloon ball at Disney? I bought a couple for my boys.
Was told they come with one refill balloon inside the package.
Was told I had to buy refills.
Got home and found 4 refills in the packages.

I WAS MISLED !!!!!

Anyone else have the same experience?

Is this the way Disney intends to make extra money?

I wish I had bought refills when I was there! My daughter loves that thing but I am out of balloons to refill it with and can't find any place around here to buy them!

I can't believe that, wow! When we bought ours, I was told there were a few refills in the pack but I chose to buy another pack anyway....

I don't think Disney needs to mislead people to make money, they seem to make a lot without having to do that.

Now mis-informing is another topic all together.

No, I've bought several Balzac balls and haven't. I choose to get extras since I knew the students would be hard on them.

You may be able to buy refills here

I bought these both in 2000 and 2002. I had been told that they did have some refills inside of the packaging but they were offering a special of 1 free small Balzac with a refill purchase so we bought more. My kids have a great time with these...they are loads of fun in the pool too!

As far as buying refills at home....a "helium quality" latex balloon that you can buy at party good stores really cheap fit the larger balls....water balloons fit inside the small ones. Hope this helps anyone who might need refills but cringe at the cost of them.

Balzac is a 3rd party vendor that works on Disney property. Balzac sellers aren't Disney employees nor is Disney profiting from individual Balzac sales.

That said. I think you got a poorly trained seller not someone trying to scam you out of an extra $20.
