Giant Bouncy Ball found In Epcot

[loafskier]

Just decided to go for our fourth trip to DW. With the discounts being offered, we just couldn't refuse

My ds 9 has been obsessed with the giant disney bouncy balls they sell at Epcot. I have always deterred him from spending his money on them because 1) how would I get it home? can you buy it deflated? then I would have to inflate it when I get home and it wouldn't be inflated at disney for my ds to play with it, and 2) they are ridiculously expensive - $60 - $100 for a ball is just ridiculous.

Does anyone know of where I might find one online? Has anyone ever bought one and can offer their suggestion, experience, review?

His birthday is coming up in May and I would like to get it for him for his birthday instead of part of a trip to Disney if I can find it at a reasonable price.

Yes, you can buy them deflated at a cart in the breezeway in front of Innovations as you go toward The Land. The "inside" is a special balloon that can be inflated and deflated, so you shouldn't have any problems getting it home.

ETA: We do have one and you can take the balloon out and replace it in case it ever gets popped. They are lots of fun!

The company that makes them is balzak and you con find them on the web.

I have not been able to find the Disney pattern balls, but you may want to check Amazon or Ebay-people may be selling them.

They are sold to you deflated so they are easy to pack. We were told to twist the rubber balloon inside, not tie it, the ball will deflate over time, but you can simply untwist it and blow it up again without popping it. We have had it for almost a year and are still on the first balloon liner.

I actually just looked these up online yesterday. The company is Balzac and they are much cheaper to purchase online rather than in the parks (as is everything else really lol).

I should have known to come here to find my answer

I had searched online but without the Balzac name I wasn't having any luck. I found them online and ordered one for my son for his birthday. Still quite expensive but a little more reasonable online...he will be very excited.

Thanks for you help!
