Helicopter tour orlando/kissimee

[chmurf]

Hi guys

I'm considering a first helicopter flight for DW and DS, and what better place than the Theme Park area for this

As any of you taken such a flight in the orlando area, who did you fly with (I'm looking for reputable businesses), and was it worth it ?

thank you

Last month, I flew with Orlando Helicopter Tours and did the Disney/Sea World Combo Tour for $75/person. http://www.orlandohelitours.com/disney-seaworld-combo.aspx

Was a real nice experience. You'll fly 700 ft above ground for around 15 mins. I had friends with me who are in the helicopter business as well and they all said that the pilot did a very professional job. Not only the pilot, but also the ground staff was really friendly. Before your flight, they take some pics of you in front of the helicopter and while you're taking off. You can buy these on a CD for $40 afterwards but didn't feel any pressure to do so.

Had to move my flight on short notice and they just told me to come by whenever I wanted to, as they are really flexible. And they were! Within 20 minutes, I was on my way to the helicopter.

Here are couple of photos I snapped on the flight. Not only you get to see some of the parks, but also some of the resort hotels plus Downtown Disney. I was even able to make out my beloved Lion King characters at the Art of Animation. How cool! http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=11374644@N06&q=helicopter%20flight

And - Spoiler Alert - I did a video of the flight, too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTVePoltWfE

Be sure to tip the pilot after landing and have fun!

Reto....what incredible pictures ......thanks so much for sharing them! We have seen the helicopter landing areas on International Drive on each trip, and wondered what the views would be like. Unfortunately, I will have to live vicariously through brave folks like you as there's no way my stomach could tolerate the ride. I am usually airsick on the plane before we get beyond New York State .

My good friend did one over WDW, he said he loved it. Not sure which one he used though..

What resort or park was that, in the last picture?

I'd say Blizzard Beach - guessing a bit from the clues that are showing.

That's right - Blizzard Beach water park, near Animal Kingdom.
