Up Up and Away.....DTD Hot Air Balloon

[sjs314]

Has anyone done the Hot Air Balloon in DTD? Is it worth the $16.00 to do? Are You allowed to take Pictures?

You can take pictures and can walk around. My Dh did it with Dd and they both loved it. They did it during the day and now want to go again at night.

there's some videos posted on you tube of it.

We have the same thing at the Philadelphia zoo. Scares the crap out of me, which makes no sense because I've been in a hot air balloon 3 times, and I'm not scared of that!

Hmm that is something to consider, wether to do it in the day or night......Thank You for replying

I have a fear of heights and yet some things bother me and others don't, been wondering if going up in this balloon will scare me too, I was scared to death back in the day when WDW had the gondola ride, did it once and never again

Could you tell me where you found the information on the hot air balloon rides? My family would just love to do this. Thanks

Last Year while taking the water launch to DTD from OKW, the driver pointed the Balloon out to everyone and said about it going to be starting up with rides. I found mention of it in the new passporter for 2010 in the DTD section but it did not go into any detail only listed the price and mentioned it is tethered and rises 400 feet in the air . Hope this helps some, I think it would be something new and fun to do too

It's not a hot air balloon, but a tethered balloon. I think we are giong to try it in Nov, but we will have to split up because DS is only 2 and I don't know about taking him.
