Question: What is Characters In Flight?

Characters In Flight is a very unique experience offered at Downtown Disney in Florida. It is an exclusive hot air balloon ride designed for all ages to enjoy! A magnificent hand painted helium balloon takes you on an 8 – 10 minute ride high in the sky! You will have a 360 degree view of the Downtown Disney area! This will include the Cirque du Soleil tent, resorts and surrounding theme parks areas! You will have to look to see exactly what you can make out from your ride in the sky!

Somethings you should know before you go!

Maximum capacity is affected by wind speeds. The balloon will not fly if winds exceed 22 mph or if there is a storm. Please note that the balloon is tethered and will not travel beyond 400 feet at any time.
