Enjoy a tranquil hour floating above the sights and attractions of the Orlando area. Flights leave from any of our 25 different locations in the WALT DISNEY WORLD Resort area but we check in every morning at the Radisson Resort Orlando -Celebration in Kissimmee. Once airborne the pilot will point out the spectacular sights from the theme parks to the orange groves, forest, and swamps that have been untouched for thousands of years. Complimentary Champagne Toast after flight and full breakfast. Children 10 and under fly free with each paying adult. « less

“A very good experience with a dedicated and friendly crew”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 22, 2012 NEW

The persons who knocked this company about cancellations must think the company controls the weather. In my case they canceled 3 times account of weather and were most helpful in rescheduling my ride. The crew was most competent and did everything possible to provide an enjoyable experience. We landed on a very unused road across from a school and a... More

“Excellent Experience for EVERYONE!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 22, 2012 NEW

You do not need to be an air lover to do this. If you are ok going with an escalator inside a commercial center then you can definitively do this experience! You don't believe me? Well just take with you your cup of coffee or a glass of water and you will notice that during the ballon flight the liquid... More

“Wonderful experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 18, 2012 NEW

This was me/my wife's first balloon flying experience - hence really enjoyed it. We flew on Valentine's day with 5 other couples on board - romance was in the air with 1 of the couples proposing. The landing was a bit rough. I would suggest folks wearing clothes which they wont mind getting dirty as the pilot voluntarily requests for... More

This was a brilliant experience and one i will never forget, the only bad thing about it all was the early start, but i guess to see that amazing sunrise you have to get up early !!!! WE met at the Radison hotel (just off the 192) at 6am, we had a talk and signed documents before being assigned a... More

“An extraordinary ride in the skies!”

This was an adventure that will never leave our memories. Right from the early rise to the breakfast, the whole event played out to perfection.  We were given transportation to the launch site by the staff (who were absolutely top class from start to finish).  If you wanted you could even take part in setting up the balloon. The balloon ride was... More

We tried three times to reschedule, they cancelled every time for weather and were of no help rescheduling. They didn't want to talk on the phone and often wouldn't answer. If it wasn't for the other reviews I would wonder if they ever fly. They don't deserve your money as they don't seem willing to work for it. We had... More

Hello and thank you for your feedback. I do have some issues with your unfair criticism. Firstly, you mentioned that you had to reschedule 3 different times and in the same sentence said you had difficulty rescheduling. This, I'm afraid does not make any sense. Orlando Balloon Rides automatically sends you an email if we cancel due to weather. You... More

Go with another company. This company is not flexible with their customers. They do not care if you need to reschedule, even if your sister is in the hospital with blood clots. They will charge anyways, and not call/e-mail you back. More

Hello, I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience trying to reschedule. We will certainly allow you to go again. The only time when we will not allow you to reschedule without penalty is if you don't show up without letting us know. If this is the case, we generally only charge you half even when we are inconvenienced and... More
