I'm going on the Characters of Flight balloon!, originally uploaded by eblackwell.
What a fantastic experience! I was like a little kid!
We had abut a dozen people at least including one man who kept saying "I hate heights. What am I doing?" He even said it repeatedly as he walked around taking pictures: What am I doing? LOL! A family was up there except the father; one of them leaned down to shout to him, and then noticed he was talking to someone. "He is. He's talking to my husband!" I told them, and when we landed, they all went up and said hi to John. That was really nice of them!
The mother asked: How high are we? Don't tell me until we come down!
I got great photos of Epcot and a few other things from the air, and videod the whole thing. Too soon, we had to come down.
Joey was a great cast member. I would love to do this at night too, and I highly recommend to everyone!

NOW I'm jealous. I tried to do this in May, but it was just windy enough that each flight was touch and go. So they'd sell 10 tickets, load them up, send the balloon up, bring it down, check for clearance to send the next flight up, sell 10 more tickets, rinse, repeat. I waited 45 minutes and if my math was right, I'd have waited 90 minutes more before I got on. So I waved goodbye to the pretty balloon and went on my merry way!
