Hi all,
I am looking at taking my wife on a balloon flight over the magic place for our 25th wedding anniversary.
Has anyone done this and who would you recommend. I see there are several companies who operate balloons.
Thanks.

Another vote for Orange Blossom.

Please note though that balloons do not go over any Disney park. We could just about make out the Epcot golf ball in the distance, but don't expect to see anything Disney. What you will see however is some outstanding views across swamps, lakes and fields. Try and get a picture with another balloon reflection in a lake.

Well worth the cost and early start. Breakfast was included.

Another Orange Blossom vote here !! Very knowledgeable and experienced.

They were really good, we met early, drove to the site, all helped with the preparation and got to know each other. The flight was amazing, I'm scared of heights but this was magical, I was amazed at how quiet and peaceful it was up there. It depends on the weather as to where, and how high you go, but we could see Disney clearly in the distance.

After landing we all packed away, had a champagne toast and went back to the meeting place for a buffet breakfast.

Can't recommend it enough.

Same review as above,, orange blossom has a few names,, if you pay cash you get a discount (no tax added)

very nice

I think that WDW is a no fly zone, so they cant take you over Disney itself, still would be an amazing experience. I believe there is a company called Bluewater Balloons

Im sure, orlando balloons, orange blossom and blue water are the same company ,

After 911 disney is a no fly zone,,

Not sure how the "Jesus loves you" guy gets away with it

We went with Bob's Balloons but I think its merged with Orange Blossom now and they all work together?

Was fantastic and would recommend it. We could see the theme parks from the balloon and got some lovely photos. Take a look at my last trip report as there is a few photos and a review of the trip in there (day 5).
