Description
AEROPHILE BALLOON FLIGHT AT DISNEY SPRINGS
The Disney Springs Aerophile Balloon Ride, officially called Aerophile – The World Leader in Balloon Flight, is a popular attraction in Disney Springs that offers breathtaking aerial views of the Walt Disney World Resort and the surrounding Orlando area.
This isn’t a traditional hot-air balloon; it’s a tethered helium balloon. The balloon is 19 feet in diameter and rises up to 400 feet in the air, providing a safe, controlled experience. Once airborne, guests enjoy a spectacular 360° view of up to 10 miles in every direction on clear days. You can spot landmarks within Disney World, including EPCOT’s Spaceship Earth and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, as well as glimpses of Orlando.
Each flight lasts about 8-10 minutes. You have plenty of time to take photos, enjoy the scenery, and experience the thrill of floating high above Disney Springs. The balloon can hold up to 29 guests, but numbers may vary depending on weather conditions. The ride is designed to be family-friendly and safe for people of all ages, though it can be subject to weather cancellations.
The Aerophile balloon at Disney Springs is the largest hand-painted helium balloon in the world! During the day, the views of Disney Springs and beyond are vibrant and scenic. In the evening, the balloon is illuminated, providing a romantic, unique view of the area’s night lights.
It’s a memorable experience for visitors looking to add a bit of adventure to their Disney Springs outing and is especially popular with those celebrating special occasions!
