The Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando is known for entertainment and rides. Nearby Downtown Disney has been added as an area with shopping, dining and shows. You can see the area on foot, by water taxi and even from the air on a giant balloon.

Characters In Flight is that giant beige balloon, and it rises 400 feet in the air over the shopping plaza. Situated on the water's edge, the beige balloon, adorned with likeness of Disney characters, including Mary Poppins, ascends over the lake, offering great views of the restaurants, stores and the surrounding countryside.

A Real Helium Balloon at Disney

This attraction isn’t a mechanical marvel like many of the Disney rides, but a true, floating balloon, powered by nature. The helium makes the balloon rise, but the balloon is safely tethered, and limited to the maximum height of 400 feet.
