I took a flight with Orlando Balloon Rides recently and wanted to share my photos with you all.

The experience is fantastic! I definitely recommend it. I flew with "Orlando Balloon Rides" which you will see quite often on Groupon. All flights are at sunrise and provide some great views of Orlando and Disney.

The day started with them shuttling us to our take-off location. (Starting and ending location vary depending on wind) Next we were given the opportunity to help them set up the balloons, and then we were off. The flight lasted about an hour. Landing is quite the thrill I must tell you. After landing, we help pack up the balloons and then everyone took part in a champagne toast. Once everything is packed up they take you back to the meeting point and provide breakfast.

Here are the photos I took (including some aerials of Disney)

Thanks for the heads up. I'll leave the album link for now and fix it tomorrow, I think it has to do with Skydrive

Hum, I can see them just fine.

I noticed the page relies on JavaScript, do you have that enabled DH?

With the Groupon it was $120 each adult. I think normal price is around $170.

Thanks for sharing! That looks amazing! A bit pricey, but looks very much worthwhile. Great pics :thumbs:

BTW, at what time did you have to be there? If it ends at breakfast time, that sounds pretty early :lol:
