This is that balloon thing at DTD, right? How long are you in the air for?

It's comparable to Panaromagique's pricing at DLP, which according to the official site is 12 Euros (which is about 16 USD).

A bit expensive though for an entire family to do it. I was hoping the price would be a bit less, but I'll likely try it once sometime in the future.

I'm curious for how long you will be up there though.

Six minutes.

Six minutes.

Plus ascent and descent I think. The descent is being refurbed on third shift.....oh wait..........

 

[disneytopdog]

Are you strapped into a seat or can you move freely around the basket? It would stink if you were in the seats or area that overlook the highway or some non disney view.

Pretty sure you can walk around freely.

The price seems fine. We will probably try this out when we visit next time.

Not bad! I was expecting "Disney Pricing" for this.:lol:

Nice.

Eh... it kind of is Disney pricing. $64 for a typical family of 4 to go up for 6 minutes.

True. Could be 64 a person though.:shrug:

 

[brucie]

Not to bad, I would try it. As long as it was under $20.00 although with the exchange for me it will be close to $20.00 Oh well it looks fun

Absolutely! I think the price is decent considering that most hot air balloon rides can be quite expensive. You know not many people will ever have the opportunity to do an activity like this, it's reasonable and accessible seems like it would be fun.

I've wanted to do this at DLP, but there's always been a line and/or I was on a tight timeline. The scenery in Marne La Vallee is so green and lush ... and I can imagine it is spectacular from that height ... you also likely can see some of Paris (Eiffel Tower, perhaps) from there.

But I have zero interest in doing it in the Lightning Capital of the World ... I can great views from the roof of the Contemporary or the old Arthur's 23 at the Palace without being a human lightning rod.

I thought that was part of the fun! Will you be electrocuted or not???? WHO KNOWS!!!!!

 

[mikeb_86]

Not bad pricing!!! Its looks like this will be cool to see!!!

 

[jt04]

I agree the pricing is reasonable but they really need a "value added" aspect to this. A choice of exclusive collectible character pins or commemorative "tickets" would be a nice feature IMO.

Maybe I'm not exactly sure what this is or what's so special about it, but $16 for a ride does sound like a lot to me.. :shrug:

It costs $15 to do something similar at the Philadelphia Zoo, and there's not nearly as much pretty stuff to take pictures of there. So, for once, I don't think Disney overpriced this.

Whether it's worth it or not really depends on how much you like seeing/taking pictures of beautiful scenery. I wouldn't miss this for the world, but I have a camera attached at my hip!
