Goodyear Blimp over WDW today

[ljs1691]

Little off topic...but if you ever get the chance to ride in the Goodyear blimp, it really is a super ride. Feels like floating up there like a cloud.

That said - OMG!! Tons of people at the parks today.

I agree, I was suprised at the amount of people there yesterday. ToT never really got a long wait, but I never saw RnRC lower than 60 minutes, and walking around the park was surprisingly difficult for this time of year, same at Epcot.

I get to see these blimps 3-4 times a year here in Indy as usually they are here for the Indy 500,Brickyard 400,a Colts game usually 1-2 so I love getting to see the variations(goodyear,outback,Met,McDonalds,etc...) I remember the one year the Goodyear blimp like 50 feet over my house as it was stored at the small airport near my house and had just taken off.

The Goodyear blimp in this topic is currently docked at a small executive airport near my house. wooo hooo It gets really close to the rooftops during takeoff and landing. If I only had longer arms.

Hi, hi, first post and all that!

Just wanted to post this here since I see people talking about it. Saturday the 1st was my families last day of our first trip at WDW, and it seems the Goodyear Blimp came to see us off on our way home. Well, that's what I'm going to tell people. But here is a shot I took of the blimp from Epcot.

Thanks! Honestly? It was the greatest 8 straight days of my families life. We went on point from my best friends mom's vacation club, and we have decided to figure out a way to become members ourselves so we can go more often. Next trip is planned for 2 years from now. Greatest place on earth.

Figuring out a way to do DVC? You can start by telling them I'm the one who referred you so I can get some Disney Dollars from them. :lol:

Seriously though -- make sure you let them know your friend's mom clued you in on the "best kept Disney secret" so she'll get a nice little reward.

Thanks for that! I'll be sure to do just that!
