I'm a member of the ground crew at Character In Flight!!! I am so excited beyond words. It's amazing!! First day was yesterday. Anyone in the Disney area stop by and say hello to Zach :-)

It's been really fascinating to learn about the balloon and how it works. I love it!!!

Congrats! Did they ever manage to provide some Shade for you guys?
The last time I went up in that balloon I couldn't help but notice that the ground crew had to stand in the hot Florida sun all day.

For those of you havn't been on it, you should do it! The views are Spectacular!

FYI, I was exploring the Aerophile website (they are the balloon company that I work for that made the balloon), and they have live webcams from several of the balloons that Aerophile made, including Characters In Flight!!

Check out the link. Watch the balloon anytime you like! I'm likely to pop up sometime LOL

Here is the site. The webcam is at the bottom of the page. It should be labeled 'Webcam WDW'

Yes, we now have some FABULOUS red umbrellas to provide shade :-)

Let me join in with everyone else in offering congratulations on scoring the position. I'll be heading to WDW on Saturday and am planning on visiting DTD on Wednesday the 27th. My wife is in a power wheelchair (she's not going on this trip) and one of my missions is to check out the space around the balloon to see how her chair will fit. It's fairly long and I couldn't find the dimensions anywhere, so I'll be checking it out in person. Look forward to meeting you.
