There are still plenty of warm days left this year.
I wonder what other groupon/livingsocial deals there are at WDW...

Honestly, it's not scary at all - my father did it with me as a birthday present a few years ago and we had an absolute blast. It was pouring rain, but once we got up in the air, you could barely tell. Although the view was comprised due to the storm clouds, it was still amazing. We always talk about it doing it again someday. You'll have a great time!

Thanks for the thoughts! I'm a little nervous... but it's more excitment than nervous. My son who is basically afraid of everything is very excited about it... how very odd! :shrug:

There's nothing to be nervous about - you'll really enjoy it. The whole ascent/descent is so smooth you barely realize what's happening. You are strapped into the harness and before you know it you're up in the air. It's very calm and quiet - we couldn't believe how peaceful it was, even with the rain.

Can someone explain the process of how you Parasail? Specifically at Disney. I've never done anything like this before and wondered how you ascend and descend. Also it says you do not get wet. Do you have to do something or does the person in the boat control that? Do you have to do anything while you are up there? I may want to try this as I saw someone do this last year and it looked fun. How does this work?

We need time for things to happen.
They harness you up on the back of the boat. The force of the wind begins to pull you off the back of the boat as they slowly "reel" you out. The same thing happens in reverse they reel you back in and you land safely and dryly :animwink:On the back of the boat. My daughter and i did it tandem when we are wdw she was 8 - she is 15 now...wow time flies
You will love it and i have to say the view is amazing.

Thanks for the response! About how long does the whole process take? I know the actual thing is like 10 min, but how long from when you show up until your done?
Also, can other people in your party be on the boat with you?
What do you wear? Shorts & a tank top ok?

No problem shorts tank top and water shoes. Yes you can bring someone with you. The two girls we were with brought one of their boyfriends with them.
He had a camera and was taking shots of them. He actually used my camera and took an amazing shot of my daughter and i on The boat deck so bring someone with you witha a camera.
The whole thing from paying waiting to get on the boat, parisailng and returning was about 45 minutes if i remember right.
I dont know if its necessary, but we made reservations ahead time before we left on vaca.
Also - the guys on that run the thing had a tip jar, i had no idea and had no cash on me, but i always feel weird in those situations and like to throw a couple of bucks at the guys if i can. Dont know if you care but it stuff i like to know.
It was a blast and im glad we did it.
