*** I received an
all-expense paid trip to FL, courtesy of Experience Kissimmee, to experience these
great attractions.. My opinions are 100% my own and have not been influenced in
any way.***
One of the thing I have wanted to do ever since I was a little
girl was to go up in a hot air balloon. There is just something about being up
there way above the city and being a bird of sorts. This was a bucket list item
for me that is for sure. So when I heard I would be able to go on a hot air balloon ride with Orlando Balloon Adventures, I was beyond
excited. For this trip we were up with the birds, literally and figuratively,
up at 4:30am heading for the flight.
Did you know that hot air balloons can take off at sun rise
and can only fly once a day? It has to do with the safety, and the win, the win
are the most easy to work with for the balloon operators early in the morning,
then later in the day they are more unpredictable. Some who may be concerned with taking a hot
air balloon ride, need not be. Orlando Balloon Adventures went over and over
and over again every weather test, they were meticulous.
They even checked with
other hot air balloon companies, to see if all was well. There was no
competition there was only safety for the flight in mind. If everything was not
perfect, we were not going to fly, that was it… there was no messing with safety.
The winds cooperated and we were ready to fill the balloon and soon we would be
ready for the flight.
"Have you ever wanted
to feel like a bird gently gliding through the skies. Well it's time for your
Orlando Hot Air Balloon Adventure. It's an amazing feeling that I'm sure you
will want to do more than once. It's a peaceful feeling that words cannot
explain. Calling this just a balloon ride would truly be an understatement. Somewhere
between Heaven and Mother Earth lies your Orlando Hot Air Balloon Adventure.
Mother Earth is only a few feet below and you can really appreciate her beauty
from here. View nature as you've never seen it before. It is not uncommon to
see deer, turkey and an array of birds and predators. Every flight has a
memorable moment for me and I'm sure that you'll have one too."
Or will the balloon take us over Orange Groves or even the Green Swamp? Well we
were a bit between some swamp and the orange groves. We went up 2000 feet and
traveled just about 3 miles in one hour. It was breathtaking being up so high,
seeing so much and just feeling like a bird this was priceless!
The balloons are made to carry two to four passengers, the
larger balloons can carry six to ten passengers. The gondolas are partitioned
with padded sidewalls for your protection.
At Orlando Balloon Adventures, you can plan for a romantic adventure, or
a family adventure it is up to you. They have special gondolas, with an additional
partition so that couples can have a more private romantic experience. Orlando
Balloon Adventures is the only hot air balloon company in the area to offer a separate
