Hot Air Balloon flight in Orlando, Florida
Unforgettable hot air balloon rides over scenic central Florida in the Orlando and Disney World area
We can only fly safely in the morning and will meet just before sunrise to set up. A fan inflates the balloon with cold air until there is enough air for the pilot to begin heating it with the burners. Once the balloon is fully upright, the pilot will invite passengers to board, the pilot heats the air again and soon the balloon will begin to lift gracefully into the air. No turbulence or wind is felt when airborne, because you are "floating" with the wind. During the flight, the burners are used periodically to keep the balloon "lighter than air".
Once airborne, it's time to enjoy the flight and experience the breathtaking views. You may take photos if you wish to go with the memories you'll never forget from Painted Horizons Hot Air Balloon Tours. After the flight, we enjoy a champagne or sparkling cider toast with pastries, cheese and crackers.
High winds or rain prevent us from flying. We will call you the evening prior to your scheduled flight for current weather conditions. Should your scheduled flight be cancelled due to inclement weather, we will reschedule your flight for the next available flight date that fits into your schedule.
We encourage our passengers to participate in both the inflation and deflation of the balloon. We have found it adds greatly to the fun of the entire ballooning experience.
