Ballooning

Bob's Balloons. Flying since 1980, Bob will meet you in the predawn hours at the ChampionsGate golf resort before heading to one of several popular launch sites, where you'll watch your balloon being prepared to go up, up, and away. Then you'll float between the treetop level and as high as 1,000 feet for about an hour, with views of farms and forest land, along with horses, deer, wild boar, cattle, and birds flying below you. In the distance, you’ll likely see Disney landmarks like the Animal Kingdom's Expedition Everest and Epcot's Spaceship Earth. Several balloons often launch at roughly the same time from nearby destinations, which provides an unparalleled sightline of these colorful sky ornaments. The memories will last forever, and perhaps even longer when Bob presents a flash drive of images from your flight. Orlando, Florida. 407/466–6380; 877/824–4606; www.bobsballoons.com. From $195 per person. Credit cards accepted.
