I finally was able to ride the Characters in Flight helium balloon last night and it was awesome! I didn't take my camera, so I didn't take any photos. The flight was around 7:15pm when we went up. The sun was still very much up, but it was nice. You could see a good distance around the property and beyond in some areas. I really think that if you time it right you could be on the flight when the fireworks* are going off at Epcot or at Magic Kingdom. I would imagine many, many others would try this too! It was really a neat perspective! I think that it can be romantic too... even if it only lasts 10 minutes total. I am looking forward to doing it again sometime.
*Don't forget how long the fireworks are...... Wishes is approximately 12 minutes and Illuminations is 12.5 minutes.
