    This was a super fun experience. Never been in a hot air balloon so I can't compare, but I'm afraid…read moreof heights so this one freaked me out enough. My kids and husband really enjoyed it too, and my husband has been in an actual balloon. Overall I did feel pretty safe with the nets and bars on the platform. The price is up there, but not out of line for a Disney attraction. And beware that if there's very much wind they won't go up. Though I saw several flight with quite a bit of wind that still went up. The view is totally amazing through. You can see Epcot and Hollywood Studios, but they've built everything out so you can't see the castle.

I saw the balloon right away and told John I wanted to go and take our grandbabies! It was the last thing we did that day and we took Riley up with us. Barely any wait to board, we purchased our tickets and just had to wait a few minutes and we were walking down the pier. The balloon goes up at the waterfront and gives you a view of Disney Springs. Riley loved it! John and I loved seeing his reaction. Our tethered ascension took us up, hovered for a bit and then the slow descent back to the ground. You can walk around the balloon once you get above a certain height- just a little bumpy for lift off and landing. Trying to teach Riley young not to be afraid!

    I wanted to celebrate my wife's birthday with a hot-air balloon flight. I have heard of Thompson…read moreAire on the radio station for a few years. I researched Thompson's website as well as two other balloon companies. It was easy to make the choice to go with Thompson Aire. Now for my experience. On the confirmation call the evening before the flight I informed Captain Jeff Thompson that this was a special event. Although we were celebrating my wife's birthday, I explained that she doesn't like to be the center of attention. Captain Jeff promised that they would recognize the event without going over the top. They kept their promise with a tasteful birthday recognition and a unique trinket for a birthday gift. We arrived early and my wife only found out that we were taking a balloon flight at the pre-flight briefing. Captain Jeff explained everything so well in the pre-flight and introduction that my wife started to get excited about the adventure. There were two other couples (all strangers) flying that day. Captain Jeff and his crew had us laughing and talking with each other in minutes. They continued the pre-flight explanations outside before we loaded up in there roomy vans to head for the launch site. It was a short drive and the ground crew chatted with us and answered all the questions we had. The crew entertained us with additional information about our upcoming flight and ballooning in general. It was exciting to watch the crew set up and inflate the balloons for the day. They worked well as a team and continued to elevate our confidence in their abilities. Time to climb aboard for lift-up. Getting into the balloon was really easy. We floated gently away and watched the ground crew shrink away beneath us. Balloon flight is difficult to describe but I will try: INCREDIBLE, EXHILIRATING, PHENOMENAL, RELAXING, SOOTHING, SPIRITUAL, AWE-INSPIRING, FUN, FUN AND FUN! The limited number of passengers allowed us to interact with our pilot throughout the entire flight. Two Thompson Aire balloons took flight that day and what luck, we were assigned to Captain Jeff's balloon. This is at the very top of the list of incredible things that I have done. You could not pry the grin off my face with a crowbar. I simply could not stop enjoying myself. My wife was loving it. She says it is the best birthday gift she has ever received. We passed over several neighborhoods, waving at the people below. We even chatted with people on the ground as we floated by. We could hear the call of morning birds in the wooded areas we crossed over. Captain Jeff glided us in for a silky smooth landing followed by a classic champagne toast and more entertainment with the crew and other passengers. The breakfast buffet at the resort gave us all a chance to share how remarkable the flights had been. Both balloons had taken to similar flight paths but at different altitudes so we had stories to share. Then more entertainment from Captain Jeff and the crew. They shared funny experiences while we enjoyed breakfast together. The first flight certificates added to the fun of the day. The website at Thompson Aire is very informative and accurate in the attempt to describe the adventure. But words cannot truly convey the experience that you will have. This is my first balloon flight and when we go again I will choose Thompson Aire. I have been told that there are cheaper bellon flights available. The experience we had with Thompson Aire makes them my only choice.

    Great Staff and wonderful experience! We purchased a balloon flight for the in-laws and our son…read more TA staff members are personable and professional. Their balloons are beautiful and clean especially compared to the other businesses flying that same day. We paid for a regular flight and to our surprise were able to get a private flight which was greatly appreciated. Something that I noticed which really set Thompson Aire apart from the competition is that you're not crammed into a balloon with 15+ people like cattle. Kudos Thompson Aire!

This was our first experience with ballooning and we didn't know what to expect, but Ellen and Gene were super helpful in walking us through the process, and thoroughly answering all of our (well, mainly me..) questions. The flight was very smooth from take-off to landing! Gene did a great job piloting the balloon and Ellen flawlessly provided ground crew support. Unlike the aerial views from an airplane, where it's difficult to see the details of terrain because of the higher altitude, the aerial views from the hot air balloon were very clear and distinguishable. We flew over the Champion's Gate area and the flight lasted about 50 minutes. I brought my DSLR camera, but an modern mobile phone camera would work just as well. Although, at that height, I wish I had a neck strap for my iPhone.. Couple of other things from memory to share: - Our ride started at 6:15 am, which was really cool because we got to watch the sunrise in the balloon - At the altitude we were flying at (~400 ft), it was not cold in the gondola (balloon basket) as I initially expected. It was actually somewhat hot - because when the pilot triggers the propane burner to heat the air, the hot air radiates in all directions - including heating the air above the basket. - We had very calm winds, so the balloon was moving between 5-10 mph. I didn't initially know what speed to expect, but the slower speed made for a very smooth ride. - Ballooning is a regulated industry, so operators must perform annual inspections on their equipment. I felt safe the entire time. - Gene has over 9 yrs experience as a balloon pilot so he's well-trained. I was thoroughly impressed by how smooth the landing was. - You meet up the Aerostat crew at a predetermined location, and they take you in a van to the launch site and they drive you back. - At the end of the flight, they provide you with champagne, orange juice, and some cookies as a token of appreciation for flying with them. I would definitely fly with Aerostat in the future.

They are extremely well trained and know what they are doing. The ride smooth and the view was amazing-- it was truly a once in a lifetime experience. They even had mimosas and snacks waiting for us when we landed. Would definitely recommend.

The pricing for the ride is inexpensive and the photo package is at a price so good it's a steal. Every staff member we interacted with was beyond friendly. There wasn't a single moment we felt unaware or unsafe. Tipping isn't required, but with the level of professionalism given it would of felt wrong not to leave a tip. If you're planning on visiting any theme parks while in Orlando I'd recommend taking the helicopter ride sometime after visiting the park or parks you'll be flying over. For us this made seeing Universal Studios from above extra special because we had the lay out of the ground view fresh in our minds.

This particular company has two locations operating in Orlando. I stopped by the northern location with a plan to take the Disney parks tour that I had seen online. I found that the pricing structure was designed based on flight time. This means that, since those parks are close to the southern location, it is cheaper to drive to that location and fly out of there, the southern location. I did just that and drove to the southern location. The store is located near the intersection of Vineland and Regency Center Drive. The office was immaculate and nice. You sign a waiver and they explain the safety briefing. You need at least 2 people or you have to wait for another person unless you want to pay for both seats. As I said I took the Disney package tour which gives you a great view of all the Disney parks from there. This location is the best place to take this tour for the decreased price. If you want to see the northern sights I would suggest going to the northern location as you will get more for your flight time. The pilot was very friendly, knowledgeable, and competent. The flight was about 15 minutes. It was excellent and along the route, the pilot did a great job of pointing out the various sights and answering my questions. The view is wonderful and the flight was fun. I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants a unique once-in-a-lifetime event.
