Characters in Flight
Characters in Flight, at Disney Springs has been renamed “Aerophile: The World Leader in Balloon Flight.” This is the tethered balloon attraction that used to feature Disney characters in two previous incarnations.
Custom-built for Disney by Paris-based company Aérophile S.A., the Aéro30 is filled with 210,000 cubic feet of helium. The balloon’s 19-foot-diameter basket holds up to 29 people plus one Aérophile-certified pilot per “flight.” Airborne Guests will be treated to stunning vistas up to 10 miles away.
