Up, Up, and Away

It ‘s fun to be the first.  First across the finish line, first to get premium tickets to the concert, and first to find that overlooked jewel of a wedding venue.  Recently I had the chance to perform the first ceremony in one of the most overlooked venues in Central Florida.  Whether you are traveling Interstate 4, east from the Orlando airport on Highway 417, or from Kissimmee on the Osceola Parkway you can see Characters in Flight from miles and miles away. 

Located at Downtown Disney, Characters in Flight  is the 72 foot yellow and red helium balloon adorned with the images of your favorite characters like Mary Poppins, Peter Pan, and Dumbo.  Soaring to a lofty height of almost 400 feet above the Central Florida landscape the world’s largest tethered gas balloon gives the perfect platform for a wedding with an almost magical background.  In the panoramic view from the top you can see sights of all four Disney theme parks, Sea World, and Universal. 

David and Ashlee were the first couple to tie the knot high above the ground in August.  Unlike hot air balloons the Characters in Flight balloon is an enclosed helium balloon and tethered to the ground via a 400ft steel cable.  Another departure from a traditional balloon ride is that Characters in Flight can comfortably accommodate the bride and groom, along with about 20 of their guests, minister, photographer, and pilot.
