Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Kathie! Thanks for stopping by and bringing us such a great question!
Nothing says I just visited the Walt Disney World Resort like a magical Disney Balloon. These iconic souvenirs are a must for any kid, or grandchild visiting the Parks.
They’re also great at helping parents identify their strollers in what seems like a sea of strollers that all look so similar. I know I've been glad to have those balloons attached to my stroller when it's been rearranged. It's like a floating beacon of magic!
Kathie, I just checked with Guest Services and the friendly cast member I spoke to said they don’t believe deflated balloons are available at the Parks, but recommended asking the Cast Member selling the balloons to see if they have any on-hand. Also, and maybe this varies by airline, but I’ve seen some of those beauties on my flights. I recall a flight attendant alerting the passenger holding it that it might pop, but they allowed it on the aircraft. Have you checked with your airline? Another idea is to pierce a small hole on the bottom that you might be able to patch up once you arrive home. That way you can have the best of both worlds!
I hope this helps! Wishing you a most magical upcoming visit to
the place where the magic is endless! Please do come back and see us again soon for any additional planning tips, advice, or questions that might come up as you dream up and plan this most memorable visit.
TTFN- Ta ta for now!
