Good afternoon Hemalatha,
My name is Amy and I am a Wilderness Explorer, I mean planDisney Panelist, in the Class of 2023. It looks like you are in need of assistance today, and I'm happy to oblige!
As a big fan of Disney Pixar's
Up, I always associate balloons with adventure and happy memories. There is something so iconic about a classic Mickey balloon purchased in the parks, you can't help but smile as you spot them bobbing around. We've used them to help locate our parked stroller or quickly spot a member of our travel party in a crowd. They also typically stay inflated for quite some time, and as such, are a great way to relieve the magic of your vacation all over again back home.
Though these colorful souvenirs are sure to delight kids and kids at heart, traveling with them can sometimes pose a challenge. Airlines may require you to deflate them prior to boarding, but that doesn't mean the magic has to end as you step foot into the airport. As long as you deflate them carefully, you'll likely be able to reinflate them once you've arrived home from your vacation.
I just chatted with a
Disneyland Resort Cast Member, and unfortunately, they are not able to reinflate balloons purchased at
Walt Disney World Resort in Florida at
Disneyland Park or
Disney California Adventure Park. Instead, you can try bringing your Walt Disney World Resort balloon to your local party store or florist to see if they can offer any assistance. I haven't done so myself, but I've heard that many will reinflate for a fee.
If you're planning to try and float your house to Paradise Falls in the near future, you are welcome to purchase a new balloon to commemorate your visit to
Disneyland Resort. As Charles Muntz said, "adventure is out there" and I can't think of a more adventurous way to travel than by floating off on a bouquet of Disney Parks balloons. If you do end up in Paradise Falls be sure to keep an eye out for Kevin and her babies.
If we can be of further assistance please don't hesitate to visit us again here at
planDisney. We're always happy to help a fellow Wilderness Explorer, member of the Grape Soda Club, or any guest looking to make magical Disney Parks memories.
Thanks for the adventure, now go have a new one!
Amy
