    I know that there is a “balloon daycare” at Animal kingdom (because they aren’t allowed in the park) but are there any other “balloon daycare centers” in the other parks? (MK, epcot, HS ?)

    Welcome back to planDisney, Sadie! 

    We’re happy to hear from you again, and hope that you’re getting excited for your upcoming trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth! I hope you’ll stay connected to the Disney Parks Blog as you near your vacation to stay up-to-date on the current happenings at Disney World. 

    The Balloon Daycare offered at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park is a great service that Disney offers for people visiting Animal Kingdom who want to keep their balloon friends close by. Cast Members take good care of your balloons so that the animals at Animal Kingdom can be safe from any dangers that may be caused by the magical Disney balloons! It’s really easy to drop off and pick up your balloon so be sure to take full advantage of this amenity while at Animal Kingdom. 

    I reached out to a Cast Member, Hudley, to see if the Balloon Daycare that is offered at Animal Kingdom is available at other theme parks. Hudley let me know that there are not currently any other Balloon Daycares offered on Disney property at this time — Animal Kingdom is unique in this fact! 

    I suggest that if you are not wanting to take your balloon through the theme parks, you should leave it safely resting at your hotel room. This will be the best option for your balloon when not visiting Animal Kingdom! 

    While you are at Animal Kingdom, I highly recommend enjoying some delicious food at Satu’li Canteen when you’re hungry. This is my favorite quick-service dining location at Animal Kingdom, and I am always highly satisfied after dining here! It’s a great way to get out of the sun too. 

    If you have any additional questions, we’d love to hear from you again at planDisney!
