Hi Scott,
I am a big fan of
Characters In Flight at Downtown Disney and consider myself a frequent flyer.
They do not accept reservations for Characters In Flight nor do they sell advanced tickets because weather is a huge factor in determining whether or not this attraction will be operating. Weather conditions also determine the number of Guests who may board the gondola for any given flight. I think there are too many variables to sell advanced tickets.
Weather permitting, the hours of operation are every day from 8:30 a.m. to midnight. In my experience, the lines have typically been shorter early in the morning. If you go then and get on with a short wait, you'll start your day off at Downtown Disney on a high note and leave the rest of your day free to shop for those must have souvenEARs.
Current Ticket Prices (always subject to change without notice) are:
* $18 Adult (tax not included) - Guests ages 10 and up
* $12 Children (tax not included) - Guests ages 3 - 9
* Free for Guests 2 and under
Be sure to take your camera and binoculars if you have them. On a clear day you can see for miles.
Please feel free to visit with any other questions. We're thrilled to assist you!
Wishing you minnie magical memories :-) Allison
