Flight Experience

Your ballooning adventure begins when you meet your pilot and crew an hour before sunrise at the Black Angus Steak House restaurant in the town of Kissimmee. After the pilot gauges the wind direction and checks the weather, you head out in the chase vehicle to the selected launch site.

Upon reaching the launch site before dawn, you become a "designated crewmember" and gain first-hand ballooning experience as you help your pilot inflate and prepare the balloon for flight.

Launching shortly after sunrise, you will rise effortlessly from the ground to nearly 3,000 feet. Along the way, enjoy the beautiful panoramic views of the Central Florida countryside. Take pictures. Or, relax and become one with the clouds. The length of the flight itself is approximately an hour long; but that does depend upon the weather, the winds, fuel consumption, and landing site availability.

Back on the ground, you'll enjoy a traditional champagne celebration held at the landing site and receive a First-flight Certificate to commemorate your flight and initiate you into the Magic Sunrise Ballooning Aeronautical Association. After the balloon is loaded up into the trailer, you'll head back with the crew to Black Angus Steak House Restaurant and enjoy an unlimited breakfast buffet.

Meeting Location

You will meet your pilot and crew one hour before sunrise at the Black Angus Steak House restaurant in Kissimmee. After pre-flight plans are made, you'll head to the determined launch site to prepare the balloon for a sunrise lift off. Please allow yourself plenty of travel time to reach our meeting place.
