Thank you to Becky Norman, Daniel Record and Jamee Smith for your wonderful notes! I really appreciate them!

Welcome back to Michelle Thompson and Jennifer Harmon! And have a magical time to Amanda Wright!

And, Amanda, to answer your question, I live a thousand miles from Walt Disney World, so I can’t go every month. 🙁 But other members of our team do live locally, so they are there very frequently! Someday, I want to be local too!

This was Challenge #188:

And here’s the answer:

Peter Pan is soaring with the other flying Disney characters across the Characters in Flight balloon! Or Bruce Hinterleitner as put it, “the big bad balloon ride at Downtown Disney”. 😉 You can ride the tethered, helium balloon yourself on the West Side of Downtown Disney. If you are afraid of heights, I’d say don’t do it. I rode with people who made themselves go and they were so terrified, they couldn’t enjoy it. However, I do recommend this for the incredible view! You’ll see Epcot, the Contemporary, maybe a peek of the castle and more (I loved that I could see into the old Adventurers Club building.) I rode in the day and now want to do it at night!

Russ Morgan was the first to send in the correct answer for the challenge!
