Upon Rebekah’s first visit to the Magic Kingdom she begged for a Mickey Head balloon. I stalled her day after day hoping she would stop asking or forget she wanted one – I just felt it was silly to pay such a high price, $10.00 at that time, for something that would have to be carried around all day and could not be put in our suitcase to come home. She did not forget and she did not stop asking, so I did purchase her a balloon toward the end of our stay. We ended up deflating it, to this day we still have that first Magic Kingdom-Mickey Mouse balloon in a scrap book.
So here is my Quick Tip – if they ask, buy that balloon but buy it on the first day. This way you can enjoy it in all it’s glory for your whole vacation stay, then you too can place your deflated balloon in a scrap book. ºoº
Side Note~ You can not bring balloons to Animal Kingdom Lodge
You cannot bring balloons from the parks to AKL. The balloon could float out into the savannah and injure the animals. If you do happen to bring back a balloon they will hold it for you until checkout, but it cannot be taken back to your room.
