Anthem North Star & helium balloon ride at Coco Cay?

[Loralie]

I will be on Anthem in November.  I will be doing North Star, which is free.  Should I pay for the helium balloon ride at Coco Cay or are they basically the same thing?  If you have done both, do you feel it was worth the money for the balloon ride?

 

thanks,

No one can tell you how to spend your money.  People have reported being very satisfied with the value of their balloon ride.

 

The two things - NorthStar and balloon - are different experiences.

• We have been on North Star several times and on a balloon ride and they are not even close, IMO.  North Star is enclosed and the balloon ride is open and you get a much different experience.  If price is not a concern I would do the balloon ride, it will be a wonderful experience.

Having never done either, my opinion is kind of moot...

 

BUT what I have done is the Balloon at Disney Springs. I can understand that the price at CC is a crazy high, the experience is awesome! Being in the balloon just gives you an amazing view and you feel the air.

 

I would equate the balloon to going Parasailing. You are high in the air with a great view. In my opinion...I would live life to the fullest and do both!
