Like almost everything else in the planner it may vary by date/ship - shows $70 for me.

Buy a real balloon ride near your home, more expensive, but you will see a lot more.

I'll let you know, as it's our first planned stop off the tram when we get there. Sure we'll cross paths before we get there.

November: Freedom 4-day: $69.99 USD Adult   $40.99 USD Child
November: Symphony 7-day: $74.00 USD Adult   $44.00 USD Child
April: Symphony 7-day: $65.99 USD Adult   $38.99 USD Child

May: Explorer 6-day:  $65.99 USD Adult   $38.99 USD Child

As to whether it's worth it or not, that's entirely subjective.  It's essentially an open-air elevator, it goes straight up and straight down.  Not worth it to me, but others might enjoy it.

well they have to re coup the cost of building Coco Cay.  And the cost of not doing cruising for almost a year.   I mean that is saying something when Disney is less in price for something.  ha ha.   And I do like DCL too.

FWIW... We were just off Freedom last week with 2 stops at Coco Cay, and due to wind the balloon never lifted off either Tuesday or Thursday.

I’ve seen some videos that were enough to make me NOT want to ride that balloon. Just saying I’ll be staying on the ship that entire day.

We did it when it was new (Think it was June 2019) and it was great.    Of course we only paid $24.99 per adult.   We were up for about 15 minutes.  It gets canceled a good bit because of the winds.  We could only go up half the height because of winds the day we booked.   The operator  is knowledgeable and provides lots of history and  info on how the balloon actually works.  Glad we did it at $24.99, as I doubt I would pay the current prices. 

 

Great views of Coco Cay from above.

Significantly too! It's $25 for adults or $20 for kids at Disney.
