Disney Balloon – A Blog About Disney Stuff

There’s a new Disney balloon for Star Wars fans! Those who visit Disney Springs will discover a brand new Baby Yoda Disney balloon. The Baby Yoda craze took off months ago when viewers were first introduced to “The Child” on The Mandalorian.

Look for Cast Members carrying balloons to see if they have the new Baby Yoda balloon available. It’s sure to be big hit for those who enjoy the the Star Wars character. We’re sure the balloon will be available inside the Walt Disney World theme parks once they reopen in July.

“This is the way.”

Also, if you’re going to Disney Springs, then look around for a Star Wars surprise! A pair of First Order Stormtroopers have invaded Disney Springs and can be seen in the upper level near the shopping district side of World of Disney. They’re stationed on the balconies, so look up to see if you can spot them.

You can find their patrol stations on balconies with the First Order banners. For fun, wear your Star Wars apparel to Disney Springs and show your allegiance to either the Resistance or First Order. The Stormtroopers might provide amusing commentary depending upon their interaction with each guest. Of course, they could also tell you to “move along” to promote social distancing.

Balloon room

It’s every Disney fan’s dream to get behind the scenes at Walt Disney World. Hence the proliferation of backstage-type tours and documentaries. We also, on rare and beautiful occasions, get an extra peek online. That is what happened when Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Creative Photographer, Chloe Rice, decided to take her camera into the “balloon room” at Magic Kingdom park.

According to Rice, the balloon room is so full of balloons that it is hard to get the door closed behind you. Talk about a magical experience! Being surrounded by inflated Mickey heads, all different colors, almost like clouds in a Disney World sky. She brought lighting equipment and an assistant but ended up needing neither, as this beautiful photograph was a spur-of-the-moment capture; a moment never to be duplicated, and for some of us, only available to experience in photographic form.

Walt Disney World is known for many things, with balloons falling somewhere on the top of the list. For many families a trip wouldn’t be complete without the purchase of one of these floating memorabilia. Walking down Main Street would be lacking if a friendly Cast Member did not greet us with a mass of colorful Mickey heads bouquet-ed above them. How many times have we seen an iconic photo of someone borrowing those balloons to hold in front of the castle? Too many to count.

Rice has given us an uncommon glimpse into a version of Walt Disney World usually reserved for Cast Members. She has proven to us that, once again, Disney is every bit as magical behind the scenes.
