Post Downtown Disney

I thought it would be fun to go on Characters in Flight, in Downtown Disney. I was just wondering what experience everyone has had? Thanks

We wanted to do it in December, but the day we went, they said it was too windy. It was a shame and the wind wasn't that bad, so I'm not sure how often it operates.

Remember, they'll be watching the winds 100+ feet above the ground. There could be 30mph winds (or worse) up there, and a layer of relatively stil air down next to teh ground, where you are.

To the OP: Sorry, I have no experience to share with you. Characters in Flight is a very NEW attraction in DTD; when we were there (January '09), it was still very much under construction.

Dh and I did it in Aug. We really enjoyed it. They do keep a very close eye on the weather. If there is even a hint of wind it will not go up. The view is awesome. We went during the day but hear the night is great too. You can walk around in it also but everyone has to shift at the sametime. I can post some pics if you would like.

I didn't get a chance either, ran out of time, but here's a link to WDWRadio's Lou Mongello who did a little video on it. WDW Radio Videos
It looks really cool, I hope to do it sometime.
