Parasailing???????????

[kathyseb]

Has anyone done this through Sammy Duvall?

We will be in the World for our 13th Anniversary and was looking for something special to do.

They offer a regular and a premium flight.

If anyone has done this, would appreciate your thoughts.

Anybody have an idea how high up 600 feet is? For that matter, how high is 450 feet?

Questions from a person that does not go any higher than the second step on a ladder:laughing: :laughing:

We did this abouit three years ago and had a blast. I don't recall having a choice between regular and premium. Our options then were one person or two. Lots of fun; great view of Disney property and complete feeling of safety. I do recall it as being a bit pricey so it wasn't something we would do often. If you're going to do it in the summer, opt for the morning where there's less risk of cancellation due to weather.

My dd's did this a few years ago- What an experience for them! They were able to go up together-

I took this from the boat- thats them high in the sky! (not sure how high they actually were though)

This one I thought would give you an idea of just how it feels when your WAY up there! :)

Landing! The crew of 2 basically just "reels" you back in on the boat. Neither of them ever got wet

I hope that you go for it. My dd's still talk about it!

:clappingh Have a Great time ! Might I suggest a waterproof camera?- The views that you are going to experience are really unique to parasailing-

Are you implying that I will not be holding on for dear life and will actually be able to let go with one hand to snap a few pictures?

:Pssst:

LOL!! I have heard that people have brought their video cameras- They say when you are up there it is actually very peaceful and relaxing (!)

I would love to do this but hubby isn't to keen on going. And I don't want to go by myself.

I don't plan on telling Ron. Will say we need to go to the Contemporary on this partiular day and that is it.
Surprise is the name of the game. Of course I will probably be shaking in my boots all the way over there.

Not meeeeeeee.

[kathyseb]

Thanks everyone for the info.

I booked it today.

Downside is I was hoping DH could get me through it, but we have to go solo.

I will be going first, or I will never do it once I see him as a tiny speck of pixie dust in the sky.:hahahaha: :hahahaha:

[cobbler]

Why do you have to go solo?

Both of you can't go up at the same time??

Together we were over the 350 lb weight restriction.
