Why purchase a balloon on your next Walt Disney World trip? Sure, they’re an iconic souvenir. What’s more, though, they have multiple uses that could make your vacation a whole lot easier. Make your balloon work for you. From the minds of our own balloon vendors, here are some Walt Disney World balloon hacks.
STROLLER LOCATOR
An excellent excuse for a balloon purchase is a stroller locator. Loop the balloon weight around the handle of your stroller a couple times. Tie it in a strong knot for extra security. Now, you can easily spot yours in a sea of strollers.
VEHICLE LOCATOR
Similarly, you can use your balloon to quickly locate your vehicle in the parking lot. Roll up your window with a small bit of the balloon string and weight inside your car. Alternatively, use your sunroof for the same results. You’ll be able to quickly locate your car without walking in aimless circles.
DIY BALLOON WEIGHT CRAFTS
Everyone dreads the thought of returning home after a Disney vacation. So, think of it this way. You get a fun balloon to enjoy now. Then, you have a fun craft to look forward to at home. Every balloon purchased at Walt Disney World Resort will come with at least one complimentary Mickey shaped weight. Get creative. Use your balloon weights to create magnets, keychains, paperweights, and more.

REINFLATE YOUR BALLOON
Just because your balloon doesn’t fit in your suitcase, doesn’t mean you need to pop it. All Rubio Arts balloons from Walt Disney World Resort are built to be deflated and inflated again.
If you’re flying from Orlando International Airport (MCO), then you can get your balloon deflated at the airport. Magic of Disney store cast members at MCO are specially trained to deflate Rubio Arts balloons.
However, if you’re not flying home, it is definitely possible to deflate your own balloons. For more details on how to deflate your own balloon, click here. If kept in good enough condition, your balloon can then be reinflated when you return home.
