In July my daughter and I were able to go parasailing on Bay Lake.
Sammy Duvall’s Watersports is located at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. They offer more than just parasailing; they also offer water skiing, personal water crafts & tubing
We had the deluxe package flying 600 foot above the World. We were on Bay Lake on a state of the art parasailing boat. The boat allowed us to take off and land right on the back of the boat. We flew the tandem flight. This allowed us to see Cinderella’s Castle, The Polynesian, the Grand Floridian and the surrounding area, with a bird’s eye view. This was so peaceful and intoxicating. The 10-12 minutes flying like a bird with the wind in my face with my daughter next to me, was one of the most amazing things we have ever done together.
When we arrived, we signed in and filled out our Liability Forms. All minors need to have a parent or guardian to sign them in. My husband was also able to sign a Liability Form so that he could ride the boat with us. He didn’t get to fly, however he was there cheering us on. To fly tandem you must be between 130 and 330 lbs. Thank goodness we made it.
The Captain and the First Mate prepared the boat and we headed out. Wearing exactly what we had on in the parks, we were fitted for a harnesses and life jacket. The First Mate gave us our safety rules and guides so that we were safe for the entire experience. The First Mate secured us into our harness and off we went. It was smooth rising into the air. When we reached 600 foot, the Captain drove us around Bay Lake and we were truly amazed. We giggled and laughed like two school girls. Pointing out everything we saw. When it was time to come down it was just as smooth as the takeoff.
I would totally suggest this to anyone who has 30 minutes to spare during your vacation. By purchasing the photography package, I received a memory card with the entire experience to share with everyone.
