I think someone posted somewhere that they were $12. But I never tried to buy one myself so that could be wrong.

I personally can't imagine paying more than $3-4 myself for a balloon...

**edit**

Wolfy beat me to it! :lol:

A ridiculous price of like $10 or something

$12.00

Yikes! I always figured they were expensive, but never wanted to ask.

Wow, that must be some high quality helium! I will have to stick to the cheap balloons!

Re: Cost of a balloon nowadays?

I think the regular balloons that don't light up like those are $7.00.

Re: Cost of a balloon nowadays?

Oh ok, that makes sense that they cost that much since they light up, I thought the colors were maybe from another source of lighting.

We have to buy my daughter a balloon every time we go. She loves balloons. Yes we pay the hefty price but...we bring it back to AZ and it usually lasts about 10-14 days. Much longer than a regular helium balloon from the grocery store. For us and my daughter, it's worth it.

Re: Cost of a balloon nowadays?

I think the lighted ones cost $14, I think that's what I paid.

Wow. 12 bucks for a $.10 rubber balloon and a $0.35 blinking led.

Maybe it should be added to this thread.

Re: Cost of a balloon nowadays?

do they not sell metallic balloons anymore at the park, I didnt see any on my most recent visit.

[DisneyFan28]

Re: Cost of a balloon nowadays?

werent the metallic/foil looking ones banned or something?
i though i heard something on foil/metal balloons last year

Re: Cost of a balloon nowadays?

Do what I do. Blow my own up and take it to a park. Put a glowstick in it if you want it to light up.

A company has to make profit somewhere. Apparently some people think that their "forced" to pay it. It's almost like blaming a credit card company for all your debt.

I find balloons annoying, they are just a container for air!

Re: Cost of a balloon nowadays?

I know they are expensive, but for some reason, I really want one. :lol:

Re: Cost of a balloon nowadays?

Hey, as long as they're not like those ones I had as a kid. Just a plain Mickey-shaped balloon, and it popped as soon as it hit the hotel room ceiling.

Personally, I wouldn't spend that kind of money on something that will only last a short while. If I wanted something pretty that glows, I'll buy a light-up toy or one of those martinis with the light-up ice cube.
