I went parasailing at WDW and thought it was amazing. Went into it thinking I could chicken out at any time, which made it easy not to. It was so fun! Exciting and peaceful. What a view!!
While I was up there I saw some buildings I couldn't place. I was up in the air near the Contemporary facing the direction of the MK...but off to the right were some buildings - I think they were pastel pink but could be wrong - that looked like apartments or Navy housing or something. No idea what those were.
It was a wee bit scary...especially when I was getting jerked around hard and then the boat stopped and the two people went to the back of it and were doing something while folks in the boat were watching. I was convinced something was horribly wrong and I was going to crash to my death. But then the driver went back to the front of the boat and the boat started moving again.
When I was done, the adrenaline was pumping! I wanted to run or hit something or whatever. It felt GREAT! I was a little proud of myself, too - for not chickening out.
All in all, best experience I've had at WDW.
ETA: If anyone decides to do this (and I really think you should!), bring some tip money. There is a tip jar on the boat. I didn't know that parasailing people got tipped and didn't have tip money.
