It's hard to think of a ride that's more of a Disney classic than Dumbo the Flying Elephant. It takes you soaring over the Magic Kingdom.
Sixteen gondolas
of this adorable wide-eyed baby elephant with the oversized
ears carefully circle a small hot air balloon with Dumbo's
friend, Timothy Mouse atop. Definitely not a thrill
ride for the older set, it is still exciting for the younger
children as is evident by the long lines for this popular
attraction. (The lines are basically a result of the slow
loading of this 2 minute ride.) To avoid an excessive wait, head here first thing when the park opens or, when staying at a Disney Resort, take advantage of the morning Extra Magic Hour.
Guests in wheelchairs must
be able to transfer from their chairs in order to ride.
Fun Fact: In Disneyland, this ride was 'renovated' in 1990 by accident. It had been prepared for shipment to Disneyland Paris, when they discovered they did not need it as early as expected. So, it was installed in Disneyland (CA) and a new one was built and shipped to Paris.
