Magic Kingdom - Dumbo the Flying Elephant
Dumbo the Flying Elephant
Opened: 1971
Ride Length: 1 min 30 sec
Overview/History:
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.
Fastpass: No
Handicapped Accessibility: Guests in wheelchairs should enter using the ramp to the right. Guests may remain in their chairs to experience this attraction.
Tip: 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. |
