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.
Dumbo the Flying Elephant

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.

Dumbo the Flying Elephant Reviews from DIS members:
  • alamode - "This and the tea cups are THE classic rides. My 5 year old girls wanted to go on this ride ever since they saw it in the TV commercial. Go early in the day, because the lines can get long."

  • disney_fan1972 - "The little ones love this and it is a true Disney classic. This also makes a terrific photo op! I wouldn't do it every trip though."
