INTRODUCTION
Enjoy a gentle
aerial journey over Fantasyland based on the 1941 Disney animated film,
Dumbo!
 ATTRACTION
Timothy Mouse leads the parade from the central hub. Sixteen replicas
of Dumbo the Flying Elephant are attached and glide up and down as you
twirl around. This is what's known as a "hub and spoke" attraction.
Ride
with Dumbo for a minute and a half over Fantasyland. You control the height
of your elephant as you circle around.
TOURING
TIPS
The attraction
is open for Extra Magic Hour, which
is the time recommended for riding it! This program allows resort guests
entrance to the park one hour earlier than normal operating hours on designated
days.
This attraction
gets long lines as the day goes on. Best bet is to ride early in the day
when the park first opens.
In addition
to being very popular with kids, this is a slow loading and unloading
ride.
A huge favorite
of preschoolers!
Each elephant
is just barely big enough for two adults and one small child, but one
adult and one child fit more comfortably.
Be sure to
keep your eyes on your children in the queue area. There are some interactive
features that are just the right eye level for youngsters and they tend
to wander.
Guests using
an ECV or a wheelchair must transfer out to ride this attraction.
 KIDS
AND CHARACTERS

become very familiar with!
