Classic Disney - 100% a must for our family every trip. The indoor play area to use while waiting to ride is great for kiddos. The ride itself is great for all ages!
Pros:
Classic, fun for all ages, usually shorter waits, amazing indoor play area.Cons:

a must do, especially if youve never done it before and even more especially if your child has never done it before. the ride is iconic and nostalgic and fun for everyone. although, if you visit the parks often, if may not be something youd wanna go out of your way for.
Pros:
nostalgic, family friendly, fun queueCons:
sometimes has a long waitReviewed by DisneyGirlMelissa Review Date: 02/18/2024

Another classic! I wouldn't wait in a long line, but we got on it during an after hours event. After 3 times in a row (they did say we could keep going) we decided we needed to use our time to get other rides in too! lol!
Pros:
nostalgicCons:
during the day, typically has a long lineReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 07/14/2023

Who doesn’t want to fly in a Dumbo elephant? Not me!!! The WDW version is awesome because if you’re standby, there’s a playhouse for kids that acts as a CIRCUS, and if you’re LL, well… everything goes fast anyway! I really recommend this, everyone has to try it!

Nostalgic and what you think of when you think of magic kingdom rides. Everyone should do it once but not really anything special. Great for the little kids and the wait system is great!
Pros:
Quintessential Disney experience Family friendlyCons:

Parental attachment issues aside, this is a fun ride and a must-do for anyone's first trip to WDW. My daughter loved making Dumbo fly higher and lower throughout.
Pros:
You're flying Dumbo!Cons:

How can you not love Dumbo? He's the cutest. I recommend riding this at night, it really adds to the magic.
Pros:
Classic cutenessCons:
Goes in a circle, which can cause motion sickness but I find that if you look at a few points rather than just watching the world go by, this helps. It's like spotting for ballerinas!Reviewed by JustinDoesDisney Review Date: 10/04/2021

Not a must-do ride for most adults, but Dumbo is almost a rite of passage for anyone going to the Magic Kingdom for the first time. Iconic, classic, and quintessential Disney are commonly overused terms (yes, even by me!), but it truly is an icon of the Park. Being an opening-day attraction with no height requirement, it's hard to pass up a ride on the Flying Elephant with your kids!
With two separate rides now, lines don't tend to get as long as they used to. There is also a VERY cool play area for kids in the queue so they can be entertained while waiting to ride!
