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!
Pros:
As iconic of a ride as they come, no height requirement, awesome queue for kids, practically synonymous with Disney World!Cons:
Closes during inclement weather (ride it early!), not thrilling for adultsReviewed by ChefDionofLima Review Date: 09/29/2021

A must do during your trip. The move and retheiming of the Circus area was an great move, as was the addition of the second set of ride vehicles. Usually long lines, but due to the additional capacity it moves quickly. Plus if you\\\\\\'re vigilantly monitoring Wait times in MDE, you can find pulls.
Pros:
It's Dumbo!!!! Need I say more.Cons:
Don't get in between Molly and here favorite Dumbo, you will regret it. Especially if there is a scavenger hunt in the balance.Reviewed by FishinGoofy Review Date: 09/15/2021

This is a must do ride. It's a classic, its great for kids, and the views are pretty good too. The line can get long at certain points of the day but never crazy long. I like that you can move Dumbo up and down as you please (kiddos will like this to). My spouse and I had a great time on this ride on our honeymoon and I will probably ride this every time I go to WDW.
Pros:
Classic ride, Good for kidsCons:

A MK classic! Not a super long line but is the longest compared to tricaratops spin and magic carpets of Aladdin! Amazing que and super fun for kids! (air conditioning in the que! And a playground for kids!! Must I say more?)
