A cute Dumbo themed ride where you fly. You control if your Dumbo goes up or down

Pros:

Cute ride to sit and relax. Great for kids and to take pictures

Cons:

Not to fun, basically the same as Astro Orbiters and Magic Carpets

Some long line and your teenagers might be too embarrassed to ride it

Iconic attraction with a cool play area for kids while they wait. If you are not traveling with small kids, I wouldn't recommend unless there is no line

Pros:

really pretty at night. classic Disney attraction. Definitely an attraction designed for small kids to ride with their parents

Cons:

not great for adults.

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:

Can cause some motion sickness depending on who is doing the flying.

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 adults

The ride that is in all WDW commercials and it made me feel like I "made it" to WDW when I rode it on my first trip! Its my pick for your first ride on your first trip.

Pros:

Classic, Nostalgic

Cons:

sometimes the levers don't work
