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.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 Journeytomickey Review Date: 06/30/2021
