Dumbo the Flying Elephant


By Webmaster - Posted on 09 January 2009

Location: Fantasyland

Ride Type: Flying elephants

Passengers: 2-3 per elephant

Fastpass? No

Minimum Height: None

 

Summary: “I’ve seen everything when I’ve seen an elephant fly!” Come and join the adventure as Dumbo flys around the park – at least in a circle! Guests board the famous flying elephant and get a great view of the park during the flight. You can control the height of the elephant (up, down, up, up, up) during the short ride. This is one of the icons of the park – and it’s popularity is legend.

 

Comments: Wait times for this ride get very long, because it’s a slow loading ride. We recommend trying to get on this ride first thing in the morning before it gets too busy, or using a Guest Assistance card for an alternate waiting area. If your child is reluctant to try the ride, you might have them climb in the non-flying elephant near the ride to introduce them to it.

 

One word of caution – even if you keep the elephant flying low to the ground, as the ride comes to a close all of the elephants soar to the top of the ride to “reset” before descending again. You have no control over this. If your child is afraid of heights, please prepare them for this by letting them watch the ride a few times so they can anticipate that lift.

Tip of the Day

There is so much at Walt Disney World that people may get too caught up in the "magic". Remember to schedule breaks for all involved to rest and to get ready for more adventures. This will help relieve stress and goes a long way towards avoiding meltdowns.
