Dumbo is a ride that small kids just love, so do yourself a favor a get there early, we only had to wait around 5 minutes for it and we all had a great time. after 10am just forget about it.

I have no nostaliga associated with this ride, so I can view it for how terrible it really is.

Classic ride for all ages. Try to go early in the morning. The lines can get over 1 hour but for little kids it is worth it.

I fail to understand why this attraction is so popular, yet I see potential charm in it. It appears all the time on WDW Holiday planner videos and it is clear that the idea of flying with Dumbo appeals to many as a 'unique Disney experience'. I have only ever ridden it twice and I recieve no particular thrill from it, having experienced many rides of it's kind in the past. But in general, it IS a ride aimed at a younger audience after all. Overall, fun for a unique Disney experience, and nothing more - except you are riding with younger children. It is a shame that Casey. Jr. could not find his way into the Magic Kingdom, but beggers cannot be choosers.

Patience is a virtue. This was my two and a half year old's first real ride ever. Watching her expressions made it well worth the wait.

A must do for kids of all ages! Try to get there early, this one has terrible lines!

My family calls it "DUMM-O The Flying Elephant" because you wait forever for a 30 second ride. Good for kids to do once or twice in their lives!

DO NOT GO ON THIS RIDE!!!!! The line is too long and the ride is too short. Not a good combination.

well, you know that if you are travelling with young children you are going to have to wait on the 3 hour (at least) loong line for this ride, so you might as well not complain. i recommend only going on this ride if the lines are short (haha! like never) but it is another classic disney

Not the most exciting ride in the park, that's for sure.

The kids liked it, but the line was too long, for such a short ride.

This ride loads and unoads way too slowly for the amount of turnover they need to keep the lines manageable. Only worth it if your kids insist.

This will get a 4 rating for my daughters. It was amazing to see all the parents standing patiently to satisfy their kids. I don't understand what it is about this ride that makes it so kid friendly. We had to hit it first thing on day 2 of MK because the 5 year old HAD to ride it.

The epitome of Disney rides! Gotta do it! Fun stuff too!

Okay so Dumbo is my favorite character and I love to go uppity up up. But I fantasized about this ride since I was a kid and saw it on TV from Disneyland. Sentimental again

Always a favorite, hop aboard Dumbo and fly around Fantasyland for a bit! Just hang on to that magic feather!
