A childhood favorite... it's just as colorful and fun to ride or watch as it was years ago. Don't miss this Fantasyland icon. You won't be sorry.

My daughters absolutely love this ride. My sons are both in their teens and still get a kick out of it; nostalgia. Of course, the wife and I love to watch the little ones exceitement in maneuvering the elephants!

A Disneyland Classic, but get there early, the line moves slower than a security check point at John Wayne airport...very ornate ride with "Timothy the Mouse" whipping us into a up and down frenzy..fun for all ages.

It is not a ride, i do every time, but it ia a beautiful attraction to look at. it is especially nice at night. this version is much nicer than the one in Florida.

Dull for adults but fun for the little ones. My eight year old niece was a little too old but she still enjoyed it. She also got to ride on the golden Dumbo.

Haven't ridden this one in ages too! I use to really like it as a kid. I have the pictures!

I find this ride fun because I have so many memory of it from when I was a child. although, you would think that they would let you keep the feathers that they give you in the line

This is one ride that really isn't worth the wait especially at peak hours and the ride is barely over one minute I just dont like to wait for such a quick and bad ride

I've never understood why so many little children like this ride.

For older folks, Dumbo is great atmosphere rather than a ride. Or so I thought until our 15 yo niece got us to go on. This ride is so fun.

Fun a real good way to get away from everything around you

I always wait in line for this ride. It's a lot of fun.

User ID: bblenny   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (1/2/2003)
Since I was a year old I have gone on Dumbo everytime I go to Dl and I am 15. Sorta of a tradition.

I loved it when I was a kid, but haven't been on it in years. It doesn't hold the same excitment for me!

I give this ride a 10. A true classic. You have to ride it at night to get the full effect. =)

This is a "tradition" ride for us. My 20-year-old daughter says it isn't an official visit to Disneyland if she hasn't ridden Dumbo.

I, like every parent on Earth, will never understand the utter fascination children under the age of 10 have with this ride. Fun nonetheless, though!

Dumbo ROCKS! It's so fun and reminds me of my childhood!

Am 20, and have fond memories of riding as a child. My dad wanted to hit this one, and we had fun, even though my younger sisters (13 & 17) weren't that keen on riding them. Love the added "magic feather" they gave us.

I LOVE flying elephants!
One of the many fun parts of this trademark to the park is the different cool colors of that thing on Dumbo's side. I like the purple & turquoise. The ride is fun for just about anyone, still a classic!

Cute ride.

User ID: disneyjam5000   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/14/2000)
Small elephant. Big ears.
Little magic feather.
Still... the only way to fly high in the sky...via packie-derm.

I don't ride this one but it is fun to watch the little ones who get all big eyed and happy to see this ride. Very cute!

Nice kiddy ride...

Never done 'em

User ID: damon63   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (1/16/2000)
No need to ride this one if you're over 12 years old, besides the Astro Orbiter is more fun. The design of this little attraction is a triumph of Disney showmanship.

Little kids love this and want to do it again and again and again.... you get the idea.

Another Disneyland Classic - kind of. This is not the original Dumbo attraction, but rather the first that was actually built for Disneyland Paris. Disneyland got the attraction after the original suffered two bad failures several years ago. Notice how ornate the attraction is - perfect for the detailing and style of Disneyland Paris, but it does stick out just a tad here in Fantasyland in Anaheim. It's still a crowd favorite, though!
