Dumbo The Flying Elephant Gets New Colors and Updated Theming at Tokyo Disneyland

The classic Fantasyland attraction Dumbo The Flying Elephant has reopened at Tokyo Disneyland following a lengthy refurbishment with a new color scheme and some new thematic details.

What's Happening:

• Dumbo The Flying Elephant, a 1983 original attraction at Tokyo Disneyland, has been closed for most of 2026 for a lengthy refurbishment.
• That refurbishment has now come to a close, and the attraction has reopened with some fresh paint and some new magic.
• The attraction has received a new entrance marquee and updated signage that gives off a similar vibe to the Disneyland version of the attraction.

• Also similar to Disneyland, as guests enter the queue, they'll now find a feather mosaic in the pavement.

• The attraction itself has received a new blue color scheme, while Timothy also sports a blue outfit and a magic feather, instead of the whip – which other versions of the attraction got rid of decades ago.

• The color scheme and new look for Timothy extend out to the Dumbo photo op outside the attraction.

• Here's a look at the previous color scheme, which is how the attraction had looked since it opened in 1983.

• Interestingly, the Dumbo here at Tokyo Disneyland is still the original, 10-armed version of the attraction. Disneyland and Walt Disney World received higher capacity versions back in the 90s.
• New art has also been added to the operator's booth, featuring Dumbo and his mother.
