Dumbo the Flying Elephant- Magic Kingdom

It wouldn’t be a trip to Walt Disney World without a ride on Dumbo the Flying Elephant. This iconic ride is found in Storybook Circus at Magic Kingdom. This is an iconic attraction for little ones to ride during their Magic Kingdom days.

Little ones will love flying high with Dumbo as they can help control how high Dumbo flies using the controller. Little ones will have a fantastic time at the play area if there is a wait for flying. Guests can get a pager to virtually hold their spot in line as their kids play in the air-conditioned playground.

This area is full of slides, climbing areas, and even a smaller area for toddlers. Dumbo, the Flying Elephant, is a must-do for little ones at Magic Kingdom.
