Dumbo the Flying Elephant Frommer's Recommended


Frommer's Review

Review of Dumbo the Flying Elephant

Frommer's Rating: B+ for younger kids and parents

Recommended Ages: 2-6

This is a favorite of the preschool set, a fact that will quickly become apparent when you see the line wrapping around, and around, and around. Much like Magic Carpets of Aladdin, the Dumbo vehicles fly around in a circle, gently rising and dipping as you control them from inside the elephant. If you can stand the brutal lines -- extending well beyond the barely covered queue (there are gigantic fans, though I have yet to see them actually running) and out into the blazing sun -- this ride is almost sure to make your little one's day. Note: Be aware that Dumbo is slated for a major overhaul (doubling its size) during the Fantasyland expansion. Be sure to check the Times Guide upon entering at the park (or check online before you arrive) to see if it will be operational during your visit.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
