About this ride

The quintessential toddler-friendly ride — Dumbo cars that soar in a circle, with guests controlling their height by pressing a lever. A Disneyland staple since 1955 and an iconic visual centerpiece of Fantasyland. Short duration and family appeal means waits can be surprisingly long. Best tackled first thing in the morning with young children.

Best time to ride

Rope drop — lines build fast and capacity is extremely limited.

Insider tips

  • Go first thing at rope drop — waits can reach 45 minutes by mid-morning
  • Press the lever to control how high Dumbo flies
  • Great photo op from the air overlooking Fantasyland
  • The wait rarely justifies the ride for adults without young children
