Dumbo the Flying Elephant

A trip to Fantasyland at Disneyland isn't complete without a ride on the popular Dumbo ride, I recommend hitting it first during opening as the line can be an average of 45-minute wait just to ride this ride.

I took my kid to Disneyland Hollywood last week and we had a blast. One of the rides that we both enjoyed was Dumbo the Flying Elephant. It is a classic ride that has been around since the park opened in 1955. It is based on the animated movie Dumbo, which tells the story of a baby elephant who can fly with his ears. The ride is simple but fun. You sit in a colorful elephant-shaped vehicle that can go up and down as it spins around a central pole. You can control the height of your elephant with a lever. The ride lasts for about a minute and a half, and you can see the whole park from above. The ride also plays the cheerful music from the movie, such as "When I See an Elephant Fly" and "Baby Mine". The ride brought back a lot of nostalgia for me, I loved the movie Dumbo and I always wanted to fly like him. The ride made me feel like I was living in a fantasy world. I also enjoyed seeing my kid's reaction to the ride. He was amazed by the flying elephants and he had a big smile on his face. He kept saying "wee" and "wow" as we soared in the air. He also wanted to ride it again and again. Dumbo the Flying Elephant is a timeless ride that appeals to all ages. It is a ride that makes you feel happy and free. It is a ride that connects you with your childhood and your loved ones. It is a ride that you will never forget.

Great place for young kids to get up in the air and see more of the park from the back side! Highly recommended for shorter and younger kids, plus you can control how high you want the ride to go which helps keep them entertained.

This ride was fun, but not sure if I recommend it with a 9mo old. You have to put the lap seat belt over the baby and then once the ride gets going your flung into the corner and my son had a hard time holding his head up. I had to sit sideways so he could relax.
