Undercover Tourist

Great new queue area! Inside, a/c, seating for parents, separate play area for kids under 3, and 4-8. Awesome!

Liz A.

They've moved this to where Mickey's ToonTown Fair used to be. There are also two of them (one's for Fastpass +). Also, in the standby line , there's a play area to keep the kids busy!

Jack Wishart

Sit back and relax and let the kids tire themselves out in this cute interactive play area once your pager goes off just like at a restaurant then it's your time to ride dumbo. It's pretty cool

Erin Merrill

Make sure you fast pass this one. Otherwise they wind you around into a hidden lines area that has a kids play area that you end up getting a pager for, then to get called and get back in line . Oy.

Jake Smith

The indoor queue area is an EXCELLENT place for parent to relax and kids to burn some energy. Air conditioned and dark.

Stephen G.

This is the ticket to the Amazing Dumbo. Let your kids play while you wait the the buzzer to go off. Then it’s your turn to ride.

MarjorieSPhD

Great idea to make waiting in line to ride Dumbo tolerable. Kids play and when your pager goes off it is your turn to ride. My son didn't want to leave--and they didn't make us go.

Kevin Vincent

The original attraction opened in 1971, a second carousel opened 2012 when New Fantasyland was opened. They rotate in opposite directions.

Elizabeth

You can play while you wait. I think my kids liked the playing more then the ride.

Peter Head

Don't miss a chance to play with the "fireworks " on the left side. Pull the fuse and they "explode" in the air above you.

Ed

My seven yr olds and even 9 yr old had fun here. They didn't actually want to go on the ride itself. A bit of climbing and fun.

jiresell

A Disney classic, and now they have two to keep the line moving!

Louisa R

Great play area to let the little kids get the crazy out before they have to get back in line again! Plenty of seating area and nice for a break!

The Transit Navigator

A very well-known ride, soar with Dumbo throughout the air! Coming soon, the attraction will switch to run counter-clockwise as opposed to clockwise. Interesting!

Justin Lisenby

Fun ride for kids and adults alike!

Erica Ashby

The play area is part of the line ! You don't lose your spot in line by playing in it! Just relax and watch the kids have fun!

Tim Cigelske

The indoor play waiting area is on point when it's hot out and your kids are cranky.

Travis Fenimore

Dislike the new interactive "circus ". Great for families with very small kids, but with bigger kids or adults who are kids at heart, would be nice to be able to bypass.

Peter Head

Skip the Fastpass and go in to the playground , it's awesome!. You get a pager when you are ready to ride. Fastpass skips the inside.

Jesse Sunday

Love the playground / waiting area... The kids could play in there for hours! (Don't forget the purell!) ;)

Sadie Y

Excellent place for parents to take a break, while the kids play.

Mar

Play while you wait! Kids till 12years old can have lots of fun! The ride doesn't roll when it's raining!

Greg Pagans

now, with TWO rides AND a play/waiting area for tiny tots ...always a classic ride !

Kevin Paulsen

Not quite up to Walts idea of stuff for a family to do. The kids play, the parents sit. Love the air conditioning , but trivia or something would help pass the time.

John Frost

A great place for adults to grab a break while kids blow off some steam

Beatriz Bremer

Great for kids, who can play while they wait, and parents can seat

Jennifer Brown

Great way to keep the kids distracted and grown ups can sit!

Josh Newman

Use the joystick in dumbo to control your height. Make it a high flying adventure or a down and dirty ride! Have it your way at MK

Dawn Veselka

No separate entrance yet for those with a Guest Assistant pass. Be sure to ride it at night- great lights and water effects..

Apu Wallbrecher

Beautiful ride to enjoy with your little (or not so little) ones. A classic.

Biz Traveldude

Classic ride is now twice as big, line is a lot shorter and shaded

Patricio Arrangoiz

Too much line , not worth the wait, although they have entertainment for children while waiting, for adults it's not fun nor the best way to invest your precious time at the park

Clarissa McDaniel

Classic Disney ride. Fun for the whole family. Not a thrill ride .

Kristine Rosko

Definitely a classic! Rarely a wait at night!

Danielle

Make sure you hold the lever for at least 5 seconds - they're slow to register the movement!

Joshua Baer

They have an air conditioned playground inside while you are waiting. Priceless!

Jesse Houwing

There is a air conditioned indoor play area available in the waiting line .

Candace Mack

Much better than before! Air conditioned play area and they page you to ride!

Jason Russell

Enjoy the new circus playground in the queue. It is something that should be at all the attractions .

Jarrod Kersey

You're not gonna like it. Long wait . Kids everywhere. On the bright side, if you're a kid, you'll love it.

Drew McLellan

Grab a beeper when it's crazy busy and shop while you wait!

Michael "Mayor" Maher

Great for kids and parents can ride along. To take photos stand back 10 yards or so. +m2

Tamala Cat

You can ride it but it's for kids.

Steven L

Great for kids to play in the big top while you wait.

Kelly McCormick

The ground here has elephant tracks and peanuts embedded in it!

Vivie Sumadi

Great "play while you wait" experience!

Jennifer Goodwin

Everything is great here

Margaret F

Cute idea having a holding area where the kids can play rather than just waiting in line . Disappointing n that if you are adults without kids there is nothin for you to do :(

Minh Nghi

Go at night. The line is very short then.

Claire-Louise Tuthill

Great little ride. Simple fun!
