The Disneyland Resort is home to some truly incredible experiences, ranging from thrilling adventures to slow-moving dark rides that are fun for the whole family.

When people think about the Disney Parks, they often picture rides like “it’s a small world,” Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, and of course, Dumbo the Flying Elephant. This beloved ride is not complex or immersive, but it’s proven to be extremely popular among families.
This carnival-style ride features Dumbo and allows Guests to adjust their height during the adventure.
Unfortunately, as is common with all theme parks, this ride will be closing soon.
According to the official Disneyland website, Dumbo the Flying Elephant will be closing on July 3, 2023. This iconic attraction will be closed for refurbishment for an indefinite amount of time, meaning it could be offline for as little as a few days or as long as a few months.
