"Fun, but way to short." 14 years ago by zacopeland18

It's fun, but the ride is way too short and the lines are always crazy long. Guess that's why they're changing up here pretty soon and adding extra Dumbo's.

"No matter what age this ride makes us all kids again" 14 years ago by Par4jh

Dont be discouraged by all the little kids in fantasy land this area is just as much fun for adults as it is children. Althought the line can be quite lenghty for such a short ride i insure you it i worth the wait. Once you board your flying elephant go all the way up to the highest elevation to see the one of the best views in all of disney world. This ride is where it all begain.

"Super long lines!!!!" 14 years ago by elw316

Expect a long wait but you can get good pictures if you wait it out. It is very cool to ride this late at night when the fireworks are going, that is the best way to get great pics.

"If you have kids, you must go on this!!" 15 years ago by 2Simple

The ride itself is not exciting for adults, but if you have children, you have to take them on this ride at least once! The best part is when you're standing in line trying to guess what color your elephant is going to be. I'm almost always purple, for some reason.
Timothy the mouse used to stand on a disco ball with a whip in his hand, but now he holds a feather, I think. I think they've also added more elephants, but I'm not 100% sure. The wait is long and it gets hot in Florida, so go on this one in the morning or early evening.
