does anyone else think that this ride should have a fast pass? we've been 3 times and have yet to go on it because the queues were so very very long :ears:
Admin edit: changed topic title.
yeah that would be good - there is enough space around it to put a fastapss entrance and the machines!!
It could do with a fast pass, but I think it will run out very quickly during peak times- like Peter Pan and BTM. If you dont get tickets for them first thing, you can forget it. When rides are this popular and you have little ones who want to ride them, its hard to choose which one to go for first, before the queues build.
i dont understand why this ride is so populare, i have been on it and its nice themeing and everything, but nothing special.

The same with peter pan
if i remember correctly we went a summer where it was almost 40oc and were in the peter pan que for about 2 - 3 hours because it kept breaking down

i no what you mean, but i would rather go on peter pan then dumbo.
I love Dumbo. Purely because the excitement on my liitle girl's face as she "makes" him fly, is worth the 1 hour wait. Definately fast-pass in my opinion! :D
i went on the dumbos for the first time on my last visit and enjoyed it way more than i thort i would! We went first thing in the morning so there was quite a short que.... it was fun .... but its pretty short so wouldnt que up much longer for it!
:stitch_bounce: this is the problem anything more than 40 mins and i would lose patience let alone the children in our group. 2 hours waiting is 2 hours not buying stitch merchandise, so i think we should start a petition. :stitch:
Thats the thing. It is a ride for the young ones to go on and we always try and do it early in the day cos my little one wont wait too long in a queue line. Half an hour is about his limit.
Sign me up treble! :D
:o I don't think it needs to be a FastPass ride, considering Good Morning Fantasy Land is available. :) We do that everytime we go, and Dumbo is always the 2nd ride we visit after finishing breakfast. :D There's hardly any que at all then.
Ah but for those people without access to GMF- the queue is horrendous. when we've been before and not stayed in a Disney hotel, we have to do Dumbo early or rule it out for the rest of the day. The kids are sooo patient queueing for it.

what is good morning fantasyland?
She means Good Morning Fantasyland Breakfast!
When you booked this you have very early entry in the Disneyland Parc and the Fantasyland Area, where you have the breakfast. After that you can ride with Peter Pan, Dumbo etc ....

I remember that they once tried out a FP which was only for familys with children. But the system didn't worked so well. But I would really like to have this ride as a FP attraction. It's very popular, not only by children. I often see a lot of young people and grown up couples doing this ride. It's a simple carousel, but it's fun and very charming.
thanks minniemouse

i have thought about this but my daughter is not a morning person-mid day and you're pushing your luck. :offtopic: as you sort of brought it up, is the character breakfast the same type of food as the disney hotels :?:
Yep, pretty much. I've eaten Mickey's Cafe, Walts and New York for character breakfast and its pretty much the same food. I'm guessing GMF will have the same.
Its funny how much little ones want to ride those little elephants isnt it? How easy would it to be to put in a fast pass? I'm thinking if it was easy, is there another reason why Disney havent done it?
Did the character breakfast at the Garden Plaza last year, and as well as having the continental breakfast on, they had the hot stuff too - sausages, bacon, egg, omelettes, beans etc.
Only thing was it was our first breakfast in Disneyland, and it all seemed a mad rush to get everything with people pushing and jostling each other all the time.
We realised afterward that you could have been a lot more relaxed as there was constantly fresh food being brought out, and you weren't cleared out of the breakfast until late, with characters still around for quite a long time.
Never really bothered much with Dumbo, I went on it with my niece last year, but never bothered last March. It's a ride for the kids really, so let them enjoy it.
it's proberbly become the forbidden fruit for us. i am not prepared to wait 2 hours to go on a ride (unless david boreanaz was queuing with me :wink: )so i guess the only answer is to camp out in the castle over night. i hope the dragon doesn't snore :!:
my daughter loves the flying carpets because she gets to control it and as Dumbo is simular i would imagin that's why kids love it :minnie:
I love Dumbo, It's actually quite an impressive view from the little grey dude! it's under rated! and yes it *so* should have a fast pass. lol
