With the expansion of Fantasyland at Disney’s Magic Kingdom, Disney introduced the first interactive queue at Dumbo the Flying Elephant. For anyone traveling with small children: It’s an amazing way to pass time while waiting for your turn to ride Dumbo.
How the Dumbo Line Works
1) Enter the line at Dumbo the Flying Elephant and wait until you reach the interactive play area.
2) A Cast Member will give you a pager, the same as what you receive while waiting at a restaurant for your table to be ready.
3) Play, play, play!
4) When the pager goes off, return your pager to the Cast Member and wait in the remainder of the line to experience the attraction.
What is Great About the Dumbo Line
1) It’s air conditioned!
2) Play areas are divided into sections by age.
3) Seating for parents (although the wooden bleachers were not the most comfortable!) The toddler area has plush seating that puts you closer to your young children.
4) Definitely made the wait go quickly, and gave me a chance to relax for a few minutes.
5) Lots of fun surprises (when kids go down the slide or across the net, there are sound and lighting effects.)
6) Great circus tent theme.
What is Not So Good About the Dumbo Line
Acoustically, it was loud inside. Not just loud, but very loud. Nevertheless, I hope Disney continues to add more interactive queues as they continue to expand and re-imagine themselves.
