WHEN TO GO First two or last two hours of operation, or with FastPass+. EXPECT TO WAIT
25-40 minutes in the afternoon. LENGTH Less than 1 minute. WHERE TO SIT The front seat
has the best view, but no seats are bad.
Dumbo the Flying Elephant
RANKING Minor attraction. EMH Morning, Evening. FP+ Yes. Low priority. TYPE Spinning
ride. REQUIREMENTS None.
WHAT TO EXPECT Charming Dumbos with two riders side by side rise from their delightfully
decorated base and slowly spin. Riders control how high or low their Dumbo flies. A fa-
vorite of little kids, but skippable for adults. Those not using FastPass+ have the option to
wait in an air-conditioned play area instead of the typical queue. SCARY FACTOR Low. The
mild heights may trouble the most severely acrophobic. CAN WE HANDLE IT? Spinning is too
slow to affect motion sickness. Little kids can't ride alone.
WHEN TO GO First two or last two hours of operation, or with FastPass+. EXPECT TO WAIT
30-50 minutes in the afternoon. LENGTH Less than 2 minutes. WHERE TO SIT All seats are
good.
Enchanted Tales with Belle
RANKING Major attraction. EMH Morning, Evening. FP+ Yes. High priority. TYPE Com-
bined walk-through tour, Audio-Animatronic show, interactive show, and character photo
op. REQUIREMENTS None.
WHAT TO EXPECT This experience starts as a tour of Maurice's cottage, magically shifts to
the Beast's Mansion where audience volunteers are recruited by Madame Wardrobe for
a show, moves to the Beast's Library where under Lumiere's direction the volunteers act
the show out for Belle, and ends with the show volunteers getting a chance to meet and
have pictures with Belle. Only show volunteers get photos by default, so if your kids aren't
picked for a part, have them volunteer at the last “anybody else?” casting call. Drop dead
cute, it's Disney at its best. SCARY FACTOR None.
WHEN TO GO During the afternoon parade, in the final hour of operation, or with FastPass+.
EXPECT TO WAIT 20-40 minutes in the afternoon. LENGTH 25 minutes.

RANKING Minor attraction. EMH Morning, Evening. FP+ Yes. Low priority. TYPE Boat ride.
REQUIREMENTS None.
WHAT TO EXPECT Boats seating 20 or so float past miniatures of singing children from
around the world, colorfully attired and accompanied by toys and representations of their
cultures. A world-famous tour-de-force of design, song writing, and artistic unity. SCARY
FACTOR None.
WHEN TO GO Before 11am, in the final two hours of operation, or with FastPass+. EXPECT TO
