    I love the lights in the queue!
    Rachelle P.

    Our eldest had a blast raising her baby sister and I higher than daddy that was in the Dumbo in front of us lol! I love the beautiful circus lights in the queue and relaxing water fountain on the ride! This classic ride is based on the beloved film, Dumbo! I would highly recommend this sweet ride located in Fantasyland in Disneyland Park! It's for all ages and for many it was their first Disney ride! We'll be back to ride again! :-)

    A Fantasyland classic. Dumbo the Flying Elephant, has riders boar their very own Dumbo. Riders then take flight. Elephants fly in circles around a central point. This is a children's version of the Astro Orbiter, or rather, the Astro Orbiter is a children's version of Dumbo. Unlike the other rides in Fantasyland, this ride gives riders the ability to control a bit of the adventure. While riders can't control how fast the elephants spin, they can control if, and how often, the elephants move up and down. Having trouble getting a picture of your child on the ride? Fear not, there is a stationary Dumbo located between the K.C. Jr. Train and the Dumbo ride. Guests may take a picture there.

    Dumbo is one of the kiddos favorite rides at Disneyland. Always packed. Line moves at a decent pace. If you have Genie, the line is super quick. Can't beat sitting inside Dumbo and flying. Fast ride, you control the up and down. Around a minute long. A must ride every visit.

    The first ride we went on in our 2019 trip. The line wasn't too long. Employees are friendly and keep things moving smoothly. The ride is well maintained, as with most of the rides at Disney. The little ones (and adults) had so much fun. The best part was looking at the smiles on everyone's face. Fun!

    You get in, buckle your seatbelt and prepare to fly!

    Woohoo, I finally got to ride Dumbo the Flying Elephant ride! Yay, another childhood ride/dream fulfilled, heheh! Located in Fantasyland across from King Arthur Carrousel. The wait time wasn't too long (about 30 mins or less) and it's an easy and lighthearted, fun ride. Before hopping on, you're given an assigned numbered Dumbo to ride on. You get in, buckle your seatbelt and soon, you'll take off! There's a lever in front of you that can adjust and control the height of Dumbo flying up and down. You'll fly around for a couple of minutes. Dumbo can seat a maximum of three people, but my friend and I each rode our own Dumbo, hehe! A cute and wonderful ride worth riding!

    Simple ride that you get into a dumbo elephant cart and it goes in circles with a switch inside your cart that you can move to go up and down. You get dizzy...

    Dumbo is one of the iconic Disney rides. At Disneyland, the ride currently sits in Fantasyland just past the carousel. I'm not sure when it was moved to this location, but this is a great place for it. The ride has had a few renovations to fix it up, with the last one occurring earlier this year. The cue area where you wait for your turn to tide has been changed to help accommodate the kiddos waiting for their turn to ride the flying elephant. The colors of the elephants are vibrant and beautiful. Each Dumbo has a feather in its trunk to help give him confidence to fly through the air. Wait your turn and then get your ticket to ride. Board your cute little elephant and get ready for your journey. Each Dumbo has a lever inside so the riders can select a low flying ride or a high flying ride. Of course I want to be way up high so I can see all over Fantasyland. I can see the different rides and all the happy people walking around. Close my eyes and I can feel the air flying through my hair. I can feel myself flying with the help of this magical elephant. This is such a fun and kid friendly ride. It's a great feeling to soar through the air. I highly recommend this ride to individuals of all ages. There is often a wait, but many good things come to those who wait. I've had the pleasure of riding Dumbo in Hong Kong Disneyland and Shanghai Disney. I can't wait to ride Dumbo at the other parks so I can check that off my bucket list!!

    While in Disneyland with a toddler, Dumbo the Flying Elephant is just one of those rides that you need to do for the kiddo ya know? The line moves quickly, the kiddo picks the elephant he wants, you happily fly up and down in circular motion for a few minutes, & you get off with an elated child! The wait wasn't very long and the waiting area is covered so it wasn't that bad at all. You can fit 2 adults and 1 child in an elephant, but my husband rode with the kiddo while my sister in-law and I rode in the elephant in front of them so that I could take some photos of the first ride we took that morning. Once the ride starts, you use a joy stick to control going up and down as you spin around for about a 1 1/2 minutes. Simple. I just have to laugh and write this review because once we got going I'm pretty sure the worker running the ride was ready to kick me off 'cause I was waaaay to busy taking super cute photos of my kid enjoying the ride, while they were in the background scolding me to face forward. Apparently you can't turn around while the ride is in motion. Sorry! I was not paying attention, bless your hearts for being so patient. Lol. I was too distracted by my happy kiddo 'cause he was having a great time. Every single time we asked him if he had fun at Disneyland or even mentioned Disneyland he would say "fun the elephant airplane." This went on for months and months! He just turned 2 at the time and almost a year later, he still says the same thing when he sees the photos. What an iconic ride, keeping kids happy since it's inception.

    Wall art as your waiting for the ride

    This ride is pretty iconic with adults and children alike. Everyone knows the story of the beloved Dumbo. If your afraid of heights you don't have to use the lever to raise and lower your individual ride. The line is one to be expected, unless your there at the perfect time. Our wait time surprisingly was less than 15 minutes.

    Mine!

This is a project in which elementary, middle, and high school choirs and bands performed at Valencia High School in the city of Placentia, CA, in the morning, and were then invited to visit Knott's Berry Farm for fun and the award ceremony in the late afternoon. We were thrilled that both our Bishop Amat Choir and Bands took home four first-place trophies across four categories. Back to Knott's Berry Farm, this amusement park is so much fun. It is a large property, and there is so much to see, do, and enjoy a great, memorable time. On this day, when we visited the park, it was a bit crowded (but fun nonetheless) as numerous school-aged choirs and bands were there, and it was also opening day for Knotts' Soak City water park. Knotts had a promotion for ticket holders who visited both parks on the same day. The crowds were no problem whatsoever as we ALL managed to get on numerous rides, listen to music, eat ice cream, and have bartered fish tacos for dinner. The park is well-maintained, employees were all extremely friendly and helpful, and security can be seen throughout the park to ensure everyone's safety. My family and I chose to purchase standard annual passes, which were very affordable at $120.09 per pass. Interest-free monthly payments are a great option if you prefer not to pay for your season pass in one shot. Now that my family and I have annual passes with parking included, we will definitely visit often, if only to have lunch or dinner at the park.

Use a credit card to book your room, so you can use their quick check in line. Either way, make sure you take the exact card you use to book for checking in. Before you go, buy the discounted dining deal. You can only buy it in advance, and the food and drinks are pretty pricey, so you will spend $$$. I also suggest attaching your credit card to your wristband for convenience. We really enjoyed the pizza place onsite. We checked in on a Sunday and it was a bit crowded, but we managed to do it all in three hours. The kids loved the bunk bed, and my only complaint about our room is that the tub faucet leaked. The next day, we packed a bag with a change of clothes that we fit into a small locker for $12, and went back into the waterpark for a couple more hours. I recommend packing travel toiletries for a quick shower before leaving. They have plenty of showers, changing rooms, and a swimsuit dryer, but no toiletries in the waterpark bathrooms. Waterpark towels are provided and must be checked out and in or you'll be charged, so don't lose them. There's a water bottle refill station in the waterpark near the bathrooms. We didn't try many of the activities offered except for the arcade that offered packages starting at $35. Lastly, be sure to pay for parking before you leave. That was also $35. All in all, we got a deal on the room but spent more on food, drinks, games, and parking combined. My kids are 5 and 10, and they were able to go on just about everything that was open. One day was plenty of time if you don't plan on doing all of the activities.

The issue is not necessarily that every employee was rude -- the real problem is the completely broken system and lack of communication between departments. We booked THREE rooms for 18 guests for a birthday celebration and simply wanted to reserve and pay for a place where everyone could eat lunch together and celebrate with cake. Something that should have been straightforward became an exhausting process filled with confusion, conflicting information, and endless transfers between departments. The front desk had no idea about the policies of the events department. The front desk also had no clear understanding of pool policies. Every single question required someone to "leave a note" for another department and wait for an email response that never came. No callbacks. No follow-up. No accountability. The most frustrating part was trying to contact the front desk directly. First, you are forced through an AI system. Then you finally reach someone in the "reservation department," who is not even onsite. Despite politely asking multiple times to be transferred directly to the front desk, they refused and insisted they could help. They could not. Instead, they placed me on hold supposedly to ask the front desk themselves -- and after 11 minutes on hold, they never came back. At that point, yes, the reservation department representatives themselves became part of the problem: rude, dismissive, unprofessional, poorly trained, and completely incapable of resolving even simple questions. This company has far too many unnecessary departments that clearly do not communicate or work together. Planning an important family event here became stressful instead of enjoyable. I will never host another birthday event at Great Wolf Lodge again, and I would strongly caution families against wasting their time and money here for important celebrations.

Outside, the bumper boats are a refreshing way to cool down. You can see that the staff works hard at maintaining the grounds.
