Is there a height requirement for the Dumbo ride?

There are no height restrictions to experience Dumbo the Flying Elephant!



One of the best things about Dumbo the Flying Elephant at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland is that it has no height requirement. It is classified as an "Any Height" attraction, making it a perfect first ride for infants, toddlers, and small children. Because the ride vehicle (the elephant) is controlled by a joystick, riders have the autonomy to stay low to the ground if they are nervous or fly as high as they like for a better view of Fantasyland. This lack of restriction means the whole family can ride together, though Disney safety rules typically require children under age 7 to be accompanied by a person age 14 or older. Since there is no height limit, the ride does not offer "Rider Switch," but Disney has mitigated the long wait times at Magic Kingdom by including an interactive, air-conditioned "Big Top" play area where kids can run around until their pager buzzes, indicating it is their turn to fly.

Height requirements are a really big deal in our house! I would have to say that the measurement posts are fairly accurate. If your son is a solid 44 with his shoes on, than you should have no problems. Just be sure to direct him to stand tall!

The safety spiel varies by ride, but you get the gist. Now, Disney is changing the minimum height requirement for thrill rides at Disney to 65”, which is also 5'5”. The definition of thrill rides is loose. Because of that, we have a list of all of the rides impacted.
