Today, Dumbo and the circus came back to town at the Disneyland Resort! Was the wait worth it? I definitely think so.

Each elephant now has a number on the side. Guests are assigned elephants by number now, which should help with any issues of over/under-loading the ride or the usual rush of guests running to try to get their favorite color. That being said, guests weren’t really listening to cast members today and still tried to sit where they wanted.

It was the perfect day for Dumbo to make a grand re-entrance. Be sure to pay him a visit on your next trip to Disneyland!
