Updated as of 7/1/25

(Offerings are always subject to change. I do my best to keep this list updated as I notice changes or additions, but as I continue to track more films, it may become harder to keep up. If you spot something new or notice something missing, feel free to send me a message!)

Magic Kingdom

Main Street U.S.A

Look for Dumbo as part of the Disney Fab 50 Character Collection. His golden statue is located near the Hub. If you're wearing a MagicBand+, be sure to interact with the statue for a bit of extra magic.

Fantasyland – Storybook Circus
The most iconic Dumbo reference in the park lives here: Dumbo the Flying Elephant, a classic attraction beloved for generations. (Fun fact: this attraction originally existed in a different part of Fantasyland.)

Nearby is Casey Jr. Splash 'N' Soak Station, inspired by the train from Dumbo.

In 2024, a new interactive scent exhibit called Smellephants on Parade opened in this area. The large pink elephants are a clear nod to the “Pink Elephants on Parade” scene. While the exhibit has grown on me, I’ll admit I’m still not used to the name.

In Big Top Souvenirs, be on the lookout for some familiar circus animals on the walls of the shop.

Hollywood Studios

Walt Disney Presents
Dumbo appears a couple of times here. Look for a movie poster in the animation history section, and in the theme park section, look up—you might just spot his familiar face.

Fantasmic!
During the “Dancing Bubbles” scene, you’ll catch Dumbo floating by, along with a music clip from “Pink Elephants on Parade.”

Disney Springs

Disney’s Pin Traders

This one’s a subtle nod: inside Donald’s suitcase (next to the Donald and Daisy statues), there’s a Dumbo pin tucked in with other pins.
