Or in the playschool "interactive" ball pit queue, then it would actually get people to go in that 'thing'

When they first announced the Storybook Circus area, that show was the first thing that came to mind. I seriously thought I was the only one who remembered that show!
My son has had a Dumbo "blankey" since he was born....he sleeps with it every night and would literally freak out if he could meat Dumbo at the parks! He also has about 50 elephant stuffed animals....so it's all about the elephant at our house.
I'll bet your son would freak out if there was Dumbo "meat" in the parks

The costume used in today's ceremony was used nightly in Disney's Electrical Parade at DCA for several years. Do they not use it on Dumbo's float at the MK - they got the parade from DCA.

I could not agree with you more on this!! Adventures in Wonderland was my favorite and I used to love seeing the outside of the house on Residential St on the Back Lot Tour... but I'm straying off topic here....
I would love for them to do a Dumbo M&G though I think we all know that will never happen!

When DCA updated the parade with the TinkerBell float, Snow White float, and Pleasure Island units they took out the Dumbo unit. So when they sent it to WDW it didn't include the Dumbo unit.

Thanks for the info - I skipped seeing the parade in 2009 at DCA, so I didn't know about the Dumbo unit cut.
It's a cute costume, but it's never quite gelled for me. Something about it seems off.

That was a great show to me when I was growing up. There's no reason they couldn't have a photo op Dumbo, and just say he doesn't do autographs.

That would've scared the heck out of me as a kid

I do recall the Dumbo section of the parade and it had clowns too. There's hoping that if there is a new parade coming that some sort of Dumbo float would be added since he does have his own area of the park now.

Yeah not sure if it's the angle but the costume is kinda derpy.

I can remember seeing Dumbo walking around Fantasyland back in the early 80's. The performers arms were in his huge ears so Dumbo would hug you with his ears while his forelegs (arms) hung limp.

I was quite impressed with the new Dumbo at the opening ceremony for NFL today. Not only does he have the blinking eyes but his ears and trunk moved. Very cute! I cant' imagine they'd put all that work/money into something for a one-time thing.
Oh wait... they just did that with the dragon. Nevermind. He's probably not going to ever be used again! LOL!
(man I've gotten disgruntled lately haven't I? LOL!)

Dumbo is my favorite character so I'm hoping that we see him a LOT more!

Yzma was developed and made one documented appearance, at the movie premiere. Never underestimate...

And didn't Col. Hathi make a one time appearance as part of Jungle Book promotion at AK? I seem to recall pics floating around on one of the character sites.
