Dumbo

He rather eat peanuts than sign

A Character From the Movie: Dumbo

Common or Rare: Does Not Meet Anymore     (Click to see common/rare scale)

Note: Fully admit our family is taking a break from Disney and are no longer updating this site at this time (2009). Information is probably out-of-date.

Best Spot for meeting this character (if there is one!): By the Dumbo Ride but he hasn't been there in years

Your Chances of Finding This Character: Zilch! Unless something changes, Dumbo does not greet anymore

General Info: Ah Dumbo - you must know who Dumbo is! He is the little elephant with big ears, from the classic Disney movie from 1941, Dumbo. His true name is Jumbo Junior, but sadly got the nickname Dumbo from his unusual ears. The movie is very sad, but at least it has a happy ending! At Disney World, Dumbo was ever-so-briefly a meetable character. In January 2005, the Dumbo ride in Fantasyland was closed for rehab, so Dumbo himself made some appearances instead, so kids wouldn't be too disappointed they couldn't ride! Dumbo greeted there maybe about a month, then slipped back into character obscurity. We haven't heard of him being seen ever since! It appears he was only meeting for that short time, and we haven't heard any plans to bring him back out. Oh well - if you are a Dumbo fan, you are out of luck on meeting the one and only character from Dumbo!


Where we heard Dumbo was:

January 2005 - Dumbo Ride in Fantasyland (Magic Kingdom)

Character Hunting Tips: - Finding a beloved character can be a child (or adult's!) highlight of a trip to Disney World! On this page, we listed a character we met, also the places we seen this character on our week-long trips (Jan 2003, May 2003, Oct 2003, Jan 2004, April 2004, Oct/Nov 2004, April 2005, Oct 2005, December 2005, January 2006, May 2006, November 2006, February 2007, September 2007, January 2008, October 2008). Some characters were found by some fellow character hunters who were nice enough to help us out! Unfortunately, we aren't local to Florida (wish we were!!!), so we certainly don't know everything about every character! But we tried to list good places to look and recent reliable sightings of that character!

Must say, sometimes finding a favorite character can be difficult! One day you may see a bunch of characters in one spot, and the next day - not one! Some characters may be everywhere on one trip, and nowhere the next! And some characters come out only for 10 minute meets, then don't return for hours! Yikes! Your best bet to find your favorite character is to read various character websites (check links here!), or ask at Guest Relations at a Disney World park or resort (sometimes they can tell you where a character is meeting people that day), or check the Times Guide Map that you pick up when you enter the Disney World parks. Or just wander around and constantly look everywhere you go! Good luck character hunting!!
