The playground, located in the queue for Dumbo the Flying Elephant at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World Resort, is a favorite spot for families with young children. This interactive indoor space allows kids to climb, slide, and explore while waiting their turn to ride the iconic attraction. Instead of standing in line, parents can relax while their children burn off energy, receiving a page when it’s time to board the ride.

The refurbishment will include updates to the playground flooring and netting, with PremUS of Orlando contracted for flooring improvements and West Coast Netting handling the updates to the play structures. The upgrades aim to enhance the experience for future guests while maintaining the playful charm that makes this queue so unique.

Despite the playground closure, Dumbo the Flying Elephant will remain open and fully operational throughout the refurbishment, ensuring guests can still enjoy soaring through the skies on this beloved attraction.

This refurbishment aligns with Disney’s continued efforts to refresh and improve its parks, ensuring magical experiences for all ages. While the playground’s temporary closure may be disappointing for some families, the planned updates will undoubtedly bring an extra layer of pixie dust to the experience once it reopens.

So mark your calendars, and keep in mind that while Dumbo’s playground gets its makeover, the classic attraction will still be ready to take you on a high-flying adventure!
