Second Level of Dumbo Indoor Playground Reopens at Magic Kingdom

Overview

• The second, elevated netted level of the Dumbo the Flying Elephant indoor playground reopened and was seen in use by children on Monday, October 26, 2026.
• The playground first entered refurbishment in February 2025 and the main play area reopened after delays in July 2025, but the upper level remained closed for about a year.
• Dumbo the Flying Elephant continued to operate throughout the partial closure, meaning the ride stayed open even while part of its queue experience was unavailable.
• Reports from WDW News Today, Inside the Magic, and Disney Dining note that Disney has not issued a public explanation for the extended closure or the timing of the reopening.
• Restoring the upper level returns the attraction’s intended waiting-area feature that lets young children play while caregivers sit and could ease family visits during the upcoming holiday crowds.
