You can get a pretty cool photo if another adult rides in the elephant in front of your DS and you. Move that elephant as high as he can go and get a shot with the castle in the background.
When I was a little kid I always wanted to be able to go to WDW and ride Dumbo. I never got to go as a kid but DH and I went as a sort of belated honeymoon when I was 24 and I was determined to make my childhood dream come true so I rode it by myself while DH videotaped it for history! I was the only adult in line without a kid but I didn't care. I loved that first ride and I was very blessed to be able to take DS with me on his first ride in February 2004. I can't wait to take DD for her first ride this upcoming December.
My family knows that Dumbo is my favorite ride and I never miss it. I think it is the perfect ride to be on and have the view of the Magic Kingdom surrounding you!
