The Magic Carpets of Aladdin

One of those rides, you use to take a break. You can watch your kids the entire time they’re in line & there’s «usually» NOT a long wait, but that’s as fluid as water???

A queue that works pretty quickly (was shorter the day we went, we saw an entire area that would be used on busier weekends), and they give you a number to walk over.
Fits four people (two front, two back), the mechanism to move the carpet up and down was up front, and if you want to avoid the camel «spitting», go high all the time. Less of a view, but better experience with a working carpet.

This is Dumbo — Rethemed to Aladin. Since I was bounding as Genie,(Thanks to everyone who got it) I thought this would be the perfect ride to start my Mickey;s Not so Scary Halloween party with. Easy, the wait wasn’t terrible, but watch out for those spitting camels. They’ll get ya.

This basically is the Dumbo ride but in a different section of the park. It also has a few modifications and I’ll give you the pluses and minuses in comparison with the Dumbo ride.
The Dumbo ride has better views, for sure. That’s the biggest plus for the Dumbo ride. Here you still have nice views, not as good though.
The controls are the same and you could control your magic carpet as high as low as you want it. It also moves around differently to a certain extent and you have a spitting camel that allows you a possibility of getting wet. Not soaked at all, just wet.
It’s definitely a fun ride but for some reason I liked the Dumbo ride better. Still, very good for little kids and certainly never a long wait. It is right near Pirates of the Caribbean, the jungle Cruise and the enchanted Tiki room.

SO MUCH FUN!!! I know it’s a little kid ride, but I am a fanatic about just about everything Aladdin. I was so happy there’s an Aladdin ride, even if it’s a tiny kid ride that spins up and down. It’s located in Adventureland (very near the Jungle Cruise and Tiki Room). You get to ride the «magic carpet» through the air. Watch out — the camel spits water out at you! It’s a shorter ride than expected, but I still had a lot of fun. I’m sure I would have had even more fun if I was a kid. My fiancé and I had a great time ;)

Think Dumbo, but better! More people can fit on the Magic Carpet than in Dumbo, so you can enjoy the attraction with more friends and family. Plus, I like the theming better. Aladdin! But SHHH! Don’t tell Dumbo — as I do still like him. This is a fantastic ride for children, especially young children. For some reason, being high in the air and going in circles are children’s favorite things. There’s no height limit to this attraction, so everyone can go on it — baby to grandma and grandpa. Oh, and I forgot to mention, just like Dumbo, you can control the Magic Carpet by pushing the lever up or pushing the lever down.

I’m a fan because the younger children can ride it and not be frightened. It is the same premise as some of the other rides, but so what. From reading the reviews I discovered that there used to be a control stick in both the back and front seats. That is no longer the case. Only the front can control the up or down movement of the carpet.
It is simple and 4 people can ride one carpet. Shorter lines that way.

This is such a fun ride at Disney World. It’s a cooler version of Dumbo where you pilot flying «magic carpets» instead of elephants. Sit in the front seat to control how high the carpet flies and sit in the back to make it tilt front and back. Fun for kids and adults and the line is never too long. Watch out for the spitting camel too! If you go up just at the right moment, you can time it so your friend riding in the back will get wet.

It’s a good ride because my son could go it but there is not very many rides he can. It’s nice but it’s exactly like dumbo

I KNOW DUMBO!
And sir this is no Dumbo Ride but my little one still wants to wait in line for over an hour to go in a circle for 1 and half minutes… could this ride be any shorter!!!
You go in a circle and you have a joystick that will allow you to go up and down… very high tech if you ask me. Can you sense the sarcasm? This is like a carnival ride with the art of Disney’s Alladin. It is a simple ride and all of the kids want to ride on it. I am able to talk my little one to wait until late in the evening to ride because all of the little kids get tired and go home early… that is the time to get in line, so you are not there all day!!!
While her make sure you check out the spitting camel, who is located at the front of the ride. Be cautious of the wet spots on the ground or you will be meeting the camel’s spit in your face or clothes… not a fun way to be greeted by a camel. I recently learned one of my Unilocaler friends was having a bad day and the camel spit on her and it made her happy! I call that the magic of Disney.

It’s Dumbo, but with with less wait.
Bonus is that it holds 4 instead of 2.
Why only 4 stars… because it’s not Dumbo.
You haven’t officially done Magic Kingdom till you had your picture taken on Dumbo.

If the line is under 20 minutes for The Magic Carpets of Aladdin, then you should definitely give it a go. The carpets hold 4 guests (as opposed to only 2 on Dumbo). They not only move up and down like other similar rides, but they also tilt as if they are actual flying carpets. The front seat makes has a joystick that makes you move up and down while the back seat has one that makes you tilt… so if you are only a pair, make sure you sit in the front!

Much like Dumbo and the rocket ships. Each carpet has two rows that accommodate two people. Each row has a control: the front controls altitude, and the back controls the roll (side to side). The whole thing last maybe 90 seconds. Toward the end, all carpets get raised to the top and held there before coming back down. If it’s at the end of the day and not busy, the Cast Members offer to let you remain in your carpet for a second ride if you so wish. And they aren’t genies. Isn’t that nice of them?

It’s such a simple ride: up into the sky and round ‘n round you go. Simple or not, I really enjoy this ride. I don’t ride it often, but everytime I do I have such a good time; it makes me wonder why I don’t take the time to climb aboard a flying carpet more often!

Kids love this ride.
Located in the Magic Kingdom, This ride is very similar to the Dumbo ride, but usually has less wait.
The ride consists of «magic carpets» which are spun in a circle slowly. Riders can make the carpets go up and down using the lever inside the carpet. The ride is slow and suitable for all ages.
Note: you may want to have an adult control the lever unless you like constantly going up and down. Kids can’t help themselves.
