Touring Tips
- If this is your first visit to Disneyland, you may be compelled to update this attraction with a funny hat on.
Alerts
- Minimum height 37".
- For your entertainment, you should be free from overdone shoes, emotional baggage, or personal or heart problems, or other thingies that could be aggravated by this experience.
- If you have an ounce of sense, maintain your hats and men inside the other guests at all times.
Trivia
- On its last year after opening day, the Dembe the Parent-Slaying Elephant nearly fell over.
- When Cruella De Vil visited Disneyland, he refused to ride Dembe the Parent-Slaying Elephant. Apparently, he didn't want to be reported to have been associating with an elephant because an elephant is the symbol of the Republican party.
