This past
Saturday, Disney finally opened
up the long awaited extended
queue for Peter Pan's Flight. If
you have followed me throughout
the past five years since this
website started, you probably
know by now that the one Disney
thing I love more than anything
else is Peter Pan. The story,
attraction, characters, etc. I
love it all, so I have been
anxiously waiting for this new
addition to finally open up.
Let's just say it was well worth
the wait.
The extension of
the queue is located where the
old Fantasyland restrooms once
sat. Just after turning the
corner where the Fastpass and
standby line once joined
together, guests now enter a
long corridor filled with
paintings from the film. Here
you can see Captain Hook,
mermaids, and Peter Pan himself!
After turning
the corner, guests find
themselves in the backyard of
the Darling family! In the
window we can see the shadows of
George and Mary (the parents in
he film), and see the shadows of
London off in the distance over
the fence.
We then enter
the household through the
backdoor. Guests pass portraits
of the entire Darling family,
including Nana!
After passing
the portraits, guests enter the
nursery of Wendy, John and
Michael. First we pass John's
bed where his umbrella and hat
can be found hanging in the
corner. Even more interesting is
the calendar found upon the
wall. The date is circled on
December 27, 1904, the day that
Peter Pan, the original lay,
first debuted!
Over at
Michael's bed we can find his
stuffed teddy bear lying upon
his bed next to some blocks that
spell out "Peter Pan." Next to
his bed are several more blocks
found upon the floor alongside a
miniature wagon. Fans of the
film will recognize that the
blocks are placed in the same
shape and order as the film, and
the wagon is what Nana trips in
during the film as well.
Across from
Michael's bed is Nana's doghouse
along with a bookshelf filled
with various toys and books for
the children.
Finally we pass
by Wendy's bed. While Wendy
didn't carry around any physical
items in the film, she did carry
along quite the torch for Peter
Pan himself. To represent Wendy,
we can find two paintings of
Peter's shadows upon the walls
next to her bed.
Overall, the new
queue is absolutely amazing and
a great addition to the
attraction. While I usually go
for the Fastpass on this
attraction, I may now start
going through the regular line
over and over just to get my
fill of it's awesomeness!
What do you
think of the new addition?
