Peter Pan’s Flight: From Disneyland to DisneySea


My introduction to Disney's Peter Pan was riding Peter Pan's Flight at Walt Disney World in Florida as a small child back in 1983 (I did not see the Peter Pan film until it was released on VHS in the 1990s).  The attraction was definitely my favorite thing at The Magic Kingdom at that time, particularly because it seemed like the least threatening of all the "dark rides" there.  I made Peter Pan and Tinkerbell using shells, shark teeth, and other sea junk found on the beaches of Venice, Florida.

Peter Pan's Flight can be found at Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, and Shanghai Disneyland.  In addition, a brand new Peter Pan "land" with a brand new flying attraction is coming to Tokyo DisneySea in Japan.  It will be part of Peter Pan's Neverland in the new "Fantasy Springs" expansion planned for 2024.

All the Peter Pan's Flight attractions are slightly different.  I've only ever been on the versions in Florida and California.  But from ride videos I've seen, I think Tokyo Disneyland has the best one, as it looks to have taken the Florida version and expanded and upgraded the experience.  If you are a fan of Peter Pan, Tokyo seems to be the place to be.
