Changes

When Walt Disney World was originally being designed, there were no plans for a Peter Pan attraction. Instead, the attraction would have been replaced by a Mary Poppins ride. Eventually however, it was decided to include an expanded version of Disneyland's Peter Pan's Flight in Walt Disney World. Although the basic idea of guests flying over scenes from Peter Pan was kept intact, the storyline was changed, so that it included Peter Pan as a main character. Other changes to the attraction included, the addition of Audio Anamatronics, which were not present in the Disneyland version of the attraction. Scenes depicting Peter fighting with Captain Hook, aboard his 48 foot long ship, and then Peter celebrating with the Darling children were also added to the Disney World version. The final difference between the attractions is that instead of stopping the ride vehicles to load and unload guests, Peter Pan's Flight in Disney World uses and Omnimover system, similar to the one used in the [[Haunted Mansion]].

Although Peter Pan's Flight hasn't seen any major changes since it opened, the attraction is expected to get an interactive queue in the near future. The queue will extend out to the former location of the Fantasyland [[Skyway]] station, which has been used for restrooms in recent years.

After ascending into the air, the first scene that guests see, depicts Wendy reading to John and Michael as they go to sleep. In the background, guests can hear nursery music playing. Riders then hear Peter Pan say, "Here we gooooooo" as he and the Darling children fly out the window. Guests then fly with the children out of the house. Below them, riders can see Nana the families dog barking, before they continue on. The gallons then fly over London, swooping just over Big Ben. As they fly over London, riders can hear "You Can Fly" playing. If guests look closely at the moon as they fly by, silhouettes of Wendy, John, Michael and Peter can be seen.

After flying over London, guests fly into Neverland. Below, Captain Hook orders his crew to fire upon Peter (and the guests). As the gallons fly over Neverland, guests can see the Mermaid Lagoon, the Lost Boy's Camp and Tiger Lilly's tribe below. The next scene guests see shows's Captain Hook's ship. Hook has taken Wendy, Michael, John and the Lost Boys captive. Nearby, guests can see the Tik-Tok Crocodile floating in the water. Peter Pan then arrives and battle's Hook aboard his ship. After defeating the pirate and taking control of the ship, guests can see Peter and the Darling children celebrating. In the water, the Tik Tok Crocodile can be seen trying to eat Hook, as the captain calls out for Mr. Smee. The final scene in the attraction depicts Peter flying the Darling children back to London, aboard Captain Hook's ship. Guests then arrive back at the loading area, and exit the attraction.
