Living with the Land Peter Pan's Flight is an attraction within located in [[The Land]] pavilion at [[EpcotFantasyland]].

The history Like many of what would eventually be known as Listen to Walt Disney World's opening day attractions, the Land history of Peter Pan's Flight began when Kraft announced that it would sponsor The Land pavilion in the early 1950s as an idea for a Disneyland attraction. In 1954 Disneyartist Herb Ryman created concept art for a Peter Pan attraction planned for Disneyland's unbuilt theme park [[EPCOT Center]]Fantasyland. InitiallyIncluded in the art were a Mermaid Lagoon scene, Disney had expanded the concept of the "ecology and mineral pavilion" so as well as a large rainbow that it focused on the many environments of the earth was never used. <ref name= "Martinavenue"> http://www.martinsvidsdisneyavenue.netcom/?p=652 2014/07/making-of-peter-pans-flight.html </ref>. When the original sponsor of the pavilionIn August 1954, Imagineer Marvin Davis completed a logging company, ended its involvement, design for the theme and content of the pavilion once again changed <ref name= "MartinPeter Pan Fly Thru"/>. In September 1978attraction, Kraft agreed to sponsor the pavilion, and thus agriculture and food became The Landwhich now included scenes showing Hangman's focusTree and Crocodile Creek. In order to showcase agriculture, Imagineers created an open top boat This ride that would take plan also had guests flying through openings in the earth's many habitats, while showing man’s effect on them. Still inside their boat, the second half face of the attraction would allow guests to tour a working greenhouse that showcased new agricultural technologies and techniques <ref name= "Martin"/>Skull Rock. During the initial creation of the attraction, Disney had planned to create the "Living Laboratories" where food from around the world would be found growing<ref name= "Sklarwalt"> Sklar, Marty. Dream It! Do It!http: My Half-century Creating Disney's Magic Kingdoms//www. Disney Editions, 2013waltdisney. Printorg/sites/default/files/Pan_2. jpg </ref>.. This idea was later slightly modified. During Of note is the development of Listen to fact that in both Davis and Ryman's plans, the Land, two major changes took placeships that guests rode in moved counterclockwise. The first was This is the fact opposite direction that the greenhouses were added to ships would move when the attraction permanently (as opposed to being the temporary structures they were originally envisioned as)<ref name= "Martin"/>. The second change ride was the addition of a canopy to the boats themselves.

Furthermoreground track, an automatic narration was installed for the first half of the attraction, and the ride's theme song "Listen vehicles were instead connected by a large rod to a track on the Land" was removed <ref name= "book"/>ceiling. FinallyBy late 1954, the Symphony of the Seed recap that concluded the original attraction was taken out and replaced with a collage of people test track and agriculture from all over the world. The "futuristic" growing methods showcased ride mock-up were created by Bob Mattey and other Imagineers in this final scene were moved to an earlier part of the ride. On December 10, 1993, Special Effects shop building at the attraction reopened as Living with the Land Walt Disney Studios <ref name= "bookwalt"/>.

Following the changes in 1993In early 1955, little of note changed Imagineers and artists Ken Anderson and Claude Coats were charged with painting the attraction until August 20, 2006and getting it ready in time for Disneyland's opening day. At this According to Anderson:[[Image:Peterconstruction.jpg|thumb|400px|A Disney Imagineer working on the Tick-Tok Crocodile and Michael figures for Peter Pan's Flight]]{{Quotation| There wasn't timefor a lot of preliminary planning, we just went in there and did them!

Although very popular, initially Disney did not want to create a version of the attraction for the unbuilt Walt Disney World. Instead, Peter Pan's Flight was to be replaced by a Mary Poppins ride that took guests “flying” through various scenes from the movie <ref name= "Korkis"> https:/living_with_the_land_1/www.html mouseplanet.com/10436/Mary_Poppins_Fun_Facts </ref>. On July 29Eventually however, due to either the cost of creating the new attraction, or guest expectations for a Fantasyland that was similar to Disneyland, 2011 Chiquita Brands International announced it was decided to include an expanded version of Disneyland's Peter Pan's Flight in Walt Disney World <ref name= Korkis/>. With this task in mind, in February 1971, Imagineers Bill Justice and Bill Martin completed drawings for the Magic Kingdom version of the attraction <ref name= "walt"/>. Unlike the original Disneyland version where guests played the role of Peter Pan, in Walt Disney World's version guests would be sponsoring Living with fly over various scenes from the Land movie. To this end, Audio Animatronics of Peter Pan, the Lost Boys, various pirates, and Indians were created for the Magic Kingdom version of the attraction. Scenes featuring: Wendy reading to the boys in the nursery, Indians in their camp, and a climatic duel between Captain Hook and Peter Pan were also added to the new attraction. Also included in the Florida version, was Captain Hook's 48 foot pirate ship where the duel takes place <refname= "walt"/> http. One final difference between the two attractions is that unlike Disneyland's Peter Pan's Flight, the ride vehicles in Walt Disney World use an omnimover ride system similar to the one used in the [[Haunted Mansion]] <ref> https://www.prnewswiremouseplanet.com/news-releasesguide/chiquita148/Walt-andDisney-waltWorld/Magic-disneyKingdom/Fantasyland/Peter-worldPans-resortFlight </ref>. Peter Pan's Flight eventually opened on October 3, 1971, two days after the Magic Kingdom's grand opening <ref name= "allears"/>. Although Peter Pan's Flight hasn't seen any major changes since it opened, the attraction did debut a new interactive queue on January 29, 2015. Following the refurbishment, the queue is now themed so that guests enter the Darling children's nursery. While going through the nursery, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell pay guests a visit <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/peter-announcepans-multiflight/news/29jan2015-yearvideo-alliance-to-offerpeter-freshpans-healthyflight-chiquitadebuts-andnew-freshinteractive-expressfeatures-productsin-toexpanded-disneyqueue-guests-126408463area.html htm </ref> as part of a strategic partnership with Disney.

===Listen to the Land===Listen to the Land began with guests boarding their boats and being greeted by their tour guide. While they loaded, riders could hear the attractions theme song, "Listen to the Land" playing in the background. The first scene in the attraction was known as the Symphony of Seed. This scene was a stylistic look at how plants grow and spread. Within the scene, guests could see seeds being blown by the wind while classical music played. Moving out of the Symphony of the Seed scene, guests entered a rainforest. Here, the tour guide explained that in the rainforest, plants had to overcome a lack of light in order to grow. As guests passed through, they could see lush vegetation and Audio Animatronic animals thriving. After exiting the rainforest, guests entered a desert.

Here, the tour guide would explain that the unpredictable weather of the prairies caused problems for the plant life there. Two examples of this unpredictability, wildfire and storms, could be seen on the horizon as guests traveled "flying" through. Moving on from the prairie, the boats passed by a turn story of the century farm, as a country version of “Listen to the Land” played. After passing by the farmhouse (which featured a dog laying on the porch), guests entered the Barn Theater. As images of various forms of agriculture were shown in the barn, the tour guide explained to guests that research was continuing to make agriculture more efficient. Examples of this progress included better machines, fertilizers, and seeds. The guide also told guests that much of the food served in EPCOT Center was grown using these techniquesDisney's Peter Pan.

At this point in After walking through a covered queue that takes them into the attractionDarling children's nursery, guests would exit reach the Barn Theater and enter the research half of Listen to the Landattractions loading area. Now touring the pavilion’s greenhouseHere, guests board "aerial galleons" as they move forward into the boats would pass by various plants being grown in a tropical atmosphereshow building. Plants located here included: papayaBehind them, sugar cane, rice, bananas, pineapple, and vanilla.

Further onIn the background, guests could see crops growing vertically which was done in order to save spacecan hear nursery music playing. Other crops in the area were shown growing without soilRiders then hear Peter Pan say, "Here we gooooooo" as he and the tour guide would tell guests that researchers were using ladybugs as a pestilent (in order to cut down on chemical use)Darling children fly out the window. The last thing that As the group takes off into the night, guests could can see in Nana (the research facilities was future methods of agriculturefamily’s dog) barking beneath them. Futuristic ideas seen here included ideas for growing food on Leaving the moonnursery behind, and genetically altering crops to make them more nutritious and resistant. Guests could the galleons then fly over London, swooping just over Big Ben. As they soar over the city, riders can hear "Listen to the Landsong " one more time You Can Fly" playing in the background. If guests look closely at the moon as they passed through the Symphony fly by, silhouettes of the Seed finale before reaching the unloading areaWendy, John, Michael and Peter can be seen.
