"Peter Pans Flight is overrated." Me, who gets dragged on that long line for that ride every time we go by her father and is always underwhelmed: "Yup. I'm watching this."
I want to see a prank where we put up a prank where they say “due to inflation Disney will start charging an add-on fee per ride for certain popular rides at Disney and Peter Pan’s Flight and we will make it $99.99 per single ride at Peter Pan’s Flight lol.. we will say it’s due to inflation … and instruct staff to say dude it’s all about supply and demand … Next, we will have pretend customers who never paid the $99.99 pretend they did and TONS of them and persuade the others that it’s a 4-hour line to get on the ride Lastly, we will have an announcement that ladies and gents due to overcrowding and long waits the ride has some malfunctions and some of the normal special effects have been turned off , we apologize for the inconvenience, also we are running at 50% capacity as some ride cars have become disabled due to new internal safety and security inspections for your safety and enjoyment of the ride. To compensate for this inconvenience we will be handing out prizes which include a blow pop LolIipop or a Sesame Street Apple juice box… Also to save money on the ride to keep costs from rising further they talk about making the ride cheaper by not having the car move And instead you stand and watch a screen after waiting for hours and paying $100 to head over and over again in a dark room “you can fly you can fly you can fly you can fly you can flyyyy. You can fly …. With sounds of babies crying for mommy’s milk over the you can flyyyyyy bored restless
"Oh nice, Disneyland just opened 5 minutes ago, we should go to Peter Pans Flight before its too busy" BAM...already 40 minute wait time only after 5 minutes of opening...every single time..
@@armchairrocketscientist4934 indiana jones, space mountain, splash mountain, and haunted mansion were always the first ones my family would run to. we would only wait for the dark rides if we had little ones with us who have seen the movies but never been on the rides
This ride is a family favorite because of how much we hate it. "Hey look. Want to go on Peter Pan?" "No, that ride sucks!" and then we all laugh as we're trampled by the stampede of strollers.
When the ride ended in Florida, we got stuck for a bit. So for a few minutes the only thing we heard was "Help me, Mr. Smee! Help me" over and over again. I still can't hear that line without getting flashbacks
That reminds me of the time I got stuck on Splash Mountain next to a laughing Brer Rabbit. I eventually just covered my ears because I couldn’t take it anymore.
silentpaw I could never see Brer Rabbit again without hearing him laughing in my ear... (but seriously I am actually excited about Princess and the Frog Splash Mountain because it’s my favorite Disney movie)
You think that worst, my family and I gotten stuck in Pirates of the Caribbean twice in one sitting. The first one was in near the cat pirate who is offering rum to two frighten felines and worst of all getting stuck on the lift hill at the end of ride. Now that's the most scariest thing that ever happen.
My mother stayed in the doom buggy for another round when I went on Phantom Manor for the first time. 🙀 I also can‘t forget that moment. Now, ghost rides are my favourite. :3 And I‘m in love with exactly this ride. 💜
At MK the wait is usually 90 minutes so I'll go with the Disneyland version instead. I mean, the queue is great but it doesn't justify that kind of line.
I agree. The flying effect is what gives it the “awesome” factor. If ET was a better melancholy character his ride would surpass this and in its own way it does with a similar flying effect
I know the big problem with Peter Pan's Flight in Orlando, it would be the location. It is across from Small World. It is also a kind of Bottleneck in the park as well. And with it attracting over 100-minute cue lines, mainly to accommodate Fast Pass, because of traffic slowdown in that part of the park, I agree it is a bit overrated. But that's just my POV. I've been on it once, and it really isn't as impressive as Haunted Mansion or Pirates.
my mom and i went to WDW a couple years ago and i really wanted to go on peter pan's flight. but she said no because it had a 90 MINUTE WAIT TIME. 90 WHOPPING MINUTES. my mom doesnt like waiting in lines and neither do i, but really 80+ minutes is ridiculous no matter the ride
I was actually scared of this ride when I was really young. I'm pretty sure it had to do with the illusion of being high in the sky and the ride being dark. Also I don't think it's worth it if you're an annual passholder or visit very often especially if you've ridden it before (but if it's your first time visiting you should go on it for the experience I guess) but it is a classic nonetheless. It could also be worthwhile if you have a fast pass or Guest Assistance Pass/ Disability Access Service Card which is what I have and use whenever I go.
Holy shit I never new that existed!! I'll have to get one the next time I go cause I get these really bad back pains whenever I walk or stand for long periods of time and this'll definitely help out
@@aghhaaggsdhsdh368 honestly you're the second person who has said that they didn't know about it today. It honestly doesn't really surprise me, because funny enough I have a friend that's a cast member and she didn't even know it existed until the day we had hung out at one of the parks late last year and I needed to add her on but there's a another story surrounding that bit, but yeah in her defense she had only been working at WDW for 3 months at the time and she works for food and beverage rather than guest relations so I don't blame her for not knowing.
@@zakarypalacios7687 yo bro I'm trying to put something together for a college paper on everything opening up so if you don't me askin what does you're friend think about the parks opening up and covid
@@michaeln8723 Sorry man I'm not sure if she would want me to or not and plus I haven't heard from her in some time so I don't know what's her most recent opinion and I don't want to put words in her mouth that she didn't say.
Story time: so when I was in Disney land in 2010 we went on Peter Pans flight. Now my mom had us in the fast pass line and yet it still took around an hour and a half. Needless to say that to a 6 year old like I was couldn’t bare it and have hated this line to this day.
I went in 2011 and it took like an hour before my ex and I were able to get on the ride and during the dark parts of the ride we were making out, so the ride felt even shorter 😆
@@ohboy2592 If it's a busy day, you easily wait 2-4 hours for a ride at Tokyo Disneyland / Disneysea. Or worse, the ride completely sells out for the day within a couple of hours of the park opening, due to long wait times and fast passes being sold out 😅 Its crazy!
Indeed. I’ve been there as well. It’s dreadful. 2 hours per ride. At least some few rides have the single ride separate queue line to abuse. The japanese people amazingly do not. Fast pass is the way to go.
@@the13throse Seriously. I always prefered the Joker over Batman, Dr. Drakken over Kim Possible, Gaston over the Beast, Sideshow Bob over Bart Simpson, Hades over Hercules and the list goes on. I think it’s because us good girls are always attracted to bad boys... as cringy as that sounds, it’s unfortunately true.
As someone who grew up with the ability to go to Disneyland practically whenever I wanted to....I could probably count on both hands the amount of times I've been on Peter pan. It's a super cool ride, but you are right that it seems like there is ALWAYS a huge line. Also don't get too excited about jumping jellyfish. It's about as exciting as waiting in line for Peter pan.
I’m sorry, but that title breaks my heart. Peter Pan’s flight is my favorite ride in the whole world. It’s so magical and beautiful. I’ve loved Peter Pan since I was 4 so riding that ride makes me feel like a complete child again🙃
I ALWAYS rope drop Peter Pan. I don’t go to Disney all that often and when I do it’s usually only for a day and I have to cram everything in. So I usually make a run for it, then I leave whoever I came with in the line, grab some fastpasses for other rides, and then run back. I think it’s the perfect Disney Magic opener for the day. I love World’s version, those practical effects are tops. But I do also love Land’s version...it has mermaids. ☺️
Too right! I’ve actually got a video planned with tips to avoid that line. It’s on the back burner while the park is closed & the tips are completely useless. But when it opens & I post the video, I’ll link people to this one. Because you’re exactly right!!! Love your channel and videos, btw. Thanks for great content!
Soooo the old medieval store next to the ride has been closed for many years and it’s sometimes used for old seasonal products.. Maybe gut it and turn it into extended ride queue and add the ride to the virtual queue. 🌟😌
For some reason, there's always a wait for Pooh in Disney World while in Disneyland, it's ALWAYS a walk on. From the times I went, I never had to wait for Pooh in D-Land
Bemi Atto Same! Like, there will occasionally be a slight delay because children and elders aren’t always the fastest to load/unload but maybe like ten minutes tops on a super busy day.
This is one of my favorite rides because it’s one of my mom’s favorite rides. Momma grew up with Peter Pan, and she grew up with this ride. And watching her light up as she leans out of the boat to look at the scenery is just better than anything else in the world. Granted, I’m talking wdw version
I can say the same about the Disneyland version and my dad. Now that he has passed away this is truly my favorite. I go to Disneyland once a month and always include Peter Pan. I have never waited longer than 20 minutes - often less. Completely not overrated. This video made me sad.
Hearing 40 minutes being a long wait for this ride at Disneyland blows my mind. Walt Disney World’s averages around 75 every time i’m there and I’m a local passholder.
yesss i love your rants!!! it’s so fun seeing somebody as disney obsessed as me to see other people’s perspectives of the rides because everybody has pet peeves at the park but don’t talk about it much and how to improve:)!! love your videos!!!!
I have had good luck getting a nice spot at rope drop. Everyone rushes for it, but half the people have to park strollers before actually getting in line.
bigevilworldwide1 I completely disagree with everything you said. We have completely different opinions about this ride. Even when I am on a solo day I always enjoy Peter Pan. It is my happy place within my happy place. I also go once a month, always ride Peter Pan at least once, and never stand in line longer than 20 min - often less.
bigevilworldwide1 it’s my wife’s favorite ride. By no means is the best in technicality, but there’s a lot of nostalgia associated with these older rides.
Never clicked on a video so fast. I’ve been saying this for YEARS! We actually go to Disney World so we have the awesome que. As awesome as the que is, waiting in such a long line is so not worth it for a 2 min ride. It’s beautiful, love the soundtrack, so neat but could they have maybe made it longer? Also, I believe a huge reason why the wait time is so long is due to the breakdowns the ride always go through. All in all, I’ve said the same things you have said but am forever grateful for the beautiful, timeless ride.
Disneyland people don't know how good they have it… 40 minutes is a SHORT wait at WDW… don't even get me started about Tokyo Disney… I'd jump for JOY if something was a 40 minute wait there…
I very much agree! While I love this ride for all the same reasons as you mentioned, I absolutely hate waiting in that line. It's so cramped. I went on this ride shortly before they closed in March and someone had vomited all over the outside part of the line making it extremely difficult to maneuver and reroute us. In the end though, I think lines are all going to change at Disneyland-- especially this one which you're forced to be in other people's space. Crossing my fingers that they just do a virtual queue for all these.
The ride is always worth the wait. Few rides immerse you and capture you childhood memories as thoroughly as Peter Pan, visually, the characters and ride flow is cinematic. The music, perfectly timed. This ride captures simple wide eyed smiles more than anything in the parks. I’m 65, and I’ll ride this till I’m 100 because I know it will forever recapture my youth.

I refuse to accept this, it is as beautiful and amazing as the first time when I was 4 experiencing it! Such a beautiful nostalgic ride!
Have you seen the hidden items in the woodgrain once you get" inside" the building? I adore this ride and I like your channel so I watched even though I disagree with you. Before the app officially dropped that I heard helps keep people entertained in line I was anxiously waiting to get on Peter Pan's flight and I suddenly saw an acorn in the post next to me. Then I found a teddy bear and Nana's doghouse and up in the rafters the jolly roger. I was thrilled and wracking my brain to figure out how I hadn't noticed them before. The line then became this fun scavenger hunt for my family. When I got up to the cast member seating us I asked about the hidden shapes and he said I was the first one to notice and they were recent. Those details are part of what keeps me coming back to Disney
Have you used the Play Disney app when in line there? It has Peter Pan themed games to play while in the line, hidden objects to find in and around the queue, and an interactive Tinkerbell lantern prop toward the end of the line that you can trigger with the app. It makes the line seem super short and fun. I highly recommend it!
I remember seeing you in the jungle cruise queue last year but I was too far to say hi! This ride is too magical for me to skip despite the sweaty 40 min line😌
I've been to Disneyland over 3 periods of time in my life so far. Once when I was around 8, once my Sophomore year in HS, and most recently for the honeymoon trip with my wife. I swear the wait times between cart release on those dark rides and Pirates have been shaved down to the barest minimums. I didn't recall being so close to other airships in Peter Pan, but that could be 30+ years of memory storage issues on top of tiny person perspective. I KNOW we weren't bumping into other boats in Pirates nearly as often though.
The first time I went to Disneyland, the ride was closed for renovation. When it finally opened, the wait time was like 40-70 minutes. After the ride, my brother and sister, (who had gone to the ride before,) said nothing changed. They also noticed how the ride was shorter and most of the ride revolved around the flying scene. We have never gone back to Peter Pan since.
When I had an annual pass to WDW, I went on Peter Pan once. I stood in line twice (left once for a bathroom break). But I don't think the ride is worth that ride. I know lots of people like it, so I don't judge. Just not a fan. I can ride Jungle Cruise twice in that time.
My fiance over the past three years has joined my family's annual trip to Disney World. Last trip he asked me why we never go on peter pan I just dont think its worth the wait, explained to him the premise of the ride. He convinced me he wanted to wait 40 minutes to experience something new, that HAS to be good if the line is always so long. we finished the ride and he was so confused why an average ride has the wait time of space mountain.
I've only been to Disneyland in Feb-Mar, and hardly ever had to stand in line for anything, so I love this ride, it's kinda magic in it's own way, and since it was one of my fav's from when I was a kid in the 70's, it became so again when I brought my daughters and it was their favorite of the classic rides as well
both lines are slow. both lines are HORRIBLY slow. to where i dont wanna wait in them. yes i love the ride, but the wait time kinda ruins it. the queue is amazing, though! like the only bad thing is the rides wait time!
When I was there in late 2018, there was some sort of game you could play on your phone while waiting in line. Doing that would unlock some sort of Tinkerbell figurine in a small glass chamber on the exterior of the building. I didn't play it but I watched as others did.
I have to agree with you. I’m from the UK, so my local Disney park is Paris, and when I went last year December time the line was always 90 minutes long, from the morning to the end of the day. They also have outside queue like DisneyLand, so it’s fun waiting in the rain. Still love the ride and have to go on it every time I go.
I just came back from Disney World 5 days ago, and we we all went on this ride at Disney World. The ending seemed “incomplete”. At the end of the ride, my mom and I said to each other “Is that it?”. It just seemed super incomplete.
Peter Pan and Inner Space are the rides that hold the most childhood nostalgia for me. So wasting 40 minutes, every once in a while, to get to travel back in time, even just for 2 minutes...it's a small price to pay...for me. But, yes, that line can be rough...The sad thing is, even the line kind of makes me nostalgic.
I love the ride, it’s worth the wait for me. The thing that cracked me up about this video is that you used every song but Peter Pan’s signature songs. (No, seriously 😂 1.Work Song 2. Under the Sea 3. Winnie the Pooh 4. Once Upon a Dream
The flying effect is what make this ride absolutely amazing and worth the wait. Plus in Magic Kingdom, half the line is spent in the coolest interactive waiting area in the park. It’s all-in-all one of the best Disney experiences, arguably up there with Haunted Mansion and Pirates.
Completely get it! WDW always had such large wait times for the ride. When I took my last trip, that was the first fastpass I booked so that way I didn't have to wait in the line. I think it feels more like a let down if you have waited that long for a 2 minute ride. I love it but its a very long wait. I's totally go for more rant videos or just rambling videos about anything. Your humor is the best and we all need laughs right now.
OMG yes, I really really wish that they would add to this ride an INDOOR waiting queue. 2 years ago, when I was there with my husband on our honeymoon, we were waiting for this ride at around 3pm, on the 4th of July. It was STEAMING outside. And we had just eaten burritos and margaritas in Downtown Disney about an hour before. The horrible combination of direct sunlight and alcohol made us cut out of line early to take a LONG nap in our hotel room to recover. I really think that some amount of a/c or shade would have helped!! xD
Totally agree!! Absolutely adore the ride, it brings such an amazing feeling of magic when you go on it, but I just can’t justify waiting that long for two minutes lmaooo. It’s exactly the same in Paris, always seems to be between 40-60 mins, and most of the queue is outside.
Whenever I go to Disneyland I just ignore Peter pans flight because I always thought it wasn’t worth waiting in that line for a ride that is extremely short. I still enjoy the ride I just feel that the queue is too boring and the line is too long. I always thought I was the only one who felt that way so I’m glad that you said something about it.
We'll typically only ride it with a fast pass because the wait time in WDW is often over an hour. Not worth that long of a wait. But...was happy that they did do just what you suggested and redid the queue to make it more interactive and nicer to look at.
lmao go off king w this hot take 😤😪 also would love to see more opinion vids like this it’s always fun to hear other ppl’s “controversial” park opinions
I don't like Peter Pan's Flight cuz I hate being reminded of the racism against my people with offensive caricatures. Yes I know they're a part of the original movie but do they HAVE to be in the ride?
Yeah Peter Pan and Jungle Cruise have some horribly racist caricatures of indigenous populations, I was really surprised that they haven't been addressed AT ALL, especially with the whole Splash Mountain thing (which is less overtly racist imo)
In Walt Disney World the ride loading is so much better with the use of the moving platform and how the ship vehicles never stop like with any omnimover ride BUT STILL has a long line all the time.
I used to frequent Disneyland Paris, and plan to continue doing that, and this ride is a problem there too. I love the ride, but there’s consistent 50+ minute wait times, so I rarely ride it. It has the same queueing problems as the one you spoke about!
I 100% agree! I really only visit WDW and our wait times are almost always double what Disneyland’s are. I’ve only gone on Peter Pan’s Flight like 5 times despite going to the park itself about 20 times since our line averages closer to an hour. The ride is absolutely lovely and the interactive queue is pretty fun, but the wait STILL never feels worth it.
Thank you. I absolutely thought I was the only one who flips out over this phenomena. 2 minutes. I have to say to myself, as I stroll by this Peter Pan 90 minute line, "at least they aren't making my line longer somewhere else". Gotta stay positive!
i kinda got beef with peter pan because i got stuck on it for over an hour at magic kingdom it was cool but also terrifying but i don’t think i can ever ride this ride again
Jumping jellyfish is an unassuming ride! My sisters and I went on it because there was no line and we loved it! I would definitely recommend you go on it especially when the line for it isn’t long at all it’s a fun little ride!
My husband and I hopped in line for this at 10 minutes to close. My family and I would always make a plan on which line to get in at 10 minutes to close. Usually it is one of the "big" rides, but this particular visit was only one day at the park and for nostalgia reasons I wanted my husband to experience one of my family favorites. I noticed very quickly that the ride was sped up considerably. We seemed to be flying through it much faster and the music seemed sped up. Has anyone else ever noticed any rides being sped up at the end of the night? It's totally understandable, but I thought it was interesting. Long story short I kinda wished we had used that last 10 minutes for another ride on Thunder Mountain.
I am 100% with you. I seriously cannot understand why all of the fast pass are gone for Peter before Space Mountain or even Buzz. Last time at Disney world we had to go straight from Dwarf train to Peter during early hour just to get on the thing. Have no desire to go again unless a 10 minute wait.
I agree soooo much. I always saw the wait time for like an hour (about the same as 7 dwarves mine train). Then I rode the ride, and oooooooffffffffff. It's okay, but really boring. I'm not really in the age range for the ride, but I could've waited that time for 7 dwarves (which I still haven't gone on)
I went to Disneyland Paris in February this year, the wait was just over 1 hour for this ride. The queue sounds similar to Disneyland.. A lot of outdoors and when you get inside not much to entertain you. I hadn't been to a Disney park since I was in my late teens (now 37)so I was just happy to be there & wanted to go on everything!! I do love the ride though, even if it is too short.
I 100 percent agree with you, i get it, it’s a classic, but the animatronics are so bad they’re hard to look at, the London scene is so lacking in detail it’s embarrassing, and the best part of the ride doesn’t make up for the wait
Man, I totally agree. And I'm down for more rants. Personally, my biggest upset when I go to Disney is the guests that push strollers through people like a freaking battering ram. Last time we went some jerk nailed my mom's foot hard. There wasn't even a child in the blasted thing!
It’s not the greatest ride, but I do have an interesting memory. About 10 years ago, when my family still had a set of annual passes... my mom’s purse fell out towards the end of the ride, during a turn. I think after informing the CMs they let us go on again to spot the purse. They actually closed the ride down (close to end of day I guess) temporarily to retrieve it, which was plainly in sight from the ride! Dunno if this is normal, but yeah I recommend holding onto your belongings even on children’s rides. I was a kid so it seemed crazy to me
I clicked this the second I saw it!! I FINALLY rode it at WDW during MNSSHP in 2018 after seeing the line for that being so so long every regular day and I've never been so underwhelmed!! The best part of that ride was easily the queue!!
Peter Pan's Flight is one we always Fast Pass. I'm sad I can't see the new Disney World queue, but dear god I am not enduring that wait time for what amounts to a sixty year old dark ride with moving manikins. I would LOVE to hear more of your pet peeves. I feel like you have some pretty unique and interesting perspectives.
I agree. I love this ride, but rarely go on it because the line is simply not worth it for most visits. I suspect that being so near the entry for Fantasyland has an effect, which is also why Mr. Toad often fares slightly better with its wait-time despite the lower guests-per-hour due to having a less well-placed entrance. Great video. Nothing wrong with having an opinion on something that could be improved; making the queue more efficient or entertaining would only help an already-great ride become better.
I STRONGLY AGREE WITH YOU. the first time I went to disneyland was in my fifteenth birthday ( it was a one day ticket), I remember I was sick that day due to climate change ( it was late autumn). my fifteen year old self was feeling like crap but it was too excited so I ignore it. anyway, peter pan was one of my favorites farytales when I was a little kid, so obviously I was going to take that ride, I WAITED IN LINE FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF, I wasn't feeling ok standing for too long but hey I knew that was going to happen, I was on an amusement park after all, WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW was that this ride was a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT, I mean, it wasn't horrible but man! I WAITED ALMOST TWO HOURS FOR A TWO MINUTE RIDE! the actual ride was not bad, I did like the animatronics and the lights, the sound effects I think it was a cute ride, but tbh all of that was nothing compared to how many time i wasted, I was not feeling it, my legs hurted and I was too disappointed to see the good things, i felt like i wasted my time on that ride.
As a child it's often a common fantasy to fly. Medical science tells us that flying dream are extremely common. Peter Pan is a beloved family classic. These all help to explain the huge attraction to the ride. The wait time in the queue though is def a big issue. If I recall correctly, in recent history a retail space was closed and there was speculation that it would be used to create an indoor queue for PP. If a proper "pre-show" queue could extend the ride experience, it would go a long way towards making the wait time acceptable. Fans are always going to want to experience that magical sensation of flying.✨
i can see how this ride is totally not worth it if you visit often/AP but having rode this for the very first time in my 20s last year i was so amazed. I remember my jaw just dropping when I saw all the twinkling stars & feeling that real disney magic around me. Worth the wait ❤️
My AP buddy and I always pick a day to take off work and choose a strategically empty day in the park, usually February. Even on those days, when rides like haunted Mansion only have a 10 minute wait, Peter Pan is still a 45 minute wait!!
I've been on it once in Disneyland. I was that person who saw the long wait times and thought "this must really be worth it". Like...it's grand. But this video really sums it up.
