Name: Peter Pan's Flight
Type: Ride, Slow-Moving
Location: Magic Kingdom, in Fantasyland
The Gist: Board a flying pirate ship and sail through the story of Peter Pan.
A Must-Do For: It is most definitely a great choice for young children
Avoid If: You have a hard-core fear of heights. There are moments in this ride where you do get, maybe, I don't know, 15 or so feet in the air.
Fear Factor: 1/10. This is made for kids, except for those that would be bothered by the height issue, there is nothing scary.
Lines and Other Tips: As long as I can remember, this ride has had some of the most consistently long wait times in the entire park, usually at least an hour (don't ask, I don't know why either). If you refuse to wait that long, your only hope is to get inside when the park opens and make this your first stop, or get a Fastpass. Once the line gets long, it almost never goes down, even late in the day.
Ok, so, yes, I will admit it. This ride is old, cheesy, and most likely due for a serious upgrade, judging by the loud GGGGGGSSSSSHHHHHHK noises it makes the entire time, among other things. But, I love it anyway. It has been one of my favorite rides anywhere since I was tiny. So maybe it is the nostalgia? Either way, this ride is a classic, which is probably why it is so popular. Just don't go in expecting cutting-edge technology and uncanny-valley animatronics.
This is not the ride you go to to be impressed or thrilled. You go to release your inner child that would have loved it, warts and all.
xoxo, Lily
