The opening day Magic Kingdom attraction heavily updates a controversial scene of Peter Pan’s Flight that depicts a Native American tribe known as the Never Land Tribe.
Peter Pan’s Flight Never Land Tribe Scene Updated
The re-imagined scene now focuses on Tiger Lily and her great-grandmother. According to Disney, “the scene features the Never Land Tribe’s harvest celebration, with Tiger Lily performing by the fire with her great-grandmother.”
The scene previously depicted the Never Land Tribe with exaggerated features. This lead to concerns for cultural sensitivity in the depiction of Native Americans. The scene has been under scrutiny and subject to replacement for several years.
The attraction closed for refurbishment with little advanced notice back in July. Disney did not release details of work to be performed.
A Classic Disney Attraction
Peter Pan’s Flight is a classic Disney attraction, whisking guests away on an adventure through the story of Peter Pan. Located in Fantasyland, the ride invites visitors to board a “flying” pirate ship and soar above Neverland. As the ship lifts off, riders enjoy a panoramic view of London. A breathtaking aerial perspective of the city and Big Ben are among the whimsical sights.
The journey continues through the enchanting landscapes of Neverland. Guests encounter key characters such as Peter Pan, Wendy, Captain Hook, and Tinker Bell. The attraction is renowned for its charming and detailed set pieces, including the captivating Mermaid Lagoon. Utilizing a combination of practical effects and animatronics, Peter Pan’s Flight creates an immersive experience that captures the whimsy and excitement of J.M. Barrie’s classic tale.
The ride’s whimsical design, nostalgic appeal, and sense of floating above a magical world make it a must-see for guests. It remains a timeless favorite, embodying the spirit of Disney’s imaginative storytelling.
