One of Disney World’s most iconic rides reopens in ONE WEEK — are you ready?
Peter Pan
It’s not uncommon for Disney World rides to undergo routine maintenance and refurbishment from time to time but when they do, they can really leave a hole in your park plans. If you’ve been planning to ride one of Disney World’s classic attractions soon, you’ll only have to hold out a few days longer for its reopening!
An iconic ride is set to reopen in Magic Kingdom in one week! One of the most beloved classic rides in Fantasyland has been closed for several weeks due to a planned refurbishment and soon, our time of waiting to ride again will be over!
Fantasyland crowds
We knew before it happened that Disney World planned to close Peter Pan’s Flight for a planned refurbishment several weeks back. We have to admit though, we didn’t think things would be this quiet around Fantasyland without it.
Peter Pan’s Flight
When the refurbishment initially started, Disney World put up temporary construction walls within the ride’s mostly visible queue exterior (likely to keep park visitors safe from fumes and debris) so we’ve not had a chance to see exactly what has been worked on during this refurbishment.
Peter Pan’s Flight is closed
We do know from speaking to a Cast Member when it initially closed that this ride is one of the oldest in the park and when the ride was built, the facade within the land was built around it which adds to the already complicated area the show building is located in to refurbish.
Peter Pan
We’re fairly confident that this closure was meant to refurbish mechanical, technical, and painting details but there’s always the chance that more could have been worked on and updated during the closure. Peter Pan’s Flight is anticipated to reopen on August 21st assuming there’s no need to extend its closure.
Peter Pan’s Flight
If you’re looking to catch a ride aboard a pixie-dust fueled ship of your own and soar with Peter Pan and friends above the clouds, we recommend that you keep an eye on the My Disney Experience app (and check back with us here) to be certain of its operating hours as we get closer to its reopening.

I LOVE Peter Pan’s Flight and it’s one of my most nostalgic attractions at the Magic Kingdom!
That being said, I’m not gonna wait in a crazy long line to ride it LOL! So if I can’t snag a LL or catch it with a lower wait, then I’ll skip it 🥺
I did get my fill at an After Hours event last year lol! I rode it many times with a very short wait. It was fantastic 👏
