BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 From WDW News Today... Peter Pan’s Flight Officially Receiving An Interactive QueueJan 11, 2012 by wdwntadmin 1 Comment Posted under: The Magic KingdomWhile it has not been announced formally to guests, cast members have been informed that work will be happening in the queue at Peter Pan’s Flight between January 16th and March 6th. An interactive queue area is being constructed to entertain guests during the usual long lines that this ride gets. It is expected to open on March 7, 2012. Disney is stating that the work will have no effect on the attraction, so it will remain open as the Haunted Mansion did during the installation of its interactive queue. Stay tuned to WDW News Today as more becomes available on this story.http://wdwnewstoday.com/archives/8512 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewsFortLovers 2 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I love what Disney is doing with all these queues! That and fast pass has done wonders for the Disney experience! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Agreed! I loved the new Haunted Mansion queue option - we went through it even when there wasn't a line just to explore it all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Meh.I feel like these interactive queues are just an effort to appease guests by creating new stuff without having to add any new attractions.And I don't get what they are thinking as to how some of these work. We don't visit the parks when it's crazy busy, so I don't know how the HM alternate queue works on a busy day, but it seems like those who do the interactive stuff are getting suckered in to a longer wait.The interactive stuff they put in Space Mountain also doesn't make sense to me. I have never seen it where anyone can actually complete any of the activities on the computer screens without holding up the line. What's the point of that?TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 From MousePlanet...Peter Pan's Flight will remain open while work takes place on a new interactive queue from January 16 through March 6. This is in conjunction with work to add a new restroom and an additional path from Fantasyland to Liberty Square that will likely require the removal or relocation of the pet cemetery near the exit from the Haunted Mansion.http://www.mouseplanet.com/9857/Walt_Disney_World_Resort_Update Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Oh, that is so sad that they are removing the Pet Cemetary :-( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 A new path?I will like that.I guess it's going to go through where the skyride station used to be in Fantasyland.But why would it require removing the pet cemetery? That would be a very winding path.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Oh, that is so sad that they are removing the Pet Cemetary :-(I really hope they're just relocating it. Actually if they could put it somewhere so you can actually get a better view of it, that would be a plus!I finally got decent pics of the Mr. Toad monument way in the back this trip...

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 That is a GREAT picture!!!I have a funny moment to share about Mr. Toad in the Pet Cemetary. Shortly after they shut Mr. Toad down, they installed him in the Pet Cemetary. On one of our December group trips a large group of us were exiting Haunted Mansion and stopped to admire Mr. Toad. (We were not blocking the path). We had some folks brush past us and overhead us talking about him and they commented "Some folks need to get a life"!!Now I for one would be hugely dissapointed if all those little things were not in the parks!! That is what makes WDW what it is!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doodlebug....Cherie 461 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 They surely must have been talking about themselves, Carol! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is what makes WDW what it is!!And some people should get a clue!I agree 100% Carol. Looking for and stumbling upon those little details are a HUGE part of the fun and what makes WDW stand apart from the rest.It's also the reason I drive Brian crazy taking so many pictures. keith_h 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 So, the talk about the new path possibly going through the pet cemetery got me to thinking-Why would they do that?I decided to take a look at an aerial shot of the MK.I can visualize what they are thinking of now.Right now, to go from Liberty Square to Fantasyland, you must walk through the little space next to Columbia Harbor House and the gift shop. That area always gets congested. They must want to build a new walkway around the gift shop- they probably will use the area around the old skyway station.You can see the area in this photo- the big building next to the Small World building is the ride building for the Haunted Mansion ride:So, I can see them created a big wide walkway right through the pet cemetery, and then curving around into Fantasyland.The other thing I think is noteworthy in that photo is how big the construction area for the Fantasyland expansion is.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Anything that frees up the congestion in that area can't be a bad thing.Now if they could only do something about the log jam that happens in front of IASW. Even on a slow day I've been in BUMper to BUMper traffic there where the best you can do is shuffle or dodge and weave... and hope you don't get flattened by a stroller.Is that the ONLY reason you drive Brian crazy? :whew:Um... how much time ya got?

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Wow... just realized it's been 3 years since this was first announced! From the Disney Parks Blog... Sneak Peek: Interactive Queue to Debut at Peter Pan’s Flight at Magic Kingdom Parkposted on January 16th, 2015 by Jennifer Fickley-Baker, Social Media Manager If you’ve experienced the interactive queues at attractions like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Haunted Mansion at Magic Kingdom Park, then you’ve seen firsthand the way Disney innovation and creativity are coming together to immerse you in the story well ahead of stepping into a ride vehicle. Today we’re happy to share a sneak peek into a new interactive queue that will debut at Peter Pan’s Flight at Magic Kingdom Park very soon. Guests will soon be able to watch Tinker Bell fly around and interact with Wendy, John and Michael’s toys. They’ll also see their own shadows come alive on the wall in the children’s nursery and get a sprinkle of pixie dust before they head off into Never Land with Peter Pan. What do you think? Will you check it out on your next trip to Magic Kingdom Park?

DramaMama .......... Janet 75 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Chip & Co posted some videos of the queue. Cool! The bottom one is more of the walk through with the lights on brighter but no interactive stuff. The top video shows the interactive but is darker. Watch both - loads of detail! http://www.chipandco.com/peter-pans-flight-interactive-queue-debuts-walt-disney-world-206237/ BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
