Peter Pan’s Flight Closing for Refurbishment in July at Walt Disney World

Peter Pan’s Flight, one of the most iconic Disney Parks attractions ever, will be closing in July for a prolonged refurbishment.

Peter Pan’s Flight Closing

According to the Walt Disney World refurbishment calendar, Peter Pan’s Flight will be closed beginning on July 8th, 2024. While the refurbishment is currently scheduled through August 20, 2024, the refurbishment calendar appears to only run through that date currently. For instance, Test Track is only listed on the calendar through August 20th as well, meaning Peter Pan’s Flight is likely to be closed beyond this date.

Potential Cultural Sensitivity Updates

Rumors have swirled for a few years that Peter Pan’s Flight may be on the docket for cultural sensitivity updates. In 2022, the mural outside of the attraction was updated to modify references to an “Indian Camp”, changing it to a “Never Land Tribe”. Elsewhere, Splash Mountain and the Country Bear Jamboree are both close to reopening with changes for cultural sensitivity reasons.

What are your thoughts on this refurbishment and any potential changes? Let us know in the comments.
