In search of Peter Pan!

[weluvslinkydog]

We are going to Disney in April, 2005 and I am trying to find a way for my 5 and 3 yr old boys to see Peter Pan. Is there a character meal he attends? Someplace he frequently can be found? Any advice would be so helpful!!

Peter Pan does not attend any character meals that I know of but we did get to see him. We signed up for the Family Magic Tour. This is a 2 hour tour that is offered daily (I think). It is like a scavenger hunt through the Magic Kingdom with a CM. The story is that Pan stole Hook's hook and we have to find it or Hook will turn all the rides into Pirate of the Carribean rides. We followed clues through the park and had a great time hopping, skipping, and singing with the other people in our group and the CM. At the end of the tour we are taken to a private area and Peter and Wendy showed up! My 4 yr old DD got to talk with them and we got pictures and autographs and then they took us to the Philharmagic show and we got to watch the show with them! My DD even got to hold Wendy's hand while they walked through the park. This tour was the highlight of our trip! Now, after saying all this I have to tell you that Peter Pan is not guaranteed to be the character you meet at the end of the tour but I have read lots of other accounts where he as been there. I hope this helps a little. You can call 407-WDW-TOUR to book the tour. It is $25 per person. Have a great trip!!

We first saw PP at Cindy's in 2000, but he no longer hangs out there. Your best bet to see him is in a nook beside POTC on the path that leads to Frontierland. Stop by Guest Relations at the park enterance for the times he'll be there.

Thanks so much for the great info!

Now that sounds like a ton of fun.

I don't think he attends any meal, but we did see him in Adventureland in the MK just after riding Pirates of the Carribean.. he was with Wendy!

He and Wendy were at our Family Magic Tour. We did the exact same thing as pam66. It is a lot of fun, even being an adult. I was afraid my DS(10) would think it was cheesy, but he really had a great time, and is looking forward to doing it again in May. He REALLY enjoyed walking hand in hand with Wendy. I got some great pictures of the 2 of them!

I had never even heard of this tour but I just booked it. Do you think my 13 year old son will think it's too cheesy? Also, do the kids get antsy that they are on a tour and not on any rides? It seems to take place during the best "ride window" of the day...10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Thanks!!

I'm glad to see I wasn't the only crazy mom seeking PP!. At the CRT breakfast he does a fly by and my son, who was dressed as PP, got a special (as so he thought) wave-by by Peter. If your son dresses as Peter the CMs at the MK greet them as such. Everyone said, "Good morning, Peter!" and my son lit up each time! As far as sightings I was told to ask the CM at the castle store for the Character time. He does come out in Frontierland by the Jungle Cruise, just ask for the time of the day. It was Captain Hook I found trouble finding! Good Luck!

We ran in to him around 9:30 one night in May of this year by the pool/boat dock area of the Contemporary. I have no idea if this is a regularly scheduled thing or if we were just lucky. My kids were thrilled!

We have seen him outside POTC also with Wendy & when they were not there Hook & Smee were.
