Meet Peter Pan in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom (Photos and Tips)

“Off to Neverland!” If you overhear someone shouting that phrase at Walt Disney World, it’s probably Peter Pan. This bubbly boy who promises never to grow up meets in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom daily.

Below, we’ll review the details of meeting Peter Pan at Magic Kingdom. This is the only location where you can meet him at Walt Disney World. Unfortunately, he doesn’t participate in character dining. However, you can see him in the daily parade at Magic Kingdom.

Peter Pan meets in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom.

Peter Pan meets near his attraction, Peter Pan’s Flight, which sits across the walkway from “it’s a small world.” You can check the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit for the exact timing. You’ll find Peter Pan in front of the Never Land map. This mural has been repainted in recent years.

Peter Pan meets intermittently throughout the afternoon. Here is a sample of his times on the day of this visit.

1:15 p.m.
2:15 p.m.
3:45 p.m.
4:45 p.m.

You should check his exact times in the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit. Times and schedules are fairly consistent, but they can fluctuate occasionally. On this afternoon, I showed up at 3:30 p.m. for the 3:45 p.m. meet-and-greet slot. When you get to the area, you may notice the tape on the ground marking off a makeshift queue.

How to Locate Characters in the My Disney Experience App

Open the MDE app and select the pin drop at the bottom of the home screen.
Select the “Characters” category at the top middle of the screen. (The default is “Wait Times”.)
After selecting characters, use the park filter to select the park on the top left side of the screen.
Then, on the top right side of the screen, select “Show List.”
Scroll through the list of characters with their times and locations.

*As the day passes, you might notice that characters disappear from the app. When their last scheduled time passes, the meet-and-greet automatically disappears. A new schedule won’t be loaded until the following day. It is essential to check the app for meet-and-greets on the day of your visit.

Unfortunately, I didn’t notice the tape. So I got in line on the other side of the roped-off area where the line used to begin. Since I was first, others got in line behind me. As we continued to wait, another group of guests began to form a separate line in the actual queue area, even though it was apparent a line was already formed.

In addition to the awkward line situation, Peter Pan was scheduled to come out at 3:45 p.m. but didn’t make an appearance until 3:52 p.m. By that time, approximately 20 or so guests were waiting. Notice how these guests are all waiting in direct, intense sunlight. Formerly, most of this line was in the covered area extending past the meet-and-greet area.

Finally, a very energetic Peter Pan arrived. He walked past the line, saying hi to everyone before settling at the front to greet guests individually. Thankfully, we were able to settle the line situation. But I wanted to mention it since the entrance was not clearly defined.

Peter Pan was happy to pose for a few photos. A PhotoPass photographer was present. However, they are not guaranteed.

As for conversation, Peter Pan loves to talk about Captain Hook. He will even brag about how he stole Hook’s ship! He steers the ship through the Festival of Fantasy Parade daily at Magic Kingdom!

Lastly, Peter Pan signs autographs. If you have a green pen, he’ll especially love that. Although I think he likes red, too, like the feather in his cap. For more character meets at Magic Kingdom, try our walk-throughs of the following:
