However Genie+ (and former FastPass+) are designed contributes to the problem. The first factor is coincidence / system design. My guess is that Peter Pan’s Flight is popular because of two factors. Well, I don’t think it’s because the ride is that good. Peter Pan’s Flight FAQ Why is Peter Pan’s Flight so popular? Some children may go through a phase where the dark rides scare them, though Peter Pan has never actually upset our little one. Personally I don’t think my kid much cares whether we’re on Peter Pan’s Flight or Under the Sea or Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh or playing Peek-a-boo in Emporium.

If you’re visiting Magic Kingdom with small children the same advice applies, with the caveat that maybe your kids will get more of a thrill out of “flying” above the scenes. I’ll still consider riding it late, particularly if the park has, say, an 11PM close and I can get to it sometime after 10:30PM, but I’m done considering this one with a 60-minute wait at 1PM. That is, it isn’t a must-do, but it has must-do waits and Genie+ demand. It’s a fine dark ride, but if you have other things to do and don’t wind up fitting it into your day, I don’t know many people who would say you really missed out. Part of the problem is just that the ride isn’t really special enough to justify its outsized waits.
