This week-end, without any announcement, a great new addition opened at WDW Magic Kingdom Peter Pan's Flight. Now, WDW guests who are in the stand-by queue enter the Darling house and move through the kids room, a hallway, etc.. before embarking for the ride. It's a fantastic addition to one of the most beloved ride in Disney Parks history, and i let you first have a look at this Youtube slide show video below with pictures done by
the Temporarytourist website who did a great pictorial article about it.
Looks great, isn't it? Now, my question - and yours, probably - is: will they built it at Disneyland Paris where, knowing that there is almost always a 45 min wait, it would be very welcome as it'll help to wait indoor instead than in the cold or rain which can happen quite often at DLP. But first let's have a look to see if they CAN do it, if they have the needed space to do it. Here is an official picture of DLP Peter Pan's Flight facade...
Now, if they build this new indoor termed queue decor it will be on the right of the building, so let's zoom...
Apparently it looks they should have the needed room but to make sure that we're right let's have a look from above thanks to this Google Earth 3D view...
If you click to enlarge the picture you'll see that they very probably DO have the room to add it, on the right of the entrance in the zone where you see the red and white umbrella ( circled in white ). And eventually they can take a bit on the space located on the right of it where there is outdoor tables and chairs for the Mr Toad restaurant ( circled in orange ) where there is rarely a lot of people. It's a bit up, not really on the same ground level, but that's no big of a deal for DLP Imagineers.
So, my guess is that, yes, they have the room to build it. Now, the other question is: will they DO it? It's always difficult to answer this kind of question with DLP as projects can change so quickly but if i remember it well i think i've heard recently that they're planning some attractions upgrades for DLP 25th Anniversary. And, knowing that Disneyland Anaheim will also have soon a Peter Pan's Flight upgrade with plenty of new projection effects my guess - and it' just my intuition - is that they WILL do it for DLP 25th Anniversary.
Another reason is because Peter Pan's Flight is one of DLP guests favorite ride, so always packed with most of the guests having to wait outside. And considering the long winter and freezing temperatures that can happen easily, more than any other Disney Park in the world DLP Peter Pan's Flight really need this addition. So, let's hope they'll be smart enough to do it!
