Peter Pan's Flight at the Magic Kingdom is currently under exterior refurbishment.

Scrims are so far in place over the side of the building facing the Tangled restroom area, but are not yet the photographic scrims that we typically see. Despite the heavy exterior scrim work, the ride is operating as normal.

This area has already seen 'it's a small world' receive an exterior refresh ahead of the Magic Kingdom's 50th anniversary later this year.

Is this just for a simple paint job or is it receiving significant changes? I always thought the Disneyland facade puts ours to shame.

What do you like better about the Disneyland queue? I have never been, but thought the queue at Disney World was pretty cool, since the last update. (Of course this is all based on not having a Fast Pass. If you do, there really isn't anything to the queue.)

The locale of Paris tops them both

Everything in DLP tops them. Well, except Indy.

Sorry, I meant the facade, not queue =) I love the aesthetics of DL's (and Paris) more than the medieval themed flags. As a whole, I think our Fantasyland would be vastly improved without them.
Disneyland's Fantasyland re-do really makes our Fantasyland look cheap. I was hoping they would have done all the facades over when they did the big NFL addition... to make it al work together better...

Agreed - the Magic Kingdom tournament tent theme is comparatively awful. Absolutely should have been a complete redo.

WDW Fantasyland looks like a crap fair compared to DL's. NFL in WdW is beautiful, and that theme should've been carried through the rest of the land.

Last time I checked, they don’t have a Matterhorn as the ride’s backdrop ;)

Ooh, when Disney used to care about sight lines. I miss those days.
I think TDO reasoning for not giving PPF a complete Bavarian facade redo is because it's within the castle walls and there is suppose to be a royal fair going on. I.E. the cheap way out. I'm sure there is a way to incorporate a fully fleshed out Bavarian themed facade for PPF, IASW, and MP, losing the tents and banners, while not turning the old SWSA into a M&G but I digress.

Honestly, I'd be surprised if there wasn't a full set of plans drafted to do exactly that. From what I understand, the NFL project was originally intended as a full land refresh and was gradually scaled down.

I doubt it would ever happen, but IMO the flow of the area could/would be greatly improved if PPF's entrance moved where this construction currently is.
