I thought I would share with you all some of the things we saw whilst there, including a full round-up of all the Flower and Garden topiaries, gardens and exhibits. This report is photo heavy, so be warned in case you have a slow connection.

Happy 61st Anniversary Peter Pan!
DisneyDan  Wednesday, February 5, 2014 11:13:07 AM
Today, 5th February, is the 61st anniversary of the premiere of Walt Disney's classic, Peter Pan. Debuting at the Roxy Theatre in New York City in 1953, it is the studio's 14th animated feature film.

Peter Pan, his Lost Boys, the Darling children and the pirates have gone on to become some of the most iconic characters ever produced by Walt Disney. They feature in many parades, shows and attractions round the world, as well as still greeting their fans.

Just as time stands still in Neverland, time has been good to Peter Pan and friends, allowing them to continue to have adventures for the past six decades, bringing joy and happiness to millions across the world, with their two simple beliefs that you should never grow up and if you think of all the joy you'll find when you leave your worries behind, you really can fly.

Youthful and timeless, and not looking a day older than their debut in 1953, Peter Pan, Wendy and all their friends will continue to bring adventure to those who believe for many more years to come.

Happy 61st Anniversary Peter Pan and friends!

Here's a selection of pictures from our travels through Neverland with Peter and the gang over the years.

Happy 60th Birthday Peter Pan!
DisneyDan  Tuesday, February 5, 2013 12:23:15 PM
Today is the 60th anniversary of the premier of Walt Disney's animated classic, Peter Pan (1953).

To never grow up, and to remain youthful forever is a dream that people have had for centuries. The ideal was captured in Sir James Barrie's early 20th century plays so perfectly that it still captivates new audiences today.

So, here's a collection of pictures of our adventures with Peter, Wendy and all the Neverland inhabitants at the Disney Parks throughout the years.

Happy 60th Birthday Peter Pan, Wendy and the entire of Neverland! May you never grow up!

Happy Birthday J. M. Barrie!
DisneyDan  Wednesday, May 9, 2012 11:26:39 AM
Hi all,

Today would have been James Barrie's 152nd Birthday. JM Barrie is best known for creating Never Never Land, and it's most famous inhabitant, the Boy Who Never Grew Up, Peter Pan!

It was nearly a hundred years after Barrie's birth that it was made into a motion picture by Walt Disney, but it was worth the wait.
Walt Disney's masterpiece, Peter Pan, is one of Disney's most treasured films and has given the world of Disney much to play with over the years, from attractions, shows, characters and more.
Of course, this is a character website, so let's take a look at some of the characters that have featured in the Parks, inspired by the original plays written over a hundred years ago by J. M. Barrie.
