I guess this should be merged, but. . .

Have any of you been the last to ride Peter Pan lately?

A couple months ago there was an interesting thread about a woman who insisted on being the last on Peter Pan every night. Does she still do this and does she still provide unwanted narration for the parades?

Contrary to our usual pattern we never made it over to Peter Pan last week. We did not see the Peter Pan lady or the other couple we usually see in the Park. Kind of missed them.

I think a better question is, why does it matter? Is it really so important to talk about people behind their backs?

How would you feel if someone started a thread about you and your family and your actions/rituals/whatever in the park?

I have to agree with Eric.

At first, I was intrigued by this lady, but, I came to realize that she has her own little habits just as the rest of us do. My hubby and I ride POTC first and last when we get to DL. It's just our little thing. I think we need to grant this woman some human compassion.

I don't think it would be nice to post photos of her, but I don't think that being the last on a ride is that awful. It is eccentric and she has reportedly been adamant--even with little kids--that she be last. Furthermore, people have told her about the thread so it's not "behind her back." I think it's interesting that someone out there is even more into Disney than I am. Finally, a highly popular thread WAS started about me. See the April 1, 2005 thread "GREAT-looking guy spotted in Tomorrowland!"

Personally, I could care less about you or your ego. I don't think it's right to start threads and discuss people or their actions in the parks.

June, who is a special needs guest that visits the park and requests to be the last person on Peter Pan is a person. She is not a member of this board as was mentioned in "her thread" because she doesn't have a computer and therefore cannot express how she feels about knowing people are talking about her on an internet message board.

I can not for the life of me see the reasoning or logic behind trying to start yet another thread about her or her actions and feel that to do so is rude and it's more than likely a lame attempt by you to restart a conversation that has already dropped off the board in an attempt to continue to ridicule her or her actions.

P.S. I wonder how many people read this thread about her, but think it's just terrible that it exists--even to the point where they must make their objections public. It reminds me of the late Erma Bombeck (SP?) who was HORRIFIED by the perversions she witnessed inside a window in Los Angeles. She returned the next day to look and was equally shocked and offended.

Maybe you're right, but I found this woman to be interesting and I'm wondering if she's still trying to be the last one on Peter Pan every night. I don't think it's that big a deal. I'm not posing as a journalist from Kazakstan, misleading her into signing a release, and then featuring a carefully edited segment that ridicules her in a movie that's popular all over the world. (Borat.) Again, I'm just curious if she's still riding Peter Pan, and a "yes" or "no" will satisfy my curiosity. Although I'm frequently told I'm a dead ringer for Gaston, I do not want to lead my mob of groupies against her while singing, "Kill the Beast!" I actually identify with her. She's one of us.

If you don't like gossip, stay away from this thread. If you do like gossip, come sit by me!

OK then, yes she is.

Are we done now??

Yes, thanks. Erase threads.
And if that's impossible, ignore them and they will fade away.

I saw her around 3 today. I talked to her for a little.

I find the whole thing rather interesting and bizarre. I don't see how anyone can definitively say that she is "special needs" just because she's obviously obsessive, presumably lonely(?), and eccentric. Well, okay...maybe!

I think that if you behave that bizarrely, people are going to notice and, unfortunately, they are going to talk about it. It is rather interesting behavior. It's rather pathetic and sad though since most people have mentioned that she goes by herself. You just know that she must not have something better in her life. I feel sorry for the lady, really.

Me, too! She keeps getting trashed on the internet. Isn't that just terrible? Imagine being trashed by someone you don't even know. Imagine having assumptions of all kinds posted about your abilities, disabilities, social life or lack thereof.

Yep, I feel for her.

Last week I kept trying to get on Peter Pan, but that ride is always soooo crowded. My very last day, I got in line at 11:40pm. It still was a 20 or 25 minute wait!!!! I had to book afterwards to the Newsstand to get my Disney Stuff that was being held for me and then run full speed ahead to make it to the ART bus in time for the last shuttle at 12:30am. I still can't figure out when to do this ride when the line is shorter and there is no fastpass to help. I am going to have to stay at a closer hotel next time so I can walk home and not take the bus.

i saw her when i visited in september. she was just settling down for the parade of dreams, and she was singing the song they were playing on the speakers. she seemed sort of sweet, not harmless.

Dexter, it's simple human nature to want to discuss your unusual experiences with others. As long as people aren't openly badmouthing this person, I don't see the harm in comparing stories. I've never seen her, but from what I've read she's obviously unusual, and therefore interesting to many. You of course are free to come to her defense. But only the moderators of Mousepad can shut down a thread. And for whatever reason I immediately jump in the face of those who say that this or that is an unfit subject for discussion. If enough people want to discuss, then there's a discussion. If you don't want to participate, don't.

Go right when the park opens and you can usually walk right onto the ride, and all the rides in FL for that matter. In my experience that's the only time you won't face a huge line at PPF. I'll be in that line myself in three weeks - can't wait!

Ok, I feel that I need to defend myself here.

I am the person that originally posted the thread about the last rider on Peter Pan. I started the thread because I wondered if anyone else had encountered her or if it was just this one time deal that June was there and insisting that she ride last. I was not bad mouthing her at all. I was frustrated that she was arguing with my 6 year old daughter and come to find out this is not the only time that she has treated a child badly in Disneyland. If anything, my thread brought to light the fact that June has a history of reacting a little harsh by taking a child off of a carousel horse of pushing them to get on the Dumbo that she wanted or arguing with them about being the last rider. I am glad that people are aware of her behavior now.

Sure it sparked an interest with some people on here. It's only natural. But I also had said that everyone has there own little traditions that we do in Disneyland and in life. My best friend and Disney partner likes to ride the monorail in and take the kids on Autopia first (which has become one of my traditions now too!) My ex boyfriend has to go in at lunchtime and get a clam chowder bread bowl in NOS, it's a must for him. I always take a picture of my daughter on the cake with balloons inside of Mickey Mouse's house in TT.
We all do it!! Personally I love hearing about these strange yet fabulous rituals and traditions.

I am sorry if I offended anyone with Junes story.

Yes we do - I have my favorite things just like everyone else. But I need to acknowledge that sometimes I won't get exactly what I want. This is where this June person apparantly falls off the tracks. If she's actually fighting children for the right to be the last Pan rider, she needs to be escorted out of the park, whatever her mental condition might be.

so she gets special treatment for her obsessiveness and loneliness, but we're not supposed to talk about it!
no way!
