Disney Imagineering Shares Backstage Peter Pan Rehearsal in Official Video

The sanctioned glimpse into a Toronto training space offers access typically withheld to preserve character integrity.

Overview

  • Walt Disney Imagineering released an official YouTube tour of Disney Cruise Line’s rehearsal facility in Toronto, Canada.
  • The video identifies a performer named Max practicing as Peter Pan, using flying rigs and singing “I Can Fly.”
  • The out-of-costume segment departs from usual Disney norms that keep character identities private and bar backstage recording.
  • Additional footage shows rehearsals for “I’ve Got a Dream” from Tangled and “Prince Ali” from Aladdin, plus a look at Hercules puppetry work.
  • The Hercules show is promoted for Disney Destiny sailings beginning in November 2025, with no reported policy change or disciplinary action.
