Peter Pan themed weathervanes from Disneyland Paris - Weathervane Wednesday

 These two weathervanes were spotted in Fantasyland at Disneyland Paris.

These two delightful weathervanes can be seen above the ride "Peter Pan's Flight" in Fantasyland. This is the most popular ride at Disneyland Paris, which surprised me because it is a three minute family ride for all ages.  At Walt Disney World in Florida the thrill rides like Space Mountain are more popular. You can find this ride at most of the Disney parks including California, Florida, Paris, Tokyo, and Shanghai.  

The two weathervanes are a pirate ship and a crocodile, which are both featured in the Peter Pan book and the Disney movie.  They are cut out of sheet metal with details similar to the animated versions in the cartoon film. The higher weathervane is the pirate ship, which can be seen from quite a distance in Fantasyland, and from near the Pirates of the Carribean ride in Adventureland.  The crocodile is more difficult to see since it is on a lower roof around the corner from the ride entrance. The crocodile is featured in the last scene of the ride.
