ORANGE COUNTY, CA — Disneyland will remove racial stereotypes and caricatures of indigenous people from Peter Pan's Flight, The Orange County Register reported.

The changes to the Fantasyland ride follow recent updates to its sister ride at Florida's Magic Kingdom, the report said.

While the timing of the changes was not disclosed, officials said the current scenes depicting indigenous people on Peter Pan's Flight will be replaced with a new scene depicting Tiger Lily and the Never Lan Tribe with cultural authenticity.
