What is the name of the lagoon where mermaids appear in Disney’s 1953 Peter Pan?

The lagoon where mermaids appear in Disney’s 1953 Peter Pan is called Mermaid Lagoon.

Mermaid Lagoon is one of the best-known locations in Disney’s animated version of Peter Pan. It is a scenic part of Neverland where Peter encounters mermaids and where Wendy Darling is placed in danger after being targeted by them.

The setting helps Disney combine several elements from Barrie’s story, including the island’s magical geography, Peter’s relationship with Wendy and the contrast between wonder and peril. The mermaids are not simply decorative characters: their treatment of Wendy creates an important conflict in the film.

Mermaid Lagoon should not be confused with the pirate ship Jolly Roger or with the island name Neverland. Those are separate locations in the same story. The lagoon’s name is also used in Disney-related attractions, merchandise and later adaptations.
