Neverland

"There's a reason it's called Neverland. Because once you set foot on its soil, the Shadow never lets you leave."

- Wendy to Baelfire

Neverland is a world featured on ABC's Once Upon a Time. It first appears in the twenty-first episode of the second season.

Neverland is based on the location of the same name from the story, "Peter Pan", and the Disney film, Peter Pan.

On-Screen Notes

 * Neverland is featured in the title card for "And Straight On 'Til Morning".
 * Pan's map lists the following Neverland locations: Indian Village, Crab Sound, Bowline Point, Minaty Bay, Pirate's Cove, Pan's Secret Hideout, Skull Rock, Mermaid's Lagoon, Wight Isle ("Wight Is.") and Spire Islands.
 * Minaty Bay is populated locality north of Vancouver, where some of the Neverland scenes were filmed.
 * The Isle of Wight is the largest island in England. A theme park known as Peter Pan's Funfair & Amusements is located on the island in the seaside town Ryde.
 * Neverland was never affected by the Dark Curse and frozen in time because time stands still in there. This is proven when Neal left the island during the Dark Curse.
 * Early in time, it was permanently daylight in Neverland, like during Liam and Hook's visit or Malcolm and Rumplestiltskin's. Baelfire first gets in Neverland at night, but it is daylight when Hook talks to him on the deck of the Jolly Roger. When he is surrendered to the Lost Boys, it is once more dark and it was never daylight again until the island changed its appearance following Pan's death.
 * According to Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, the inhabitants of Neverland are no longer being sustained by magic or given immortality, since the magic that sustained Peter Pan's youth died out in "Think Lovely Thoughts".

Filming Locations

 * Most of the Neverland scenes were shot on a single set inside a sound stage that was constantly re-dressed to represent up to 12 different tropical locales, including the camps of Peter Pan, Mr. Gold, and Emma's group. The set was expensive and took a month to construct. The plants and props were moved around to create new surroundings. Almost 70 percent of the plants were real. There were two hundred real plants that had to be watered and pruned every day and heated at night, thirty actual tree stumps, and 450 fake branches to which silk leaves were added.
 * The Neverland set was inspired by Disney's animated Peter Pan movie and the Ewok village from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.
 * The scenes by Pan's Thinking Tree in "Save Henry" were also filmed inside a studio.
 * Some scenes were filmed on location, and some of them were filmed in Minaty Bay (which appears on Pan's map of Neverland), a populated locality north of Vancouver. Other scenes were filmed in the Vancouver forest.
 * The flashback scene where the Lost Boys take Baelfire to shore in "And Straight On 'Til Morning", was filmed at the beach in Garry Point Park, a large 75 acres waterfront park, located close to Steveston Village.
 * Britannia Beach, a small community located approximately 55 kilometers north of Vancouver, doubles as Neverland for the beach scene with Hook, Liam and Peter Pan in "Good Form".
 * Belcarra Regional Park in the Metro Vancouver area doubles as Neverland for at least one scene in "Nasty Habits".
 * The Spanish Banks, a series of beaches in the city of Vancouver, double as the Neverland beach for the episode "Mother's Little Helper".
