Haha, you learn new things everyday! :D
I really hope I enjoy Peter Pan. My first experience with it was in Disney, of course, and then comes the funny part, a lot of Disney movies, have a huge twist in the real book they are based off (What I mean is the chilhood ruiner moments). So I was wondering if there's such a thing in the book.
The Disney movie is more about magic and adventure, when the book gives at some point a society analysis (for example, the characters are not all gentle and friendly and there's a price to live in Neverland). The 1924 & 2003 movies are more about the original story, but the Disney is a nice way to discover Neverland (with flat characters...).
After reading the book, if you have some time, watch the Disney again and tell me what you think about it :)
