Pandora The World of Avatar Disney Sneak Peek at Animal Kingdom

At the beginning of January, I received an email from the Disney PR Team inviting me down for a special sneak peek of something at Walt Disney World. To be honest with you, I was hoping (beyond hoping!) it was going to be Pandora The World of Avatar Disney at Animal Kingdom, but I truly didn’t know what it would be! The second I read our itinerary upon arrival and saw it WAS IN FACT to get a sneak peek of Pandora, I was THRILLED! I mean, THRILLED! I called my husband immediately and almost couldn’t even make out the words – that’s how excited I was for it! I guess it goes without saying that I was a HUGE fan of Avatar! When I heard the news that Walt Disney World was creating Pandora – The World of Avatar, I was floored.

Avatar – coming to life?

Could they actually do it?

Could Walt Disney World actually pull it off?

If there’s anything I’ve learned about Walt Disney World throughout the years is… yes, if they believe it, they can do it.

And so… Pandora The World of Avatar Disney will be opening May 27, 2017 at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It’s almost mind boggling to me because it’s such an incredible addition to the Animal Kingdom!

So what will Pandora The World of Avatar Disney bring to Animal Kingdom?

Pandora – The World of Avatar Disney will bring a variety of new experiences to the park, including a family-friendly attraction called Na’vi River Journey and new food & beverage and merchandise locations. The cool thing is that Walt Disney World Imagineers worked hand and hand with James Cameron (creator of Avatar) to bring his dream and vision to life. This world is an extended story for James and it’s wonderful and AWEsome to see!

As you can imagine, Pandora isn’t complete yet, but it was open to a small group of bloggers for a fabulous sneak peek! We were able to see up close and personal the floating mountains, alien floral, fauna, and the bio-luminescent world that will be there for all to see as Avatar opens to the public!

Disney Sneak Peek

I mean… it just sounds magical…

Pandora The World of Avatar Disney

The magical new land will transport guests to a mystical world of bioluminescent rainforests, floating mountains and soaring Banshees. Two main adventures will beckon Disney’s Animal Kingdom guests:

Riding a magnificent Mountain Banshee, guests will soar across Pandora on Avatar Flight of Passage. This high-tech adventure will offer a thrilling flight through the jungles and floating mountains, and over the majestic oceans of this colorful world. On the family-friendly Na’vi River Journey guests will sail down a sacred river hidden within a glowing rainforest. The expedition will end in an unforgettable encounter with a Na’vi Shaman, a figure who has a deep connection to the life force of Pandora.

Guests will also be able to dine at Satu’li Canteen, grab a drink at Pongu Pongu or shop for Na’vi cultural items, toys, science kits, and more at Windtraders.

The expansion completes the transformation of Disney’s Animal Kingdom from a day into nighttime theme park with captivating offerings and extended entertainment.
