Keeping Pandora – The World of Avatar Open for Some Super Special Central Floridians

Wow. It was so amazing to celebrate the opening of Pandora – The World of Avatar. For me, there was one special moment that I will always remember.

On Friday night, we invited some of our most important neighbors – 1,500 members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida – for a special sneak peek of Pandora before it officially opened May 27.

I loved seeing the wonder in their eyes as they looked up to see the marvel of the floating mountains. I laughed and screamed with them as they soared through the skies on the back of a banshee.

And I wanted to sing along with them as they floated through a bioluminescent rainforest filled with glowing exotic plants on the way to a stirring encounter with the Na'vi Shaman of Song.

Most of all, I watched as students transformed into adventurers – ready to embark into a world beyond belief as they enjoyed the epic new land of Pandora.

Pandora – The World of Avatar Marks A Historic Opening at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Today the highly anticipated land, Pandora – The World of Avatar, officially opens to guests at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

The largest addition in the history of Disney's Animal Kingdom, Pandora – The World of Avatar transports guests to the moon of Pandora, where they can explore floating mountains and bioluminescent rainforests. They can also enjoy unforgettable experiences, like sailing down a mystical river to encounter a Na'vi shaman at Na'vi River Journey, or experiencing what it's like to soar over Pandora on the back of a mountain banshee at Avatar Flight of Passage.

The land alone is an attraction to explore in itself: during the day, guests will find themselves surrounded by a lush and vibrant landscape that boasts interactive Pandoran flora, pouring waterfalls and flowing streams.

Families visiting the land at night are in for a whole new experience, as bioluminescent flora brings the moon of Pandora to life in delightful new ways.

Guests can also indulge in Na'vi culture by trying out cuisine at Satu'li Canteen, shopping for goods at Windtraders or even "connecting" with a banshee of your own at the Rookery.
