Tour the rides, restaurants and shops of Pandora – The World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Take an inside look at Pandora – The World of Avatar, as we were among the first members of the media allowed inside.

We were able to take a special preview tour of Pandora – The World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom today, and we have your first expansive look inside the detailed new land.

When it opens May 27, 2017, Pandora will give guests the chance to explore a world of bioluminescent rainforests, floating mountains and soaring Banshees. In collaboration with filmmaker James Cameron and Lightstorm Entertainment, Disney has brought to life the fantasy world of Pandora, inspired by Cameron’s film “Avatar”.

There are two main rides for guests to discover:

Avatar Flight of Passage sends guests on an adventurous ride flying above the jungles of Pandora on a mountain Banshee. We weren’t allowed to film on this ride, but we were able to film the detailed queue.
