Pandora – The World of Avatar will bring a variety of new experiences to the Park, including a family-friendly attraction called Na’vi River Journey. The adventure begins as Guests set out in canoes and venture down a mysterious, sacred river hidden within the bioluminescent rainforest. The full beauty of Pandora reveals itself as the canoes pass by exotic glowing plants and amazing creatures. The journey culminates in an encounter with a Na’vi shaman, who has a deep connection to the life force of Pandora and sends positive energy out into the forest through her music.

Na’vi River Journey will open with Pandora – The World of AVATAR in 2017. Stay tuned to Disney Travel News for more details on this exciting expansion.

It is always exciting to get a glimpse of what is coming to Disney World.  The World of AVATAR expansion at Disney's Animal Kingdom is probably one of the most anticipated because we are not really sure what Disney will create.

Most people agree that the original AVATAR movie was visually amazing.  The scenes of Pandora and it's inhabitants were like nothing we had experienced before.  What we don't know is how this will translate into a series of Disney World attractions that we will want to experience over and over again.

Who is excited for The World of AVATAR to be completed?  We are if for no other reason than the fact that we love Disney's Animal Kingdom and are looking forward to getting rid of the construction and adding attractions to our day there.

The biggest drawback is that we have to wait until 2017 to get our chance to see, touch, feel, and experience the Na'vi River Journey and the other attractions that are being Imagineered.
