This morning, we got a new look at Pandora: The World of Avatar with a new All in the Details from Disney Imagineering. This episode showed us how they made Pandora as a real place. This was shared on the Disney Parks Blog:
In the film AVATAR, the planet of Pandora featured an ecosystem all its own, with lush bioluminescent flora, precious fauna, and a culture of people who saw and respected the value of their precious planet. In order to create this new land for Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the project team approached bringing Pandora to life as if they were building a real world – unlike one anyone had experienced before – based on the world in the film.
Our friends at Walt Disney Imagineering just shared this video, in which we learn how Imagineers and Animal Programs worked together to create a uniquely interactive ecosystem exclusively for Pandora – The World of Avatar. The park’s Animal Programs department, which includes conservation biologists and scientists, lent their expertise in order to help the land seem as authentically real as possible.
Also according to a report by WDW News Today, Annual Passholder previews for Pandora: The World of Avatar will begin very soon at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Those first dates are just two weeks away as reports are saying online registration for previews on April 8th and 9th should open very soon. More preview dates are possible, but there is no word on when they will be.
Rumors are saying Disney will request a technology ban so no photos or video will be taken of the new land ahead of the opening. The previews would begin nearly a month and a half before Pandora: The World of Avatar even opens.
Stay tuned for more details and confirmation of Annual Passholder previews beginning. Pandora: The World of Avatar officially opens May 27, 2017 at Disney's Animal Kingdom. I'll be there June 9 to begin my adventure on Pandora.
