This week, we shared an update out of D23 Expo Japan, where Bob Chapek, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, shared more on the expansion of Pandora – The World of AVATAR at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
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. You can read more about the expansion in our original story.
Na’vi River Journey will open with Pandora – The World of AVATAR in 2017.
And we also announced that we’re celebrating the return of the holiday season at the Walt Disney World Resort with a special live stream of a performance of one of our most popular holiday offerings, the “A Frozen Holiday Wish” stage show and castle lighting, right here on the Disney Parks Blog.
To join us for the live stream, visit the Disney Parks Blog main page tonight, November 8 at 6:15 p.m. EST. The live stream will appear in a new blog post at the very top of our site.
