This has been an amazing summer for Walt Disney World. May 27th kicked everything off with the opening of Pandora – The World of Avatar . We have been hearing comments on social media saying “Don’t Miss It!” “Jaw Dropping.” “Holy WOW.” “Absolutely breathtaking.” “Like Nothing I’ve Ever Seen Before.” “Amazing.” If you haven’t checked these new experiences out yet, you really need to!
At Pandora – The World of Avatar transports guests to a mystical world of bioluminescent rainforests and floating mountains.

It features layers of apple and pear flavors mixed with limeade and topped with passion fruit boba balls. More than 2,000 are served every day.
