Pandora – The World of Avatar Opening Summer of 2017 with new restaurant and more!

Disney has released more information and concept art for Pandora – The World of Avatar at the D23’s Destination D: Amazing Adventures event today and we have the scoop for Chip and Co readers.

Pandora – The World of Avatar is set to open in the summer of 2017, and will transport guests to a visually stunning world complete with floating mountains and bioluminescent plants. Guests will be able to experience two excursions that will truly push adventure to the next level.

The first is a family friendly Na’vi River Journey will send guests down a sacred river hidden within a bioluminescent rainforest. Their journey will end in an unforgettable encounter with a Na’vi Shaman, a figure who has a deep connection to the life force of Pandora.

The second area is a Avatar Flight of Passage excursion that will offer the jaw-dropping experience of riding on a Banshee over the world of Pandora.

Next up Disney shared more details on a one of a kind dining & shopping experience coming to the World of Pandora in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

Satu’li Canteen will be the main restaurant in Pandora – The World of Avatar and will feature Na’vi art and cultural items.

At Windtraders, travelers can find Na’vi cultural items, toys, science kits, and more.

And Pongu Pongu (pictured at the top of the story) will be a special drink location with a design that is as eclectic as its Expat owner.

All of today’s new images were shared by Walt Disney Parks & Resorts Chairman Bob Chapek during a D23’s Destination D: Amazing Adventures presentation at the Walt Disney World Resort.
