Imagineering Pandora The World of Avatar | Hidden Details at Disney's Animal Kingdom

About this episode

The episode discusses the hidden details and immersive storytelling of Pandora—The World of Avatar at Disney's Animal Kingdom with guest Tatjana Lazar.

Pandora—The World of Avatar opened at Disney's Animal Kingdom in 2017, offering Walt Disney World guests an immersive land based on James Cameron's Avatar franchise. Designed by a team of Walt Disney Imagineers led Disney Legend Joe Rohde, Pandora takes Imagineering to a new level of immersive storytelling, engineering, and special effects. From Avatar Flight of Passage to Na'vi River Journey, Satu'li Canteen, the Floating Mountains and beyond, the land is filled with rich details that most guests will miss. In this episode, I chat with Tatjana Lazar from WDW Magazine to discuss our favorite Imagineering details and secrets from Pandora—The World of Avatar.
