First Look at Pandora - The World of Avatar at Disney's Animal Kingdom

Pandora is 4.4 light years away from Earth and thanks to Alpha Centauri Expeditions (ACE), it is possible to travel this incredible distance to take people to Pandora.

*Pro Tip: Ask the technicians (aka Cast Members) why they decided to make the move to Pandora. You may be surprised at what you may discover.

This is the Flaska Reclinata, one of the largest plants on Pandora and it provides oxygen for humans to breath.

The Valley of Mo'ara is where you begin your journey in Pandora. The floating mountains greet you as you hike under them.

There is beauty everywhere.

Make sure to explore all the trails and pathways! You never know what you will discover next!

D23 Expo 2013: Imagineering Teases Pandora for Animal Kingdom!

Imagineering gave D23 Expo attendees a look at some of the research they did on the moon of Pandora. Take a look at some of the sketches of the locals called the Na'Vi.

Here you can see a maquette of one of the Na'Vi.

Here is some of the beautiful handmade ornamentation that the Na'Vi wear.

The Imagineers brought back an exopack, a lightweight atmosphere filtration system that allows humans to survive on Pandora.

This floating rock is actually a piece of unobtanium, a highly valuable mineral found on Pandora.

Pretty much all all life on Pandora exhibits bioluminescent qualities in various shades of blue, purple and green. The plant seen here seems to respond to sound. It is kept covered for safety reasons as no one knows if it may release spores or anything else that could be toxic to humans.

The Expedition Everest bags remind us that the Imagineers are going to build their version of Pandora at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

Here I am trying on a Na'Vi or an avatar sized backpack. Not only is it huge on me but man it was really heavy!

Holding a massive Na'Vi or avatar sized boot! This was also pretty darn heavy!

Hopefully we will be finding out more about Pandora in the near future!
