Celebrating the Third Anniversary of Pandora at Walt Disney World!

Sivako… we are celebrating the third anniversary of Pandora at Walt Disney World! This week three years ago, Pandora – The World of Avatar officially welcomed guests inside Disney’s Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort for the first time. To celebrate the third anniversary of Pandora, Disney Park Blog has published a tale about this incredible place, as part of #DisneyMagicMoments.

Disney Park Blog brought together the two lead creative partners responsible for developing this incredible land in order to tell the tale. Joe Rohde, portfolio creative executive for Walt Disney Imagineering, and Jon Landau, producer of “Avatar” and its sequels. Together, the two visionaries took an incredible cinematic digital world and designed and created an insane physical environment right before our eyes, full of inspiration and breath-taking thrills.

Pandora- The World of Avatar, is something like never before, full of creativity and inspiration as ideas turn into reality, bringing a new era of immersive storytelling to Walt Disney World Resort!

Check out the video below featuring Joe and Jon as they tell you how Pandora – The World of Avatar meshes with Disney’s Animal Kingdom. See if you can identify the similarities between Pandora – The World of Avatar and its motion picture. Gain understanding as you learn how the stories from the film, land and the park complement each other. Check out the video below to celebrate the third anniversary of Pandora at Walt Disney World!

Another BIG Question About The Future Of Epcot in Disney World May Be Answered With This UPDATE

Epcot will reopen on July 15th with a BUNCH of new health and safety protocols. 

Epcot

While guests can expect dining, shopping, and waiting in line to look different, a reported new union agreement suggests that World Showcase could have a BIG change as well.

One of the most unique parts about Epcot’s World Showcase (beyond all the food, of course!) is that each pavilion is staffed by cultural representatives from each country. These Cast Members help to immerse you in each country and can teach guests fun phrases and facts about that location!

Takumi-Tei Cast Members in Epcot’s Japan

But according to LaughingPlace.com, when Epcot reopens, these cultural representatives may be missing from World Showcase. A reported agreement between the Walt Disney Company and labor unions states that Cast Members who “do not meet the culturally authentic theming at Epcot may be temporarily assigned to work in positions which are otherwise reserved for cultural representatives.”

Rose and Crown Outside Bar

Disney previously suspended the cultural representatives program in March and furloughed non-essential  employees. And with travel restrictions in place around the world, it may be hard for some of these Cast Members to return to Orlando.

Mexico Pavilion

Of course, we will be sure to check out this situation once Epcot reopens (because situations can always change, especially in Disney World) and we will report back on our findings. What Epcot and the rest of Walt Disney World will look like upon reopening is yet to be seen, but be assured we’ll be there when it happens!

Are you planning on going to Walt Disney World when it reopens? Here are 5 things you NEED to know!

How do you feel about cultural representatives possibly missing from Epcot? Will that affect your enjoyment of the park? Let us know!
