Disney Announces Opening Dates for Avatar, Star Wars
Entertainment Monica Poling February 08, 2017

If you’re beyond ready to head to a galaxy far, far away, there’s good news. Disney has announced the opening of its Star Wars-themed lands at Walt Disney World Resorts and Disneyland Parks this week. The new themed lands, which are the largest-ever, single-themed land expansions at either park, will open at 2019.
When open, each land will feature all the fanfare and magic expected of Disney. Guests will feel as if they’re spending time at a remote trading post on a distant planet, one of the last stops before thy head out into unexplored space. Throughout the new Star Wars land, favourite characters and their stories will come to life.
If 2019 seems like an impossibly long time to wait for Star Wars, take heart. The new Pandora—The World of Avatar-themed land is opening much sooner at Disney’s Animal Kingdom on May 27, said Disney CEO Bob Iger during The Walt Disney Company Shareholders meeting yesterday.
The new, 12-acre land, inspired by the box-office hit, “AVATAR,” will take a look at what’s happening in Pandora, about a generation after the end of the human-Na’vi conflict.
Tourism is the greater theme here, there’s even a Visit Pandora website. For thrill-seeking tourists, there will be the Avatar Flight of Passage attraction. This high-tech, high-speed adventure will include a thrilling flight on a Mountain Banshee over the majestic oceans of Pandora and through its jungles and mountains. A more family-inclusive attraction will be the Na’vi River Journey, where guests can enjoy a sail down a sacred river hidden deep inside a glowing rainforest, anywhere they will ultimately meet up with a Na’vi Shaman.
The themed land will also include dining at the Satu’li Canteen, a Pongu Pongu beverage stand and Windtraders, where guests can shop for Na’vi cultural items.
