Since day one of the announcement, I always thought Pandora fit well into AK, way more than the other three WDW parks. Up until recently there was always that huge opposition group that didn't think Pandora fit. These brief clips we've received have reinforced my original belief. Pandora works for AK. It's another jungle habitat, just like Africa or Asia. The only difference is that it's an imaginary environment populated by imaginary animals (shades of Beastly Kingdom, though with an IP overlay). And that pretty much fits in with the Disney myth. I like what I see at this point in time. Of course, the bottom line will be if there is enough to do outside of the rides, and if the attractions are strong enough, to make this land significantly more than just another AK jungle experience.

And I maintain it fits as well as T2 would fit into Epcot because "technology". To each their own.

Can confirm that AK Managers have done a full ride through of Na'vi River Journey last week and remaining cast members (apparently some went on it the week before last, no clue why so early unless they let CMs that are working the ride on first) will be able to do full ride throughs sometime this week. Family member (vague for obvious reasons) who worked directly on the initial implementation of the River Journey joined the managers last week. Got some vague details, a non disclosure wasn't mentioned (could be different for CMs) but this is the first time in over a year that he's said anything about it since a pretty hardcore non disclosure was implemented up until they actually started showing footage.

UPDATE: Remaining CMs wont't be doing a full ride through until later next week, for whatever reason they didn't go down when I originally said. I'm hearing some really positive things about it though.

So... if you were curious.. proo-Rhode is Zsolt Hormay.



Rock specialist. Like, making fake rocks is his specialty. He also worked on Tower of Terror. Wonder how he feels about the replacement project... then again, the floppy earlobe and constant wearing of the big ugly necklace in both the Cars Land and AVATAR videos i think speaks to his general sense of taste..

What's your point? Carsland rock work is some of the best I've ever seen. His jewelry is eccentric....and?

Please inform me why exactly Zsolt Hormay's appearance matters. It's his work that matters when it applies to Pandora or Cars Land, and both seem to be top notch.

Now that all the walkways are paved, it's easier to make out all the paths meandering through the land. The large, lush area at the center right of the bottom picture appears to be a walking/exploration trail of sorts. I think the land is going to be a visual feast, but now let's just hope the rides are good!

There's one walkway that is slightly hidden that i've marked in red below (to the right of the quick service location). That pathway connects in to the new Africa section where the FotLK theatre is:

Something I haven't seen mentioned:

Face painting. It's meant to allow you to get the look of Pandora or one of the animals.

Cuz... people apparently want that...

so apparently you've never been to any state or county fair ever? face painting is huge, especially with kids.
I dread the face painting line! I will have to divert my child's eyes as we walk by.
I'd rather wait for a princess meet and greet. LoL.
