Ground Has Broken on Avatar Land
Ground has broken on Avatar Land at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The new land will officially be called Pandora, and is taking over the space that was formerly held by Camp Minnie-Mickey. Ground was broken using giant blue shovels, based on the movie. Those in attendance were Avatar producer Jon Landau, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Tom Staggs, Walt Disney World President George Kalogridis, Chief Creative Executive for Walt Disney Imagineering Bruce Vaughn, President of Walt Disney Parks United States and France Meg Crofton, and Imagineer Joe Rohde.
Avatar Land was first announced in September 2011. Few details about the land have been released, resulting in false rumors that the project had been scrapped. Pandora is set to open in 2017 and will be one of many changes at DAK. Disney has also announced that there will be new nighttime entertainment at the park, allowing guests for a full day and evening of fun.
As of January 6, 2014, Camp Minnie-Mickey is officially closed. The characters can now be found in other areas of the park. Festival of the Lion King is also closed, but is set to reopen in a new theater in Africa in approximately six months.
