This won’t just simply be a clone of the Pandora: The World of Avatar land that opened at Disney World’s Animal Kingdom in 2017. Instead, according to Disney, this new land will “draw inspiration from Avatar: The Way of Water and upcoming Avatar films to bring Pandora to life in a brand-new way.”
Back in August 2024, Disney shared that a brand-new Coco ride would be coming to Disney California Adventure.
