PHOTO REPORT: Disney’s Animal Kingdom 2/1/17 (AVATAR, Rivers of Light, Lots of Animals, New Merchandise, Etc.)
Our latest photo report brings us to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to see the latest progress on Pandora: The World of AVATAR, Rivers of Light, and more around the park. Let’s take a look…
Wild Places and Parking Spaces
The large dirt barrier behind Pandora: The World of AVATAR is still quite visible from outside of the park. Trees should be planted here fairly soon.
I didn’t realize that they had installed electric vehicle parking at Animal Kingdom, but it is there, located just behind the handicap section.
Pandora looms in the distance…
Pandora: The World of AVATAR
The AVATAR area continues to speed towards an expected May 2017 opening, although Disney is just saying Summer 2017 at this point.

Wings and Things
The former Terra Treats allergy friendly menu is gone, replaced by beer and wings (for the most part)…
The clearly labeled display wings… I’m not sure of there real order is that small, but if it is, it is $2 a wing.
Meanwhile, the Harambe Popcorn cart is now selling merchandise: music CDs and binoculars.
Rivers of Plight
On most days, the Discovery River Theater is open for guest seating. It’s starting to sound like we won’t see Rivers of Light until AVATAR opens though.
All of the FastPass+ signage is up and ready to go when the time comes.
