WDWNT Reporter Dirk Wallen was on the scene at Disney’s Animal Kingdom earlier today and he has some great photos to share from his trip:

Rivers of Light construction is picking up as they race to soft-open the show in March/April

I applaud Disney on the viewing area, glad to see stone benches instead of the metal bleachers

Here we see the control booth under construction

A view from Everest allows us to look from the same direction the crowd will see the show

Meanwhile, Pandora: The World of AVATAR races towards a 2017 opening, which may actually be sooner than we thought

It may be very early in 2017 when we get to visit Pandora for the first time as apparently work on the attractions is going well

Things are getting exciting at Animal Kingdom as we prepare for two incredible years of new offerings

  1. I have been watching the build of Pandora: The World of AVATAR with the floating rock work for the past couple weeks and I am in awe. I can’t wait to see how this develops over the months and of course the end product. Disney Imagineers keep it up because this will be AWESOME and AMAZING!

    Great pics from above The River of Lights build from Everest :-)
