Disney has released more information about the upcoming Pandora – World of Avatar land at Disney California Adventure.
A portion of the current Hollywood Backlot area will be transformed into Pandora. This project is still in the early stages of development, and additional details will be shared later, including construction timeframes.
To make way for this new experience, Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! will close in early 2026.
Pandora – World of Avatar was confirmed to be headed to California in some shape or form in a 2023 earnings call. At D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in 2024, a model and concept art were shown, and the boat ride was revealed.
The ride (and surrounding land) will be inspired by “Avatar: The Way of Water” and the following films in the franchise. It won’t be the same experience as the existing Pandora at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
