News Avatar Experience coming to Disneyland Resort

Disney announces a new Avatar-themed hotel opening in July 2027 at the Disneyland resort! Closing March 23rd, 2028.

Vloggers will love it!
Rumor is hotel activities may include Tic Tac Toe as well as Jumping Jacks.

They would have Navii there but WDI insists the hotel is time locked into the era where Navii and humans don't interact. And they would have bio luminescent plants but WDI wanted this to be their own Avatar planet, not something from the movie. So immersive!

Sorry for the thread bump, but it's been six months since this surprise yet very vague announcement from Bob Iger. And several months since the TDA President Du Jour admitted publicly with a laugh that he had no idea what Bob Iger was talking about when he made this surprise announcement. 🤪

And six months later... nothing has happened and not a single peep has been made about it since. So obviously whatever this "Avatar Experience" is won't be showing up in Disneyland for several years, perhaps up to 5 years or more.

Shades of Bob Chapek announcing in June, 2020 that they were going to replace Splash Mountain with Tiana. And WDI and Parks Ops said "We are? Okay, whatever you say Bob. Um... Is there a kickoff meeting scheduled for that sometime soon?"

The timing of it was so weird and obviously not given much of any forethought. Same thing with the Frozen 3 announcement that apparently no one but Iger knew about...

The same thing happened with WDW's Avatar. There was a decent gap between "we're building this" and any details being given.

Really? I didn’t know that. I wasn‘t in to the Avatar thing and never followed it’s WDW development because I never saw a single blue alien on my doorstep at Halloween, which is a proven Scientific Method way of demonstrating pop culture significance.

So, do you think it’s going to be a big thing for Disneyland? Might Avatar take over all of Autopia and Motorboat Cruise and Submarine Voyage, leaving the New New New Tomorrowland of 2029 in a smaller footprint to the south?

It's bad for the fans and starts expectations way too soon for what may be a lackluster product.

I like how Universal now will build their rides in plain sight and not announce them until a few months before the opening dare.

Disney meanwhile is taking 6 years to build a Moana water maze and another 6 years to clone a 30 second ride from Shanghai. By the time they opened the fans have already lost interest and moved on.

Something tells me Iger was the only one who really knew.

Bob Iger is 72 years old. I have extensive experience with men that age.

I think Bob was likely just talking out of his behind and left it to his underlings to figure out what the hell just happened while he goes offstage to get a Diet Coke. He's done that before. And if he remains as CEO, it's going to happen again. Avatar Experience! Disneyland! 🤨

They checked the savings account and realized they had no money in it

Had no idea the man was so old. I guess that's just what a good plastic surgeon can do.

This might be more probable than we realize. With the exception of Guardians 3, every Disney release this year has been a box office bomb and it looks like Haunted Mansion will continue the trend later this month. Walt Disney World is allegedly empty this summer with minimal crowds. The company is not in a good spot and canceling unnecessary projects is a good way to save costs.

Probably best this regime stops doing projects.

Plus Botox, Juvederm, and the entire range of products from the nice folks at Allergen. Also laser resurfacing. And those $300 bottles of facial serums and $450 creams they sell to many folks in LA and New York.

And there's something obviously going on with his hair too, or the place where his hair used to grow on his head. Add in monthly gentlemen's facials and weekly massages and bi-weekly manicures and "hair" stylings. Plus a private home & travel chef, a private gym trainer, a personal stylist, a household manager, and whoever else Willow Bay has on her personal staff to coordinate looks with Bob's staff.

Mr. Iger is a walking billboard for modern decadence and lots and lots of money spent on personal appearance. An otherwise average looking man doesn't become 72 years old and just happen to look this good at that age.

1. Bringing up Iger's age was totally off topic and not what the person you responded to was talking about.

2. You then doubled down on your now frequent rants about age and appearance and wealth.

It's... just... disgusting how many time you go to this well. And totally off topic again.

Well, now we know why he needs all of the ridiculous bonuses.

It was actually exactly what I was talking about.

Thank you @Consumer, for a moment I thought I'd missed something. I didn't. :)

2. You then doubled down on your now frequent rants about age and appearance and wealth.

What else are we supposed to talk about? The Avatar Experience, whatever that might be, won't show up in Disneyland until at least 2028.

You don't think it's funny when 72 year old men spend that much on their appearance? It always makes me giggle, if only because I have a few fancy serums in my medicine cabinet myself. It's hilarious really. Just look at him; smoothed, buttered, coiffed, svelte and trim, perfectly tailored. I've been told by those that have shaken hands with him that his hands are so smooth and moisturized that it feels like shaking hands with a man wearing a silk glove. That's impressive stuff.

Miracles From Molecules, and all that. 🤣
