No, these will be genetically engineered and actually roaming around the land for people to interact with them. In some cases they will be released for a running with the bulls type atmosphere.

Call me crazy, but I'm betting there will be a bit of a difference between looking down on a tabletop model - and actually walking through towering structures and details.
One of the major things that I love about Disney is my admiration for the artists and constructors of these lands.
The thought, imagination, and sheer undertaking that went into it.
I continuously marvel at what they do.

Yeah, most of Animal Kingdom wouldn't look to exciting in model form.

So I just watched a Periscope video from d23. It showed a preview video they're showing in the Avatar area. In it was mentioned a canoe ride down a river and a night time nature hike. good stuff.
edit: there was a also a quick shot of some kind of food that might be available, i couldn't make out what it was though

EDIT: don't bother with this link, watch the vid in the post below!
Sure... I randomly found this on twitter: periscope link
why do people film vertically...do they not care about their viewers?

Looks like the food will be pretty interesting.

I think they will have normal themepark food in the mess hall but will have navi themed food through out the land.

So I heard on an unnamed podcast that the back story for this land takes place several years after the time period of the Avatar movie. That is why there is an abandoned military compound. It has been taken over by ACE (Alpha Centauri Expeditions) and used as a travel destination. The Na'vi in this particular section of Pandora are friendly to humans.
The food offered in the giant mess hall is being 'engineered' to look like more exotic fare. There will probably be some interesting menu items but it seems like they are (at least initially) going all out with the theming aspect of this if it is going to be present even in some of the food that can be purchased in this part of the park.
I also heard that the small animal sculptures are some of the creatures that will be seen in the land, but also on the river expedition. The river ride will be incorporating both animatronics and screen technology.
Apparently there are a bunch of walking paths throughout this expansion that will definitely be enjoyed as one goes on a night hike.

Interesting brochure being handed out. The "prepared" section seems to hint at what the land will include. Mentions walking under the floating mountains (the model and current constructions shows that), flying on the back of 'winged beasts' (the known flight simulator) and that you can tell others how you 'floated' through forests that glow (a confirmation of the boat ride?). Also mentions some other entertainment including tales from a Nav'i Shaman.

The brochure mentioned above has an overhead map in it:
Bottom left of the map looks like a queue for one of the rides.
