"‘Connect to Protect’ Introduces a New Interactive Way to Protect Animals on Earth and Explore Pandora – The World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom"

Personal opinion... I think this is an excellent idea. Great for the land, and even better for our environment. It almost seems too generous to be true. Am I missing something?

"Disney creates a virtual guide to Pandora, for a cause"

It was announced on the Disney parks blog as well. You can even choose what species of animal your donation goes to. As far as it being too generous to be true, I think they've been doing things like this for a long time. Like the conservation pins you can purchase at the parks- I believe Disney matches the donation you make. This new initiative makes me really happy and I hope it keeps going for a while.

The rumor is Pandora - The World Of AVATAR is going to be getting some "entertainment offerings". No specific details were mentioned at this time.

Entertainment offerings. That makes sense.

There's a stage by the drums you can hit and play so I have no doubt there will be some sort of entertainment. The area isn't large for the stage (I mean the area in front of the stage isn't large) so I don't know how it will ultimately work ....

My issue with their being live entertainment is that anything less than a Na'vi standing up there banging the drums will be disappointing.

Have some imagination.

I'm not here on Pandora to see HUMANS, I want to see some weird plants and really big blue people!

I thought live entertainment was always part of the plan.

It was, and this is far from rumor. Two main entertainment offerings (sort of three) are planned. Night "show" on the mountains, which is more of a sequence than a show. The drum circle bit. Also, some of the things the nightlife will do that interacts with both the mountains and drums could almost be considered a show.

Well, I've seen a lot of Pandora already in videos and Pictures... but no restrooms yet... How are the restrooms themed? Anyone seen any pictures?

There's one part of the land that I hadn't seen. Yes Park Journey, I am that "someone."

Here are the restrooms:

I don't believe this has been brought up in any posts so far, for those that have seen the full ride pov of flight of passage and have also seen avatar the movie it is clear that there is new fauna present in flight of passage. Do we know any of the names of these new pandoran species?

Jon landau has said some of the new things seen in the rides will show up in the Avatar sequels so it's likely we will learn of them then.

Like anyone knows the name of the fauna from the first movie. This isn't Star Wars where everything is named and cataloged.

Actually all of the fauna and flora have names in avatar. It may not be said directly in the movie but you can look on official websites or merchandise.

There is always that one geek that has to name everything.

if you really think about though everything has a name or categorization. It's a lot better than saying "hey look at that thing over there"

A nice little detail I noticed in the Ace pic of the water fountain, there seems to be a third fountain on top for filling water bottles. Now that's service! Hope they redo all the water fountains this way. I drink a lot of water, if it's cold this will be much easier than standing in line for a free cup of water to pour in my bottle.

The funny thing is, I'm planning on getting the NRJ FP so I can see the queue for FoP. Depends on what wait times look like when things actually open, of course.

The rest of the people I go with always think I'm weird, but I pretty much always try to do fastpasses like that. I try to look at which queues would be more entertaining/set up the experience and which rides are worth a long wait by still giving a satisfying experience. NRJ/FoP is a good comparison; both will have long waits, but NRJ I'd use the fastpass for because there's not a whole lot to the queue and the experience probably isn't worth a huge wait after the first couple times.
