Disney CEO Bob Iger has officially announced plans to create a second Avatar-themed land at Disneyland Park in California. This visionary expansion follows the overwhelming success of Pandora - The World of Avatar in Florida and promises a significant enhancement to the amusement park experience.
An Expansion That Sparks Imagination

Foundation for Future Expansions
