12 Insider Secrets of Walt Disney World’s Breathtaking New Park: Pandora

Ride a banshee

Your first stop on the planet of Pandora, home to the blue, long-tailed Nav’i people, is the Flight of Passage. The exhilarating ride makes it feel as though you’re soaring through the spectacular Valley of Mo’ara on a winged banshee. Although you’ll no doubt be in hurry to try out the motorcycle-like seat that pulses beneath you as though you’re riding a real flying creature, slow down as you walk through the Resources Development Association (RDA) laboratories on the way to the ride. Here you’ll spot some amazing Disney Imagineering, including a 10-foot tall Na’vi suspended in a tank and science experiments that react to your presence. Tip: Lean forward on the motorcycle “seat” to really feel like you’re soaring through the air.
