May 27, 2017: Disney&#039;s Animal Kingdom welcomed the first guests to Pandora - The World of Avatar today. For the very first time, guests were able to walk beneath floating mountains, soar on the back of banshees and sail on a river through a bioluminescent forest. Guests also select their own banshees to care for at Windtraders merchandise shop (pictured).
