ABC’s The View later showed another preview from inside Pandora – The World of Avatar featuring Avatar creator James Cameron and The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg walking around The Valley of Mo’ara section of Pandora. The video also features never-before-seen footage of the boat ride coming to Pandora – The World of Avatar, the Na’vi River Journey. James Cameron and Whoopi also discuss where Pandora – The World of Avatar takes place in the Avatar timeline.
“There’s Avatar’ the first movie, then there are the four sequels that we’re working on next, and then a whole generation after that when all the conflict, all the struggle, all the warfare between the Na’vi and the humans is over,” Cameron said. He also mentions that some of the ideas of Avatar came from his dreams when he was a just a teenager.
Cameron also discusses just how amazing Pandora – The World of Avatar will look at night once all of the bioluminescent plants come to life. ”This whole land will light up at night,” Cameron mentions. “I actually think, in a way, it’s more magical by night.”

The Chew sampled the Lumpia snack from the Pongu Pongu snack stand inside Pandora – The World of Avatar. The snack is described as a crispy pineapple-cream cheese spring roll. The Chew co-host Clinton Kelly described it as “pineapple cream pie in an egg roll.” The snack is Chinese of origin and is a popular snack in Indonesia and the Philippines. They are traditionally filled with vegetables and meats, but Disney has taken taken that concept and turned it a sweet treat for Pandora – The World of Avatar.
Nightline also aired a segment on Pandora – The World of Avatar later tonight on their show that will feature an in-depth look at the stories of the land. The clip features a close-up look at the seats for the Flight of Passage attraction. Check out the full clip above if you missed it.
