Disney’s theme parks are often associated and imagined with fairytale castles such as Cinderella’s or Sleeping Beauty’s. There’s this magical and “happily ever after” vibe that fills every nook and cranny of the castle that makes you feel like you’re part of a real-life, enchanted fairytale. But your perception of a Disney theme park may change soon now that Disney has released a two-and-a-half minute behind-the-scene’s video of their latest attraction, Pandora: The World of Avatar.

Watch the clip below:


Doesn’t that fascinating boat ride through the Navi River make your heart palpate in excitement? Just imagine how thousands of bioluminescent lights will illuminate the river and create a grand spectacle you’ve never imagined before. According to Walt Disney Parks & Resorts Chairman, Bob Chapek, the park is expected to be opened in the summer of 2017 at Disney’s Animal Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Images and illustrations of what the park has to offer to its visitors have also been released.
