Animal Kingdom Update: AVATAR Land Progress and More

Disney's Animal Kingdom Guests have a lot to look forward to. While there have been quite a number of new additions that have debuted in the park earlier this year, visitors are still eagerly waiting to experience the brand-new Rivers of Light nighttime show, which is still expected to debut before the end of the year. In addition to that, the AVATAR-themed land will open to Guests in 2017, adding two new attractions as well as more retail opportunities and dining locations.
