Camp Minnie-Mickey opened with Disney’s Animal Kingdom on April 22, 1998, serving as a rustic retreat where guests could meet characters and enjoy shows like Festival of the Lion King. After closing in January 2014, the area was reimagined into Pandora – The World of Avatar, which debuted on May 27, 2017. Inspired by James Cameron’s film, Pandora brought groundbreaking attractions such as Avatar Flight of Passage and Na’vi River Journey, transforming the space into a lush, otherworldly land that quickly became a centerpiece of the park’s evolution.
