There is a desk nearby with notes, photos, etc.

PCI Intern Meet and Greet.

Here is a look at the ride vehicles.

Guests straddle the seat like a bike. There should be a test seat soon for guests who may not fit. The ride says no photos or video, so we don’t have any – but it’s very immersive.

Next, we had lunch at Satu’li Canteen. This is the only restaurant in Pandora, a counter service location.

Here is the queue, but there is mobile ordering as well.

Create Your-Own Satu’li Bowl. The other item of note is Steamed “Pods” – Bao Buns.

There are draft beers, wine and other beverages.

Kid’s meals.

We purchased a grilled chicken bowl with rice. I don’t like the vegetable slaw and wish they’d change it out for one vegetable.

I thought I’d like the bowl better than the steamed pod, but I actually preferred the pod – this is the Cheeseburger Pod, no cheese. It is like the consistency maybe of Hamburger Helper, with beef that isn’t a single patty. It is good. I found it interesting that people I have talked with either love or don’t love the pod, not really in-between. And same for the Blueberry Cream Cheese Mousse vs. the Chocolate Cake, I haven’t spoken with anyone yet who loved both. We have not tried the chocolate cake yet.

Here is a closer look on the Cheeseburger Pods.

We both really like the Blueberry Cream Cheese Mousse.

The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, and is nicely themed.

Now heading into Windtraders – the one shop, you can build your own necklace.

There are Pandora shirts.

This Avatar Maker makes you into an Avatar figure.

Here is a look at a figure.

And a few more of the figures.

All merchandise is Avatar themed, at least for now. This is a Shaman of Songs decorative figurine.

Na’vi tails.

Socks.

An animal that looks like My Little Pony.

And there are very popular Banshis that sit on the shoulder.

A mech suit sits in front of Pongu Pongu.

 

Pongu Pongu is a bar that has alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

A side view.

 

This menu lists beverages for sale.

The signage is written and painted over other signs as part of the theming.

I expect these are all Imagineers who worked on the land, Joe Rohde can be seen in the center.

And after the rain stopped, I walked around and took some photos. Here is a look at some of the new land.

Pandora – The World of Avatar opens on May 27th, 2017.
