James Cameron visits Disneyland

From Disney Parks Blog:

On Friday, legendary film director James Cameron and fellow Lightstorm Entertainment production partner Jon Landau toured the Cars Land expansion site at Disney California Adventure park, accompanied by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Tom Staggs and a team from Walt Disney Imagineering.

While there are no immediate plans for an AVATAR-themed land at the “Happiest Place on Earth,” Cameron and Landau used the visit as inspiration and to further familiarize themselves with the immersive Disney Parks experience as their team begins design work on the first AVATAR-themed land set to open at Disney’s Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort.

The team studied the details and storytelling elements in the 12-acre world of Radiator Springs that will open at Disney California Adventure park in summer 2012, before touring other parts of the Disneyland Resort.

Where Animal Kingdom will put the Avatar land?

Seeing some chatter now that is putting Pandora in an area behind Africa, part of which is now used by Conservation Station.

Long live Camp Minnie Mickey and Festival of the Lion King?

[Butters]

Other than festival of the lion king, might as well place over camp Minnie Mickey.... we just can't see the point of anything else currently there... Pretty much a bunch of meet and greets
