Just about a month ago we learned that Avatar creator James Cameron and Walt Disney World were teaming up to develop several Avatar Lands in various Disney Parks.

Today Cameron visited Animal Kingdom, which is the first park that will see an Avatar Land.

The photo of Cameron and company visiting the park was shared by the Disney Parks Blog:

As work continues to bring the epic fantasy world of AVATAR to life at Disney Parks, filmmaker James Cameron and his Lightstorm Entertainment producing partner Jon Landau explored Disney’s Animal Kingdom yesterday with Tom Staggs, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, and Imagineer Joe Rohde.

“Getting the chance to roll up my sleeves and explore Disney’s Animal Kingdom from the inside out was a phenomenal experience,” said James Cameron. “As I walked through the park, I kept imagining Pandora coming to life all around me and found my mind racing with all the possibilities of what we will be able to create in the years ahead. Disney’s Animal Kingdom is truly a remarkable place and I can’t think of a better home for our first AVATAR experience.”

It’ll be several more years before Avatar Land opens.
