Shadows are climbing the faces of the majestic floating mountains, while a symphony of crickets and other, less identifiable nocturnal creatures call out into the darkness. The trill of a banshee, the coo of some celestial dove…they are both familiar and unfamiliar, endearing and intriguing. As darkness settles onto every surface, the entire planet seems to take its cue to come alive, radiance emanating from its very core. Bioluminescent flora and fauna emerge from shadowy hiding places, and threads of blue and green light seep through the surface of the hard earth, like veins connecting every moment to the next, every space of time to something greater, something whole and beautiful. (7:00) The heartbeat of Pandora pulses in sovereign rhythm into the night, from the base of the floating mountains in this Swotu Wayä, this “sacred place of song.” A connection between the physical and metaphysical, music cannot be bound by tangible restraints. Here, nature's song is a tranquil ebb and flow that is harmonious and complete, boundless and free. Beneath the stars and the luminous glow of this spiritual space, we are wrapped in an enclave of Magic and light. Welcome to wander as we please through this otherworldly Eden, we amble through trails of the Mo'ara Valley, where wildlife zigzags and climbs over every rock and bridge. The echo of creatures settles into a steady cadence Here, pulling us into a trance that calls us deeper and deeper into the realm of their enigma. (12:45) Then, out of the depths of our lullaby emerges a celestial chorus of voices, a cinematic orchestra that seems to shower from the stars. We have reached the heart of civilization, the gathering place known as Satu'li Canteen. Once a mess hall to feed the expats from Earth who came to live on Pandora, it represents a gift of friendship and a symbol of camaraderie and respect. Both the indigenous Na'vi and the humans can find their cultures reflected Here, in everything from the art and artifacts displayed throughout to the delicious cuisine. (15:14) Still, the night beckons, and our appetites are allayed only by our intensifying curiosity. The rush of a waterfall can only mean that we have found ourselves in the wake of the extraordinary floating mountains. Powerful and somehow reassuring, the majesty of these mountains calls to mind the vastness of the world and all of the natural wonders it holds. Mountains, rivers, lush valleys and endless oceans…our connection to them is as limitless as we desire, their gift to us their presence. In return, we can offer the promise that we will honor and cherish them as the Na'vi people so reverently care for this place they call home. (16:29) As we pass the Alpha Centauri Expeditions' Flight of Passage, we hear the almost robotic inner workings of the operation that brings civilians like ourselves to this planet, to be immersed in its story from the back of a banshee. And while an aerial view of Pandora by daylight is enticing for the bravest and boldest, to be engaged in the crux and soul of this space at nighttime is serenity unlike anything we can experience elsewhere. The delicate hush endures as pathways and bridges reach further into the jungles of Pandora. Our wonder is met by a wave of calm, a sense that the sounds that we hear are friendly, rather than fierce. Somehow, we feel seen by the night, personally covered and protected by its cloak of inky stillness. And as the ethereal bioluminescence is reflected on the faces of those around us, permitting us to see the curious wanderers not so unlike ourselves, we understand. (18:04) The Na'vi have a phrase that serves as a greeting, but that means so much more: “Oel ngati kameie,” “I see you.” Like those we meet under the floating mountain or beside the giant Flasca Reclonada, it speaks not only to someone's physical presence, but their spiritual presence as well. When we see those who come to this place, those who seek the renewal of quiet moments of joy with the zeal and excitement that we do, we recognize something in them that does not need to be spoken in order to be true. (22:45) We see their soul, their insatiable wanderlust, their desire to find Magic in the everyday. Whether Na'vi or human, tangible being or intangible darkness, Magic has the power to connect us in ways that cannot be held or measured. Like the suspension of twilight just before nightfall, like the pendulum caught mid-swing, we are met with a moment of stillness. Here, we can truly see and delight in the spaces surrounding us, the people who share in them With us, and the Magic that binds us together.
Disney's Animal Kingdom has grown on me since its early days; I'd argue it's the most beautiful Disney park in the United States. Its theme has largely remained intact even with the addition of Pandora: The World of Avatar. The one exception is DinoLand, U.S.A.,… Read more... The post 156.

Hello Travelers! Join us this week for a relaxing and meandering stroll through the Pandora - The World of Avatar in Disney's Animal Kingdom. We make multiple stops along the way to take in the incredible soundscape of the Valley of Mo'Ara - pausing by water features (because of course and because there are lots of them in this land), stopping into the Windtraders store, and parking for a bit under the floating mountains to soak up the crowd sounds and the waterfalls. It's a low-key episode, because that's kind of what we do. Tune in and take a trip with us! Look us up at @WalkaboutWDW on Instagram and drop us a note to say hi! Find our producer Josh also on Instagram at @TheSteele.

Satu'li Bowl Recipe from Pandora - The World of Avatar*Recipe from favfamilyrecipes.comHow to Make Satu'li bowlsThough these bowls seem to have a lot of ingredients, the preparation part really isn't that hard. Most of it is mixing marinades/dressings and letting them sit overnight. Here's how to make them:Prepare marinades for chicken and beef and marinate meat (separately) in the refrigerator overnight.Prepare creamy herb dressing and allow to set overnight (this is very important, you want those flavors to combine or it won't taste right)On the day of serving, remove beef from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temp (about 1 hour). Roast at a low temperature for 3-4 hours or until beef has an internal temperature of 130-degrees. Allow beef to rest and then slice into thin slices.Prepare the lo mein noodles and allow to cool (you can serve them warm but they are served chilled at Animal Kingdom).Grill the chicken and dice into bite-sized pieces.Prepare the slaw by making the easy dressing and tossing with carrots and cabbage.To arrange the bowls, place the noodles in each bowl and top with chicken, beef, slaw, and boba balls. Serve with the dressing on the side or over the meat.Ingredients20 ounces lo mein noodlesjuicy boba "popping" balls (for garnish)Slow Roasted Beef3lb beef roast (you won't use ALL the roast, but to make it work for slicing you will want to make the full amount and just use as much as you need)1/2 cup olive oil1/4 cup red wine vinegar3 Tablespoons fresh minced garlic1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning2 teaspoons rosemary1 teaspoon thyme1 teaspoon onion powder1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakeskosher salt and pepper to tasteGrilled Canteen Chicken2 pounds boneless chicken thighs (or chicken breasts)1/4 cup canola oil3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar3 Tablespoons fresh minced garlickosher salt and pepper to tasteCrunchy Slaw1 cup carrots (shredded into matchsticks)1 cup cabbage (shredded)3 Tablespoons olive oil3 Tablespoons white vinegarkosher salt and pepper to tasteCreamy Herb Dressing1 cup mayonnaise1/4 cup water1/4 cup lemon juice1/4 teaspoon ground sumac (see notes above)1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom1/8 teaspoon ground turmerickosher salt and pepper to tasteInstructionsCook lo mein noodles according to package directions. Drain well and allow to cool. Toss in 1 tablespoon olive oil and refrigerate until ready to eat. (see notes above)For the Slow Roasted Beef:Place beef roast in a large Ziplock bag.In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, garlic, Italian seasoning, rosemary, thyme, red pepper flakes, sale and pepper until well combined.Pour mixture over the roast and seal the bag, pressing out as much air as you can and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.When beef has finished marinating, discard excess marinade and place roast in a roasting pan (uncovered). Roast at 200-degrees for 3-4 hours or until internal temperature reaches 130-degrees.Remove from oven and cover with foil and allow to rest for 30-40 minutes.Using a sharp carving knife, slice into very thin slices to serve over your Satu'li bowls.For the Grilled Canteen Chicken:Place chicken thighs in a large Ziplock bag.In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper.Pour mixture over the chicken and seal the bag, pressing out as much air as you can and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.Remove chicken from bag and discard excess marinade.Grill over medium heat until chicken is completely cooked through (165-degrees). Remove from grill and cover with foil. Allow to rest 10-15 minutes.Cut chicken into cubes and serve over Satu'li bowls.For the Crunchy Slaw:Place the shredded carrot and shredded cabbage in a medium-sized mixing bowl.In a small mixing bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.Toss mixture with the carrot/cabbage mixture until well coated.Serve immediately over the Satu'li bowls.For the Creamy Herb Dressing:Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Pulse or blend until well combined.Cover and refrigerate overnight.Note: When you first make the dressing it will have no color to it. After it sets you will notice the natural color from the spices will make it look light green, just like in the park.Assembling the Satu'li Bowls:Divide lo mein noodles between 6 pasta-sized bowls.Add about 1/2 cup chicken and 1/2 cup sliced beef to each bowl (or just divide evenly).Add slaw to each bowl and top with about 2 tablespoons of boba balls.Serve with 1/4 cup creamy herb dressing per bowl (on the side or drizzled over the meat).
Which Walt Disney World audio animatronics are the coolest, according to us? I can almost guarantee there will be no spitting camels on this episode! The Disney theme parks have given us world class audio animatronic figures since the 1960's. Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and the parks around the word are loaded with robotic characters that range from the wildly simplistic Tiki Birds to the amazingly complicated Shaman from Pandora: The World of Avatar. So which of these figures made our Top Ten List? You'll have to listen in to find out!

Disney's Animal Kingdom has held a special place in my heart since 1998. This park marked the first location where I'd ever wear a name tag as a proud cast member in Walt Disney World and to this day I still think of it as my “home park.” I wanted to wait until Pandora: The World of Avatar opened to talk about my official attraction ranking list, and that day has finally arrived. Check out Episode 72: Ultimate Ranking of Animal Kingdom Attractions. Which attraction is my top attraction in all of Animal Kingdom? Which one could I do without?

Disney's Animal Kingdom needed something new. The park hadn't gotten new, big-time attractions since the debut of Expedition Everest and that now goes back more than a decade. So when Pandora: The World of Avatar was announced and called the biggest expansion in the history of Disney's Animal Kingdom, people were skeptical but excited. This week, my friend Johnny Shortsleeve and I take a look at the new land on Episode 70: Live Review of Pandora: The World of Avatar. Stunning. Beautiful. Unexpected. Thrilling. These are a few of the words you'll hear me say on this week's show. Listen in and hear our actual reactions to Pandora: The World of Avatar!

All of that and more is coming up in this episode of the Florida Project.
