I was rewatching the AVPM Turns 10 Livestream from the Homecoming/Black Friday Kickstarter and there was one part where Darren and Joey were talking about audio they recorded for the Disney Parks - Darren had recorded some stuff for Star Tours but he said it wasn't audible, but then Joey said that he recorded a safety spiel for Avatar: Flight of Passage in Disney World that they play in the queue that multiple people have texted him to say "hey you just told me I might be sick on this ride lol"

AND I FOUND IT (at 4:14 in this video)

Avatar Flight of Passage On Ride 4K POV with Queue Disney's Animal Kingd...

[tending-the-hearth]

going on flight of passage is both fantastic and terrible for my mental health

Fantastic because it’s the best experience ever and i get emotional bc what do you mean I’m flying on an ikran and getting to see Pandora with the avatar soundtrack and i get to see Payakan???

Terrible because it only enhances my need to be part of the avatar world and live on pandora forever and i KNOW it’s impossible and it makes me sad

[poetichibiscus]

this isn’t a ride this is a spiritual experience

I’m gonna say something real cringe.

Videos and propaganda under the cut!

Avatar: Flight of Passage: WDW Animal Kingdom

Propaganda:

"This ride genuinely blew my breath away the first time I rode it and it was just as magical the next times (if you can get over the ridiculously long wait times... Which I mean are well deserved at least)"

"I’ve actually never ridden this one but I find its existence fascinating"

tbh in a game that is intentionally bland or visually unappealing to aesthetics, people trying to push the limits to make something hyper-realistic and attractive is the ugliest thing you can possibly do

I don't know how to get this to Disney but if enough people see it and like it and bug Disney about it maybe they'll listen.

Disney is basically taking away their das pass which is an accommodation for disabled people who can't stand in line so they basically get a virtual cue and they can go sit and then just come back an hour or however long the line is later. They are removing this feature for everyone that isn't "severely" autistic. Because people are "abusing" it.

instead of doing that I think they should make virtual cues standard. The reasons Disney doesn't want to do this are:

1. if there's no one standing in line The parks would be very full,

2. They want money specifically they want to sell their lightning lane passes, so they are trying to get disabled people to buy their lightning light passes

3. The disabled people basically get to go in the lightning lane pass and they're making it too long for lightning Lane users.

Solution for problem 1 if no one has to stand in line turn the area where the lines are into waiting areas, interactive experiences, stores, cafes, restaurants, give people places to be and the place won't feel overcrowded cuz there will be just as much space as there was before.

Solution for number 2 and 3, have lightning Lanes still but instead of what they do now you have 2 tears one where you wait half of the time everyone else does and one for more money that lets you get on instantly.

Can you imagine a Disney park where instead of a line you check in on your phone go to waiting area where there's themed snacks to buy, interactive games for kids, videos to watch, toys to buy, places to sit, and then after an hour or two youre group is called you wait in a very tiny line with your group and then you get on the ride?

Wouldn't that be a much better experience wouldn't you be more likely to spend more money? What if you could skip waiting and then just get on the ride no line?

Can you imagine getting on the flight of passage, and instead of a line theres 3 waiting rooms, you get to wait in the room with the avatar? You get to sit there, you get to watch the cool animatronic, they could fill it with little science games where you can design your own avatar, or whatever.

Or you could wait in the little jungle zone or you can sit and enjoy the flora, buy some snacks, have an interactive game where these kids can find different types of fauna and if they find all of them they get a badge or something,

Or you could wait in the cave, where you can buy "an ikran to fly on", and the baby ikran shoulder puppets. They could even put a baby ikran animatronic in there.

Then when you get off at the end youre dumped into another store where you can sign up for your next line, and shop all the cool shirts and figures and other plushies, and plants, and what ever else. (Just not the ikrans cause theyre in the other area)

And it wouldn't even take that much effort to remodel most of these lines into waiting rooms. And the ones that would take a lot of effort.. well disney can handle that cant they, they are constantly gutting and remodeling stuff.

Pre!Avatar Way of Water

platonic!jake sully x human!!reader x platonic!neytiri

A child’s imagination knows no bounds. And it especially sees past tall gray walls lined with barbed wire. You were here on this new planet full of life unlike the dead, gray streets of your home planet. Unknown to your young mind that it was dying. Mommy and daddy just told you that you all would be here for a little while while daddy did research. 

You were like the puppy that grew too large and out its tea cup phase. Mommy and Daddy didn’t hug you as much as they used to, had no problem sending their baby so many times into hyperspace you should have been 20 by now. But with each passage they promised their own return with you on the next. Little did they know the effects of traveling so long on a child.

When you were on the foreign planet you were placed under supervision of the scientists given one task: “if the kid goes missing or mixed up with the locals we’ll feed you to them.” 

It was one of the many days when your eyes watched as a scientist carried some plant past you. You loved the plants, they danced and moved around you, like they knew you had no children here to play with. As though someone knew of your lonesome. The scientists would tell you their names that you couldn’t say without getting a tongue twist. But all you knew was they were unlike the roses your father brought your mother. 

You were outside toying with an old ball near the facility that housed the avatars assisting the scientists in carrying large cases and samples. You didn’t like them. They looked more human than na’vi. They didn’t wear the clothes or beads the scientists would pull up to show. 

Your ball landed farther than expected bouncing off the rim, over the fence and into a bush. And as you stumbled as carefully as possible through the gaping hole to your toy a floating seed landed atop the toy and your eyes widened as you leaned forward to eye it. It was beautiful and wispy. It glimmered in the flight and you reached a slow hand to hold it only for it to flutter away. 

The floating seed seems to drift and dance along branches and atop plants, and you follow in a daze, your eyes never lingering or moving from it. And when you stopped for a moment to hop a large branch it waited patiently before continuing to lead you on this journey. 

And with a childish giggle you lept and attempted to catch the glowing plant but it would float just before your hands could brush it. 

You were ignorant to the animals as they watched you with lazy eyes as you stumbled through the forest. One of them even helped you to climb the large tree it landed on. It was giant, sleek and black. Like a giant puppy. Its tongue lapped at your cheek and you squealed, rewarding it with the most gentle scratches behind the ears which made it huff and bark. 

It lowered itself onto the ground and you climbed atop its back and with its help stopped onto the first nook that led you up many of the steps which you climbed after thanking the puppy which barked back and trotted into the bushes. 

The tree was large. Unlike any you’d climbed back home. Its roots were large and many, and it was filled with more avatars. But these ones looked nicer, more friendly. Less human. These were the na’vi. You understood bits and pieces, but you were old enough to know a human child was the one thing that stuck out like a sore thumb.

But you were small and nimble enough to stick to the more shadowy thick parts that hid your figure till you found yourself hidden in a large tent.  Everything was slightly larger in proportion to your body but it didn’t matter. Your young mind told you to just touch and explore everything and anything. And from the looks of it you were in the tent of someone special by how much stuff was in it and the shiny pretty things as well.

So you toyed with the bow and arrows and when your eye caught the glint of beautiful beds you dropped the weapon in favor of rummaging through the box holding up a bracelet cooing at how it glinted in the light. You piled them on your arms and continued your venture deeper until a large rumble ended your fun. 

It was lunch time. 

But home was so far, and from the smell of what was sitting by the fire you knew in an instant you’d like that much more than the icky food they served for the soldiers. And so you carefully reached into the wooden bowl for the chunk of bright fruit which made your lips purse as you threw it into the fire, “too bitter!”

The one next to it had what looked like meat and you took a small piece and chewed slowly before once again spitting it into the fire, “spicy!”

You huffed and puffed, shoving the fruit in the next bowl in your mouth letting a hum as you sank into the ground eating another piece. It was just right. Tangy like a mango but savory as well. You ate one after another until none remained and your eyes felt heavy. 

And so your tired eyes for anything to turn into your nap pile. Your fingers caressed coarse blankets which you threw down, a blanket woven with a fabric that was just too heavy and then you found it! 

It was woven with such love and it was not too soft or too stiff, it was perfect! And it was double your size just enough for you to bunch it up and still have some to cover your body in the little area where you slumbered peacefully. 

Unknown to the sleeping child the inhabitants of said tent had just returned. Ole’ , Jake Sully, ran a tired hand down his face as he sat his bow among his other weapons while his mate entered from behind hissing and spitting about the human raid they quickly silenced.

He soothed his mate as best as he could, gathering her in his arms and pressing his forehead to her own as he placed his hands to her swollen stomach. And as she stared over his shoulder taking in his comfort her sharp eyes noticed the open box containing her beads.

“My Jake…” he hummed as she whispered into his ear, “someone is here.” And immediately his arms tensed as his eyes flitted about the tent, his ears moving in every direction, listening. He could hear someone breathing and that’s when he saw the blankets shift.

“My left, your right. No sudden movement, act normal.” She breathed sharply through her nose and moved away and made her way to the box, carefully picking up the missing pieces of jewelry. 

And Jake slowly moved to the bundle of blankets, hand on his knife’s hilt slowly crouching behind and catching his mates eye as she raised her own weapon, waiting for his word. And switfly he yanked the blanket to reveal, 

“ A child?” Neytiri quickly lowered the bow now kneeling in front of the sleeping girl who rolled over, a pout upon her face as her hands fisted the blanket. 

“How did she make it in here?” Jake tilted his head, shaking it in thought.  You were so small. You couldn’t have possibly been brought on that raid. And there was no way a human child could have gotten in without some help. 

“How she entered is not the problem. Who’s looking for her will be the problem.” Neytiri hissed softly. A search party would surely be sent soon as word of your disappearance was made known. But that can wait, because now you are waking up. 

Your eyes slowly blunk open up at the disappearance of your comfort to be met with two large blue figures crouched in front of you, speaking amongst themselves. Now any normal child would have yelled and screamed in terror, had they not been exposed to the local life on the planet. You however, are far from normal and softly cleared your throat to speak up.

“Ex…excuse me” your broken na’vi interrupted the pair who looked at you in wonder. “Blanket..please” you held your hands out. 

Silence fell and Jake looked to the piece he held in his hands and handed it for you to cover yourself back up, the beads clanking on your arms Neytiri eyed and you bashfully rolled them off of your wrists holding them out to her. 

“Sorry….pretty.” Neytiri rarely flustered easily but as she took the jewelry back she couldn’t hold but hold your smaller hands for a moment. Her fingers caressing your small palm which slipped from her grasp as you rearranged the blankets to cocoon you. 

“You speak pretty well kid” Jake huffed and you gaped up at the older man pouting at him.

“Why didn’t you tell me you could speak english” and Jake let out another huff of laughter gently pinching one of your puffy cheeks between his fingers smiling fondly at your pouting face.

“Cause you didn’t ask kid. But I have a question for you. How’d you get here? You’ve gotta be much taller to climb the steps and you're a long way from home.”

You hummed softly looking up in thought then looked back into his eyes “mom and dad bring me here for business. Because the earth is sick. But daddy doesn’t really have time for me and momma is back on earth with him because they’re gonna come back together next time!”

“And how many times have you been here, little one?” Neytiri spoke up. 

“I think this will be my fourth time! Momma and daddy will be coming next time though” you nodded to yourself. And Jake couldn’t help the way his gaze softened and his ears drooped slightly. You could have been an adult by now. And Neytiri noticed this shift in her mate's behavior because she reached forward and tucked the blankets around your body, cupping your face with his larger palm. 

“Rest now child. You had a long journey today and must be very tired.” You nodded and let your eyes close as she slowly removed her hand from your face. Her thumb brushed over your cheeks and gently pushed the coils that tickled your cheeks. 

“How could they do this to her?” Had you been any other child she would have had you dropped back off where you were found. But Neytiri wasn't surprised. If humans could destroy their own planet whose to say their interactions with one another weren’t just as destructive? But you were so pure. How can anyone possibly do this to an innocent child? 

“I don’t think they’ll be looking for her.” Jake shook his head. Who knows what affects your constant travels to the moon could have on you. You were so young and if his assumptions were correct, they were abandoning you here. 

“She sent her here.” Neytiri perked up watching as the seedling fluttered to lay on your hand. And Jake watched too as it fluttered away. Who was he to deny the deity that spared his life and gifted him another? She was doing the same for you.

I just went on the Avatar: Flight of Passage ride for the first time…

How do they expect me to NOT spiritually ascend to a far away planet filled with 10 foot tall blue aliens after that??
