At long last, Disney and "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/301495/moviemain.jhtml"]Avatar[/url]" have made the bond.

It's been announced that Disney Parks has partnered up for a long-term creative union with [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/9282/personmain.jhtml"]James Cameron's[/url] Lightstorm Entertainment and Fox Filmed Entertainment to develop the lush world of "Avatar" as part of Disney's Animal Kingdom and Walt Disney World Resort. In other words, it won't be long before you can make face-to-face peace with the Na'vi, and you won't even have to travel to Pandora to make it happen! Catch all of the details [url="http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/"]here[/url].

So now that we know an "Avatar" attraction is bursting its way into reality --— though not until Cameron's back-to-back sequels are in theaters, so still quite a ways away --— what do we want to see from the Disney collaboration? Check out our wish list past the jump!

[b]The Na'vi[/b]
This kind of goes without saying, doesn't it? I mean, if we're diving into an alliance between "Avatar" and Disney Parks, Na'vi are a must. But it's still worth pondering what we'll observe of them in their "natural habitats." Will we see them hunting? Catching Ikran? Making the bond? Pretty sure the kids aren't allowed to see that last part...

[b]Hometree[/b]
It's gone in the films but it doesn't have to be absent from the "Avatar" attractions. A Hometree setup would be incredibly cool for fans to navigate as a go to spot, much like Hogwarts at the [url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/tag/the-wizarding-world-of-harry-potter"]Wizarding World of Harry Potter[/url]. In fact, maybe the destruction of Hometree could serve as a ride of sorts -- though exactly how that would work out without killing thousands of park attendees may prove problematic.

[b]Up Above[/b]
The Hallelujah Mountains of Pandora are some of the coolest features in "Avatar." Can they be replicated in reality? Almost certainly not. Would it be awesome to be proven wrong? You bet!

[b]Under The Sea[/b]
We still don't fully know what the underwater portion of Pandora looks like, but we will by the time the "Avatar" attractions are open to the public. We want an under the sea tour of this alien planet something fierce, and even if we can't get it in reality, at least the theme park could get the job done.

[b]The Unknown[/b]
Speaking of what we haven't seen yet, who knows what we're in store for come the "Avatar" sequels. Cameron must have numerous tricks up his sleeve and stones yet to be turned. So how can we say what we want to see yet? Perhaps it's just too early for a fully fleshed out wishlist, but one thing's for sure: "Avatar" theme park, we (want to) see you.
