Get your Navi translator! Pandora merchandise

Oh man, I'm assuming Cast Members are going to have to learn at least a little bit of this language. Those poor college kids.

Cast working Pandora will be learning some Na'vi, but I'm not sure what the extent will be. I think it's really just a few basics (not the 90 that will be included in the translator)

Any word on what the stock answer will be when a guest asks how to translate a word from English to Na'vi but there is no translation?

Haven't heard that much.
I only know a couple of people who will be working Pandora, so it's a very limited source of information

I know a lot of people find this fun, but learning a fictitious language is just so not appealing to me. Why not spend your time and effort learning a REAL language? Where are these translation cards for the countries in Epcot?

It's similar to certain things in the universe of Star Wars, or Potter, or other movie franchises. People like this sorts of things.

I'm guessing that the cast members will be Alpha Centauri employees, not Na'vi or Pandora natives, so they don't need to be fluent.

Yes, I know. It's just one of those fandom things I don't get...

I don't know if this was mentioned...

Here's a fun hypothetical: how many times since the avatar build was announced do you think the movie was played in the home market by "fans"?

Now how many times do you think a Harry Potter or Star Wars was watched?

Avatar hopefully will be a strong addition...but I see that people are starting to let themselves stray toward things that don't exist.

I don't know if there is usually a correlation between free dining in the US and when it is offered to the UK, but just saw the Free Dining offer for UK guests is out:
http://www.disneyholidays.co.uk/walt-disney-world/deals/free-dining-in-2018/040/

- book by July 6th for travel between Jan 1 and Dec 31 2018 ... so not until next year but then the entire year it looks like
- includes Free Dining and a $200 gift card + 14 days for the price of 7 ticket + free breakfast at a value resort + memory maker included

Honestly I don't follow the international deals much - is this offer more than typical? Seems like a good deal

I live in the UK and this is a pretty standard deal for this far out. They've upped the gift card from $100 in early 2017 deal to $200 in early 2018 deal though! 14 days for price of 7 ticket isn't really anything to shout about because they offer it all year. But still pretty good compared to free dining deals in US.

called UO to upgrade my annual pass from 2 parks to 3. They can't do it over the phone for flexpay holders. Have to go to Islands of Adventure to do it. Im assuming if your pass is paid in full you can upgrade over the phone.
