Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Worldwide is joining forces with acclaimed filmmaker James Cameron to bring the world of Avatar to life at Disney parks.

The 2009 movie Avatar become the highest-grossing film of all time and fans will soon be able to experience Cameron’s fictional planet Pandora for themselves at Walt Disney World in Florida.

Disney plans to build the first Avatar themed land at Walt Disney World within the Animal Kingdom park and the construction is set to begin in 2013.

The project will reportedly cost an amount of $400 million.

“(Disney bosses have the opportunity to) go beyond current boundaries of technical innovation and experimental storytelling, and give park—goers the chance to see, hear and touch the world of Avatar,” contactmusic.com quoted Mr. Cameron as saying.
