Timeline

  1. 17:07

    Zuri's Sweet Shop

    Grab a sweet treat at Zuri's Sweet Shop in Harambe Market. The African-inspired flavors pair well with the adventure theme, and it’s a quick 7-minute walk from the ride entrance.

    Avatar Flight of Passage

    Head to Avatar Flight of Passage. You have time to ride, but the real goal is to step out onto the Pandora bridge afterward. The sun will be low in the west, casting long shadows and golden light across the bioluminescent plants and floating Hallelujah Mountains.

  3. 18:07

    Royal Anandapur Tea Company

    Walk 7 minutes to Royal Anandapur Tea Company in the Asia section. Order a warm Eastern tea to settle in as the park transitions into night. The quiet atmosphere offers a calm contrast to the earlier thrill.

Local tip

The sun sets toward the WSW on this date, so the view from the Pandora bridge is perfectly lit during the golden hour window. Check the route back to your hotel or next destination.
