>> Eric: When I turned the corner and saw the tent for the first time it was really epic.
>> Disney Tour Guide: This is your tent for the evening.
We got to be the only two people to ever glamp in Pandora. It was absolutely
incredible to have the park all to ourselves. Being given the keys to the kingdom so to speak.
Day and night is totally different with Pandora.
When it goes to night time it's really awe-inspiring you have to see in person to
really appreciate it.
>> Disney Tour Guide: Hello Eric it's a pleasure to meet you and a pleasure to meet you Kelly.
I'll be your tour guide for the evening as we journey in to the land of Pandora.
>> Eric: Our tour guide was really knowledgeable. He knew every little detail.
>> Disney Tour Guide: As you see here, it has been peeled back and held in place by the Na'vi.
>> Eric: You forget that you're on earth and that you're now on this alien moon.
The bioluminescence is lighting up everywhere from the ground to the water.
When it was blowing over the waterfalls it was all lit up.
>> Disney Tour Guide: As we get further into the camps of an Na'vi River.
You're gonna feel a deeper connection with the moon.
>> Eric: We had this experience to ride the Na'vi River ride and
it was just us and nobody else and it was breathtaking.

I'm just like speechless.
>> Kelly: This is amazing.
>> Eric: This is incredible.

Cast Member: Well congratulations, your now proud Banshee owners.
>> Eric: Usually when you're at a park
there's a lot of other people sharing the moment with you.
So to be able to be the only two people on the ride and really learn all the details
was truly truly amazing to see.
>> Disney Tour Guide: So this is a near fully grown avatar not quite
to maturity now do you know how to spot the difference the Navi have four
digits, whereas the avatars have five digits.
>> Eric: You really get ready in your anticipation, your heart starts beating
and it's like wow, I'm really flying on a Banshee.
Flying and actually feeling the Banshee breathe it was exciting, is really amazing.
So what I thought the night was over because the doctor was putting us in the tent.
But then we heard the drums going.
[music - drum beats]
They're playing, really passionately and you really feel connected to them.
Playing the drums is pure joy you become a kid again and really it's just us and the drums and
really just experiencing the joy then magic that we come to love.
[music]
>> Eric: Wow! >> Kelly: How cool!
>> Eric: Disney is a place where I could leave any troubles at the door not think about
it come inside and just really be a kid and be happy and it's a place where
you're not judged really can feel a connection with everybody because
everybody has the same love for the Disney magic.

Millennials are hungry for exclusive one-of-a-kind moments.
So we launched an out of this world experience that money can't buy.
For the first time we put people in the center of a customized
narrative within Pandora the World of Avatar.
Introducing D-Camp.
>> Two people will be chosen to try one night of glamping at Pandora.
>> Narrator: To find our glimmers, we sent out a nationwide call.
People went crazy.
We broke our platform record for submissions
Once our winners were chosen, we worked with Disney writers to build an immersive story around them making
them feel one with the land every part of the experience had a backstory.
Down to the materials used to build the tent when I turn the corner and saw the tent
for the first time it was really epic we got to be the first two people to ever
glamp in Pandora it was absolutely incredible to have the park wall to
ourselves being given the keys to the kingdom so to speak
