Stompin’ Gator

Gatorland is adding a new attraction as part of a $2.5 million expansion.

On Wednesday, the park announced the “Stompin’ Gator Off-Road Adventure.”

Stomp buggies will take visitors through mud puddles and over hills on a half-mile course.

The attraction is expected to open by September.

Two-story cabanas

When Volcano Bay opens next month, visitors can add several amenities to enhance their experience.

The water park will offer private cabanas, premium seating and dining plans.

Single cabanas start at $159.99 and can seat up to six people. Larger family suites start at $299.99 and can seat up to 16 people.

Rentals include a mini-fridge stocked with bottled water, complimentary fruit and snack basket and concierge service.

Disney has shared new details about the specialty drinks that will be available at Pandora-The World of Avatar.

One of the drinks that will be offered at Satu’li Canteen is Pandoran Sunrise, a non-alcoholic mix of tropical juices. Select wines and ales are also on the menu.

Additional drinks will be available at Pongu Pongu, the new land’s quick-service stand.
