This is a relaxing ride. Its pretty cool with the bioluminescent plant life. The shaman animatronic is AWESOME. This ride however is not worth a long wait.
Pros:
relaxing ride, Cool scenes, Great AnimatronicCons:

But a bad ride but not worth a long wait.
Pros:
Calm rude for the whole familyCons:

Treat this like an E-ticket and you'll be disappointed. Treat this as an evolution of the classic Disney dark ride/boat ride and you'll be blown away. Easily the most immersive attraction Imagineering have added to WDW in decades, Na'avi River Journey is exceptional and a massively underrated experience.
Pros:
The immersion and theming is amazing, the animatronic at the end has to be seen to be believed. Has every chance of being considered as iconic as Pirates/It's A Small World in the near future. Love the smell and the atmosphere. Perfect in length, has to be ridden multiple times to pick up on all of the effects.Cons:
Add a moderate sized drop and a splash of tension and this would have rivalled Flight of Passage. Probably too slow-paced for the majority of modern-day Disney tourists.Reviewed by rahbekah Review Date: 07/22/2021

I actually liked this one! Is it slow? Yes. Is it exciting? Maybe not. But the technology is incredible, and this experience is really beautiful overall.
Pros:
Technology, amazing animatronic, music is great, smells wonderfulCons:
Not worth a long line (wouldn't wait longer than 45 minutes for it), slow, not thrillingReviewed by YodaBest3521 Review Date: 07/06/2021

There are three things that make this ride interesting 1)Shaman animatronic 2)Bioluminescent plants 3)THE MUSIC. When it got to the end of the ride and the music swelled, I got the feels. However, this ride is short and a lot of the "action" takes place on screens. Everyone should go on this once, but otherwise, it is a pass unless the wait time is low.
Pros:
Shaman animatronicCons:

This is one of the most gorgeous rides in the parks! This ride is a great representation of Pandora at night, and it is so relaxing! The animatronic is so impressive that I thought it was an actor the first few times I rode, and the ambiance is just stunning! I definitely think that you would have more of an appreciation for this ride if you are a fan of the film (personally I am not). I think there are some magical touches in this ride like the woodsprite (the jellyfish like floating creatures that look like dandelion seeds) and the six-legged frogs jumping on the leaves. I think that this ride is no where in comparison to FOP, but I think that this is a beautiful Avatar based ride that can be enjoyed by the whole family.
Pros:
Relaxing, beautiful, detailed and impressive animatronic!Cons:
Wait times can get long. This ride is not like Flight of Passage so don’t expect it to be!Reviewed by SondheimGod Review Date: 06/24/2021

So this is a neat ride. It's one we call in my family "one and done." It's a ride you must do while at the parks but only have to do it once. The Shaman is incredible but the rest of the ride is... generic dark ride. Too many screens for my taste.
Pros:
Nice and cool on hot days. Normally low wait time. Young kids like it. THE animatronic.Cons:
No real story to it. No excitement factor.Reviewed by PinkLady2122 Review Date: 05/05/2021

Depending on what time you get on it, I enjoyed it for its calm scenery and the slow moving boat. It makes you feel like you are transported into a different world of peace.
Pros:
Calming and nice break.Cons:

This ride totally fits the vibe of Animal Kingdom. Such a relaxing boat ride with great immersion. Feels like you are really in Pandora. Animatronic is really cool. No drops, so your whole family can ride. The wait time can get quite long, you must ride it at least once.
