Members of the press are taking in the sights at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla., ahead of Saturday's public opening of Pandora — The World of Avatar.

Disney's Bob Iger gave a welcome, praising director James Cameron's vision.

"Jim Cameron could easily be a Disney Imagineer," said Iger. "With big dreams and bold ideas, with the immense drive necessary to see his visions come true. He does the impossible again, and again, and again. Merging wonderful storytelling with mind-blowing technology."

Iger said he's been able to visit everything at the attraction, located at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park. 

"I don't think the sense of awe and wonder will ever go away for me or any of the guests we will welcome here in the years to come."
