Disney World Permanently Closes Pandora’s ACE Avatar Maker After Eight Years

The facial-scan action-figure station shut on October 1 following months of discounts that signaled waning demand.

Overview

  • Located inside Windtraders at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the experience let guests create personalized Avatar figures using facial scanning with about an hour for fabrication.
  • On-site reporting found the space curtained off and the scanning device absent, and cast members told reporters the offering would not return.
  • Disney has not issued a detailed public comment on the removal as of the latest reports.
  • Prices were cut in 2025 from $79.99 to $50 after low uptake, underscoring the program’s declining popularity.
  • The closure lands as Disney advances a new Pandora for Disneyland Resort with work expected in 2026, while similar customization programs like TRON Identity have also seen discounts.
