Disney World has rolled out an exciting price cut for one of its unique attractions, the ACE Avatar Maker experience, located in Pandora—The World of Avatar. This newly discounted price is now set at $50, offering a $30 saving from the original price of $79.99. It allows more guests to take part in this creative activity and enjoy the magic of customizing their very own Na’vi figure. With Disney World’s expansive attractions, this discount could make the experience more accessible and appealing to visitors looking for interactive and memorable activities during their stay.
The Avatar creation process at Disney World functions as a blend of technology and artistry. Guests begin their experience by sitting in a designated area where cast members conduct a scanning process to capture their likeness. This involves choosing various customization options, including different hair types, eye colors, and distinctive stripe patterns to make the Na’vi figure uniquely theirs.
Once guests have made their selections, the figure takes about an hour to “grow” and be completed. This means that while guests await their personalized Avatar, they are encouraged to explore more of Pandora or enjoy other attractions within the park. The process is designed to be immersive, with guests not just walking away with a product, but with the satisfaction of having been actively involved in creating something special.

Those familiar with Disney World’s offerings may recognize similarities between the ACE Avatar Maker and the lightsaber creation experience at Savi’s Workshop in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Both experiences provide an opportunity for guests to immerse themselves in the creation of customized items.
However, it’s worth noting that the Avatar creation experience may be perceived as slightly less immersive than crafting a lightsaber. The level of interaction and storytelling involved in creating a lightsaber often draws guests into a deeper connection with the story and the personal significance of the item.
Interestingly, the TRON Identity Program, another custom action figure experience found at Magic Kingdom, has recently undergone a price reduction similar to the ACE Avatar Maker. This evidence of budget-friendly adjustments raises questions about the overall visitor interest in these experiences.
The recent discounts could stem from various factors, but one theory points towards the possible unpopularity of both the ACE Avatar Maker and the TRON Identity Program. While these experiences garnered initial excitement following their respective openings, interest tends to decline over time as guests seek new attractions and experiences.
Disney’s decision to lower the prices may be part of a strategic marketing initiative aimed at reinvigorating interest among guests. By making these experiences more affordable, Disney World is encouraging visitors to try their hand at crafting their own custom figures, which could help renew enthusiasm around these attractions.
