Well, we all have bad days, right?! Apparently, it was not a good day for the massive Shaman animatronic at the popular Pandora attraction called Na'vi River Journey in Disney's Animal Kingdom. A rider caught a video of the animatronic malfunctioning (or what looks like sleeping!) on the job.

Looks like a rough day for the Shaman of Songs! The video was posted on January 31. We're happy to say today, February 1, Na'vi River Journey is accepting guests which is a good sign Disney has awaken the Shaman.

I'm a Disney nerd! A kid at heart who loves the magic and memories of Walt Disney World. I follow all things Disney and enjoy the vacations, day trips, and weekend getaways, and geek out over the planning of such events. My goal is to experience as many Disney desserts and cocktails as possible! Married to another Disney nerd and blessed with a daughter and son, we thoroughly enjoy the magic at Disney and are here to help others experience the magic as well.
