Not a problem, it's complicated learning about all these crazy projects and where they're all going! From references to things in Tokyo, Shanghai, Paris, etc. It can be hard to sort through all the info! Luckily for you, you choose an excellent time to be asking questions about this land! Because we've learned more about what it is, and what it'll be like in the past week then what we've learned for the past 4 years!
Here's a brief description:
· Pandora – The World of AVATAR – Disney’s Animal Kingdom guests will journey into the magnificent world of Pandora at this new AVATAR-themed land – a world that includes floating mountains, a bioluminescent forest and the winged creatures known as Banshees, giving guests a transformational experience they will never forget.
o AVATAR Flight of Passage – This E-ticket attraction, the centerpiece of Pandora, allows guests to soar on a Banshee over a vast alien world. The spectacular flying experience will give guests a birds-eye view of the beauty and grandeur of the world of Pandora on an aerial rite of passage.
Sounds fun, doesn't it?
Here's a website with a whole bunch of photos of this new world coming to DAK:

Finally, these videos will give you an in depth idea of what the story surrounding the world will be like:
While Avatar will be great fun when it opens in early 2017, that's not all. It's part of a multi year multi phase expansion/upgrade to the entire park. The Harambe Marketplace has already opened:

With a new nighttime spectacular River of Lights, and a new nighttime Safari coming soon.
· “Rivers of Light” – Expected to open next spring, “Rivers of Light” will be an innovative experience unlike anything ever seen in a Disney park, combining live music, floating lanterns, water screens and swirling animal imagery. “Rivers of Light” will magically come to life on the natural stage of Discovery River, delighting guests and truly capping off a full day of adventures at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
· Kilimanjaro Safaris – This popular attraction will be extended for a new nighttime adventure next spring, where guests will travel through the African savanna amid the magically extended orange glow of the setting sun and discover two species new to the attraction: African wild dogs and hyenas.
Oh, and welcome to the DIS!
