Gimme a little intro there, Gomer.

Friday was the last showing for the Country Bears as we know them. Now, we look ahead to what they have planned for us later this year. Our panel shares fond memories of the original show and predicts what will be in store for the bears when the Country Bear Musical Jamboree takes the stage.

Over at Disneyland, the Lunar New Year celebrations are now in full swing. We will share thoughts on all the offerings, including the new Turning Red meet and greet taking place just for this event.

Also, in Anaheim, Disney announced that they will commit to spending $2.5 Billion with DisneylandForward. This will be for new hotels and park attractions that could include offerings based on “Black Panther,” “Coco,” “Frozen,” “Zootopia,” “Tangled,” “Peter Pan,” “Toy Story,” and “Tron.”

As part of the possibilities for Disneyland and Walt Disney World, ‘Avatar’ Producer Jon Landau visited Walt Disney Imagineering to ‘Talk About Future’ last week. We’ve already heard hints that a Pandora experience is in development for the West Coast, and it could mean expansion or at least changes to Pandora at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

We’ll also look at the full list of food and beverages coming for Celebrate Soulfully 2024 to Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort, catch up on the Pixar Place Hoytel as it prepares for its Grand Opening, discuss the latest passholder perks for both resorts, and another edition of “It Came from the Parks!”

Join us for all of this tonight on ParksCenter!
