We update you on all of the big things happening in the Disney Parks each week! We cover the top stories in Disney Parks news and discuss the topics that are top of mind for the Disney community—all in 60 minutes! Join us live and chat along at 9 p.m. ET.
We’ve been off for a couple of weeks, but we’re back and ready to catch up on all the latest Disney Parks news!
We begin with a new segment called “ParksCenter Rewind” where our panel discusses some of the things we’ve missed while we’ve been away. From manatees to Super Bowl MVPs, a lot went down!
Next, we’ve noticed a lot of things being fixed and refurbished across Walt Disney World. From little Disney details like Nipper wagging his tail again, to the updated projector at Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin – in this week’s “Maintenance Report,” We will discuss what’s fixed and what’s still broken.
Then, as the Festival of the Arts comes to a close at EPCOT, we’ve already begun to see signs of the next fest – Flower and Garden! With a new kids play area, the butterfly pavilion, and topiaries being installed – we will look ahead to what’s in store for us at the next big event.
Meanwhile, the Disney California Food and Wine Festival is also starting soon. We’ll show you a few of the menu items, talk about the value of the Sip and Savor pass, and see what other offerings are coming.
In one of our bigger discussion topics of the week, we’re talking about the cost of a Disney Vacation. The Wall Street Journal has published an article that examines the fear that Disney vacations are now out-priced for many families due to rising costs — an issue that some in the company are concerned about. We have panelists from all different viewpoints ready to share their thoughts. Join the discussion live!
Also this week, we heard a rumor that Disney Vacation Club’s Lakeshore Lodge at Walt Disney World is rumored to have extensive pool offerings including a lazy river. And over in Frontierland at Magic Kingdom, the new DVC Lounge is shaping up as well. However, we also heard that the base prices for several Disney Vacation Club (DVC) resorts rose by between $5 and $35 per point when purchased directly from DVC. Are the “perks” worth the price?
No More Virtual Queue? Disney announced this week that a standby queue will now be offered for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and for Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind starting next week. They’re already putting plans in place to handle the crowds for rope drop. Are you excited? Or do you prefer the virtual queue system?
We’ll also be discussing changes to outdoor counter service at the Cozy Cone and Woody’s Lunchbox, the latest on the Disneyland 70th celebration, more news on the new “Zootopia: Better Zoogether” show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and give thoughts on the Universal Kids Park opening soon.
