WATCH PARKSCENTER — EPCOT Announcements, Tiana's Bayou Adventure Testing, and More Disney Guests Gone Bad

Join us live tonight, Sunday, March 24th, at 9:00 p.m. ET, or watch ParksCenter anytime on WDWNT.TV.

We are updating 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.

After testing the ride with water dummies, Imagineers were the first to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom this past Friday.

This week, we have much to discuss! Disney has finally announced an opening last piece of the EPCOT reimagining. Communicore Hall will open this June, and there will also be an Encanto Sing-Along as part of its debut. This timing works well with a National Geographic special airing in April called “EPCOT Becoming.” Will they mention the delays, The downfall of Harmonious, or the canceled projects like Mary Poppins?

Also, it was released that Disney Springs will have a Summer drone show, “Disney Dreams That Soar.” While Disneyland Paris has enjoyed some amazing drone experiences, and Universal has been testing some for a new show, there haven’t been too many for Disney domestic parks. We’ll talk about why.

Over at Magic Kingdom, Imagineers were spotted ride-testing at Tian’s Bayou Adventure. With all the other Summer announcements about Disney World, why was the opening of this attraction left out? Are we still too far away from an opening date?

And, there were many returning offerings and effects across both Disney World and Disneyland in the past few weeks. The Barrel Bridge returned to Tom Sawyer Island, Donald’s Duck Pond returned to Toontown in California, Wonderous Journeys show is back at Disneyland, and many other small things have been fixed or returned to the parks. Is this a new initiative or are they just getting ready for a busy Summer season? Either way – we love to see it!

Finally, we will have our favorite segment, “It Came from the Parks,” where we talked about all the wild stories coming from WDWNT.com in the past week from the parks when guests do some strange and sometimes horrific things. Each member of the panel will pick one of the stories and discuss it!

Join us for all of this tonight on ParksCenter!
