Each week, we cover the top stories in Disney Parks news and discuss the topics that are top of mind for the Disney community.
Welcome to ParksCenter on WDWNT.TV! We’re back with more news and discussing the latest happenings in Disney and Universal Parks. Join us live at 9pm ET!
We’re catching you up on a week’s worth of Disney Parks news! In this episode, we’ll discuss the bear that brought Magic Kingdom to a grinding halt, an injury that was reported on Tron Lightcycle Run, and how things went with the first AP and DVC previews for Journey of Water inspired by Moana.
Then, some big things happening across all the parks this week, such as the return of trams to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT after more than 3 years! Also, 5 months after the end of the 50th Anniversary, the 50th icons are being removed from the character statues that appear across the parks.
Over in EPCOT, they have begun the 100 Years of Wonder celebration which brings a new AP magnet, new treats, and more food booths to the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival.
Finally, in our weekly discussion, our panel will share their stories, experiences, and opinions on the closing of the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser as the final sailing ever happens this week. Spoilers ahead, as we go deep into the details that made this such a special experience that will be missed. 🙁

I'd love to know if the George Lucas you met on the Star Cruiser was the same one we met at Star Wars Celebration III — no, not the one with the Q & A session, this was someone else who was a near-perfect dead ringer!
Thoughts on the Starcruiser? If you went, what did you think? What do you think is next for this space?
I was someone who was planning for 2024 & then got shut out of the final bookings…. I really hope Disney brings this back in some form/fashion. From what I have seen, everyone who has done it thinks it should come back at the same level. I understand that, because the experience is so great. But I really do want to see it have more options available, so a broader audience can experience part of this magic. So I love the idea of Full cruises some of the time mixed in with days where it could just be hotel/show experiences.
I was lucky to have gone on two cruises, the second was thanks to one of the springtime discounts. I’m so sad it’s going away. My biggest frustration is that Disney didn’t do much to let the audience know what this was, and why it cost what it did. If you went, you understood. This would have been the perfect subject for a Disney+ BTS type show. I know it was important to protect spoilers, but they should have done something more. Word of mouth just couldn’t sell something this expensive.
I saw Tarzan Rocks a few times, the inline skaters were great.
I thought guardians and black panther were not part of the Universal contract for Marvel at WDW
The
Monorail is a Disney attraction lol it always breaks down like all the other rides hahahaha
I forgot to mention that during the final scene when Rey shows up and Lt. Croy orders the stormtroopers to fire on Rey, I started screaming, “You can’t shoot the supreme leader’s girlfriend!!!” 😂❤
There is already a Wild West Patk…called Westworld..and I hear its killer.
Took a period of two days, but I finished up the last half hour watching this with my morning stretching. What a delight, I love me some, "Park Center." Best way to keep informed, and the personal stories and pictures, awesome. Ron and the ladies in panel are so fun to watch. 😁Yes very rare pictures indeed. 😏I do regret not doing the Star Cruise… It didn't last as long as I needed to wear my husband down to go with me. 🤑But I can feel the joy of all of you in the panel that went. Thank you for sharing. 😊
