Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If staying at a Disney resort, take advantage of early entry to avoid peak Genie+ crowds.

βœ“Consider the value of Genie+ based on how often you visit; frequent visitors may find less value in the paid system.

YouTube Video Description↓

Join us for another episode of ParksCenter! Each week, we cover the top stories in Disney Parks news, and discuss the topics that are top of mind for the Disney community. In this episode, we start with a discussion about Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser news. Over the past week, a video showing a preview was pulled by Disney because of negative responses. Many people have now canceled their reservations for this premium experience, and now bookings are once again available as early as March. Was this due to reactions from the video, or people trying to bail before the 90 day window? We'll discuss it! Then, we go Around the Hub and talk about Disney Parks news, starting with Disneyland and the return of entertainment announced for 2022 including Fantasmic, World of Color and the Main Street Electrical Parade! We also got a look at the new changes to Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin and we're excited about Candy Cane season in the parks! And we wrap up our show with a long-form discussion of the Genie, Genie+ and Lightning Lane launch in California. We'll talk about the opening day failures, the differences from the Florida version and overall thoughts on the system and its future. All this and more, tonight on ParksCenter!
