Overview
- The Walt Disney World homepage, which rolled out Thursday, moved its room-and-ticket search from an overlay on the hero image to a module below with separate Hotels & Packages and Tickets & Passes tabs.
- The top navigation was reduced to four core categories—Parks; Tickets & Passes; Places to Stay; Dining—plus a My Plans entry to give users a shorter, more focused menu.
- The visible update so far is limited: most interior pages still use the prior design while a handful of content pages, notably restaurant menus, have adopted simplified layouts and tabbed meal-period views.
- Features Disney previewed on June 1—flexible date-range search, side-by-side resort comparisons, AI-generated resort summaries, and a pricing/availability calendar—are not yet active on the site.
- The redesign uses a translucent, frosted-glass visual style widely compared to Apple’s Liquid Glass, and the company has presented the rollout as an iterative, multi-month process that could change how guests find and book trips online.
