The official Walt Disney World website has a new look today.

The biggest update is the top navigation bar. It's simpler now, with far fewer items to click through. The menu also has a translucent, frosted appearance similar to Apple's Liquid Glass design style, which debuted on iOS and macOS.

What changed in the navigation

The old navigation bar packed in a long list of links. The new version trims that down to a handful of core categories:

  • Parks
  • Tickets & Passes
  • Places to Stay
  • Dining

Clicking "Parks" opens a dropdown with park pages, things to do, and links to Disney Springs and merchandise. It's a cleaner starting point if you're planning a visit and don't want to hunt through a crowded menu.

Restaurant pages also got an update

The redesign isn't just the homepage, some individual content pages have changed too.

Restaurant menu pages now use a simplified list format. Disney added a tab system so you can switch between meal periods, like lunch and dinner, without leaving the page or scrolling through both menus at once.

Disney has not commented on whether more site sections will get similar treatment, or how this new look for the Walt Disney World website will affect the mobile app.

They have at least engaged some talent with recent website user experience design. I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I hopped on to make some park reservations.
Not to worry, Stitch is still there.
“Welcome to the Walt Disney World website. Please enter your credit card number to continue.”

See how even simpler it could get? They’re leaving money on the table, big mistake here. 😉

Better navigation is a plus. Maybe I’ll peruse the revamped site at some point.
Nothing changed with the actual resort booking process which is still the worst part about the website

Just the landing pages so far, they've still got quite a bit of work to perform to get the rest of the processes aligned with the new theming. I do like the new restaurant menu display.
Mobile Ordering is down system-wide this morning. Should make for a fun day in the parks!
