Walt Disney World to Launch New Vacation Planning Site in Feb; Plus a New Muppets Experience?

Posted on by Leave a comment

If you’ve visited the Walt Disney World website lately to create an itinerary for your upcoming Disney vacation, you may have noticed the warnings that the current itinerary planners and favorites tool will be removed during a site update.

Disney Parks has just quietly launched a new website at MYMAGICALDISNEYVACATION.COM which, despite currently showing a splash page with the Tree of Life missing, appears to promise a whole new itinerary planning site beginning February 8.

Continuing to tread the thin line between fact and rumor, we’ve also heard rumblings of something called Muppets Mardi Gras, so be on the lookout for topless pigs.
