Where did Disneyworld.com's operational updates go?

[lnsemsf]

I noticed a whole new Disneyworld.com today, and the calender page was completely changed around, and I'm not able to find what rides are going to be closed what days, and what entertainment will be offered when.

Anybody found where things are these days? As anybody who knows me will tell you, I don't deal well with change.

It looks like they're still in the process of installing some things. Right now you can get an overview of all of the park hours for the next 10 days (or any 10 days if you give in the start date).
But the only park with a (semi)working monthly calendar is the Magic Kingdom. You can click on it and it *says* it has park hours, parade times, fireworks, etc, but at the moment it's totally blank.

So I presume as they tweak the site, the information will get added.

Care to give a hint(or direct link?) I just want to keep it bookmarked for my upcoming March trip in case any short closures pop up I can adjust my schedule accordingly. I'm also especially relieved I've not gone completely braindead and they were not right in front of my face the whole time.

Last night I was looking for the calendar to find out the entertainment hours for my trip in April. I thought I was going crazy or blind (or both) and finally gave up and fired an email to WDW about it. It seemed to me that it was a major ommision on the site for those trying to plan their trips. I am glad to hear it wasn't just me and, hopefully, the updates will be available soon.

I've been looking very hard, and I can't find the operational updates on the new website. If they are there, it's a very poor design that hides them. Could you please give specific directions on how to find them on the new site?

We have all the refurbs listed on http://www.wdwmagic.com/news.htm if that helps

That's very helpful and appreciated, and I did know that they are available here, but it still would be helpful to know what the official word is directly from WDW. Also, it's just the principle of the matter that the new website's calendar is very difficult and frustrating to navigate, and it shouldn't be.

Yep agreed.
The new official site seems badly setup for calendar items.

While WDWMAGIC obviously isnt official, we do carry a lot more of the operational refurbs than Disney (previously at least) publish. They will give you the big stuff, but we also list the small stuff (like pools, restaurants etc).

And I like that. Perhaps the list could be updated to include the Fountain of Nations at Epcot. I was looking forward to enjoying its "show," but now I hear it is closed for refurbishment. Any word on how long?
