Welcome to the latest edition of Ears the News Brought to you by our friends at WDWMagic.com Beginning October 16, 2018, Walt Disney World will launch a new vacation planning site to help guests purchase date-based tickets. Disney's date-based ticket-pricing is making the ticket purchasing process more complex than it was, and the company is keen to try and make things as easy as possible for guests.
