In the category of little changes possibly signifying bigger ones to come, Disney has changed the wording on its website’s Park Pass Availability Calendar.

No statement has been issued yet by Disney explaining the reasons for the altered terminology on its Park Pass Availability Calendar, but they could mean more changes to come for the Disney Park Pass ticket system overall.
