Hey Linda and welcome to planDisney. I love it when our West Coast family flies out to Walt Disney World Resort on the east side. August is going to be a blast. Just a heads up, the weather in Central Florida is just a little bit different than in California so make sure you stay hydrated while you are visiting Mickey and the rest of the gang.
Walt Disney World Resort no longer sends out GUIDEMAPS in the mail to Guests. They have enhanced the technology through the
My Disney Experience Mobile app to allow you to have all information in the palm of your hand at any place and at any time. If you have not downloaded the app, take some time to do so and create an account to put the Magic of the Mouse in your palm.
If you are a paper person, love having a map in your hand, and do not want to use your digital device to guide you through the theme parks, then I have included links to printable GUIDEMAPS for all six theme parks and Disney Springs.

I would be happy to help.
Linda, enjoy making many Magical Memories.
