Lara,
Thanks for sending your question to planDisney!
Disney does not send out park information or planning DVDs any longer, but what they do offer is a wide array of online tools to help with the planning process. My favorite is planDisney, of course!
While clearly that is not the answer you were hoping for, I do find the other tools really can help. The
My Disney Experience system serves as the 'home base' for your planning. As you discover what you want to do, you can start logging it all in there. Of course when you are finally immersed in the magic at the Walt Disney World resort, the
My Disney Experience App puts all that information and planning at your fingertips.
But you are looking for more help, I bet. First, the
Vacation Planning page is a great place to start. It really captures the core planning topics that most of us find challenging. Next, I am someone who likes to have the printed park maps all spread out in front of me when I am helping someone plan their days. While the interactive resort map on the website is fantastic for getting a feel for where everything can be found, I also print out the individual park maps. You can find them for the
Magic Kingdom Park,
EPCOT,
Disney's Hollywood Studios, and
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park by clicking on the guide map link at the bottom of their respective web pages.
SOLUTION TIME!
So it is a 'no' to a DVD. But I have an alternative suggestion. If you would want to
start writing directly to me with your series of questions on your planning journey, I am glad to keep track of what we have chatted about, and we can come up with that magical journey together! Start by letting me know about your traveling party, when you want to visit, and a bit about what you want to get out of the trip. From there we can discuss hotel options, park preferences, ticket selections, and the fun stuff; what to ride and where to eat! Does that sound like a plan?
Have a Magical Vacation!
Doug
