Hi, John! Thanks for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
I, too, often like to plan with paper maps on the table, but your only options for accessing Walt Disney World Resort property maps before your visit will be to access them online. Each Theme Park has its own page on the
Walt Disney World Resort website, and you're able to view PDFs of each map from those pages (like
this PDF for Magic Kingdom Park). You can download the PDFs, though, and print them yourself (or do so on larger paper at a local copy/ print shop).
Since Walt Disney World Resort is constantly working to improve its Guests' experiences, they want to make sure Guests always have the most up-to-date maps of its Theme Parks and Water Parks as they plan their vacation. To access the current PDFs, go to "Parks & Tickets" from the
website's home page, choose the Park you'd like to visit, and then click the blue "Guide Map" link directly below the main photo on the page.
Did you know that Walt Disney World Resort is approximately the same size as San Francisco? You can also access an overall view of the entire 47 square miles from the
Walt Disney World Resort website or from the
My Disney Experience mobile app.
Hopefully these links will provide the information you're looking for, John. Please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help as you plan.
Amy
