Aloha, Elke! Welcome to planDisney!
Your trip is fast approaching and I'm glad to see you're getting a jump-start on planning! I agree with you, Elke, I also like having the information in my hands to help plan out my stay. However, mailed brochures are not currently an option. I do have a few suggestions that might make planning a bit easier and less screen-oriented!
First, there are downloadable versions of the brochures and park maps available online. I will link them below. These can easily be printed, so you have a more tangible way to learn about
Walt Disney World Resort. I like to print these out for my 'Ohana before my arrival. We even go as far as to circle our favorite attractions and use markers to chart our course around the parks! By the time we're all done scribbling, highlighting and marking our favorite territories, it looks like Stitch got ahold of the maps!
Magic Kingdom ParkDisney's Animal KingdomEPCOTDisney's Hollywood StudiosDisney SpringsElke, I also thought I'd mention that your arrival comes just near the end of the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. This is an absolutely beautiful time to visit EPCOT, as nature truly comes to life in the form of giant character topiaries and floral arrangements throughout the park. There are also delicious food and drink offerings at the festival stands in the World Showcase. If you're someone who likes to hold something while you make your way around the park, there are Festival Passports available at special kiosks, most merchandise locations and at all Festival Stands at EPCOT. The Festival Passports show the menus and special offerings available during the festival.
I do hope this helps guide your way in planning your trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth! By the end of your stay, there's no telling how far you'll go!
Until next time,
Ashley
