Hello, John, and welcome to planDisney! It sounds like you're starting to plan a vacation to Walt Disney World Resort. Congratulations!
While Disney is no longer mailing printed materials to Guests, I'll be happy to tell you how you can find everything you need to plan a magical Walt Disney World vacation online. The best place to begin your Disney vacation planning is
disneyworld.com/tomorrow. On this page you can explore all four theme parks, browse through a
vacation planning guide, and even discover current
resort packages.
Guide maps for each theme park can be found online right on the park's homepage. For example, visit
Magic Kingdom Park's homepage and scroll down until you see a link for
Guest Services on the left. Next to this link you'll find a blue arrow and a
Magic Kingdom Guide Map link. Click that link and the current park map will open up. Please keep in mind these maps change throughout the year, especially with the seasons and special events.
Another resource for Disney vacation planning is right here on
planDisney.com! Not only can you search for questions on our homepage, our
Panel Extras page is also FULL of extra vacation planning advice. Earlier this year, the planDisney Panel took time to share
21 Tips for Your Walt Disney World Resort Vacation and our personal
Best Tips for Selecting a Resort. We've also shared recommendations on what to order at some of our favorite Disney dining spots. Check out
What Would I Order? if you need any help deciding where and what to eat during your time at Walt Disney World.
I would also suggest exploring the official
Disney Parks YouTube channel. There are dozens of video playlists to watch, including "Taking a Disney Parks Vacation" and "Virtual Disney Rides." planDisney has a
Video Library on planDisney.com as well. Be sure to take a look at all of the planning tips and must-dos from my fellow Panelists.
John, please
let me know if I can help you with any other questions as you plan your visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth.
Have a magical day!
Bob
