Hi Robin!
Welcome to planDisney.
Thank you for sending us this question. I know that planning a vacation to Walt Disney World is very exciting, but it can also be overwhelming.
Promotional brochures and DVDs are no longer mailed out to Guests, but we do have many other resources to help you. Have a look through our
Video Library on our planDisney website. Many of our panelists are there to provide lots of useful hints and tips in a wide selection of videos. Browse through them and select all those that will be useful for your vacation. There are also unofficial Walt Disney World Resort videos to be found on YouTube. Also, I always recommend that you search planDisney.com for the answers to any questions you may have. If you can't find the information you are looking for, please send us some more questions!
Park Guide Maps are a really useful resource, so when you are enjoying your vacation pick up your maps at any Guest Relations or the entrance to every theme park. The Welcome Center at Disney Springs keeps a supply of all the park maps, and those for the water parks too. You can see a copy of every park map here:

I also recommend you have a good look around the official website where you will find so much useful information online.
Please come back and visit us again if you have any further questions, you can also
send me a direct question if you wish. We are always happy to help you plan your magical vacation at Walt Disney World, and keep your eye on the Disney Parks Blog for all the latest official news on events that may be happening during your stay.
