Hi Gemma!
Welcome to planDisney.
I am happy to help you! The Little Big Book of Magic is available for download from The Walt Disney Travel Company International -
you can access it here. It's full of useful information and tips, and gorgeous photos! Make this your starting point, and you may not need anything else!
Park guide maps can be printed out at home directly from the Walt Disney World website - available here for
Magic Kingdom Park,
EPCOT,
Disney's Hollywood Studios and
Disney's Animal Kingdom.
We also have many other resources to help you. Many of our planDisney panelists feature in our wide selection of planning videos and planDisney Podcasts in our
video library on the planDisney website. I would start by browsing through them, selecting each one that relates to your forthcoming trip. They are all concise and I am sure you will find all the hints and tips useful, covering topics from the Disney Dining Plan to Thrill Rides. Please search planDisney for the answers to any questions you may have, and if you can't find the information you are looking for, please send us some more questions, and we will give you a personalised answer! There are also some unofficial Walt Disney World Resort videos on YouTube.
When you are enjoying your holiday, Park Guide Maps can be picked up 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 and Disney Springs, too. When I enter the parks, I always collect an extra park guide map to take home and save for when I am planning my next trip!
I also recommend that you take a look around the
Disney Parks Blog for all the latest official news.
We will be happy to help you plan your magical holiday to Walt Disney World Resort!
