Hey Stefanie!
Thank you for visiting planDisney! I hope you are staying warm in VA; it has been more than a little too chilly for my liking here in North Carolina. I’m definitely craving some of that Florida Sunshine at the Most Magical Place on Earth.
Walt Disney World Resort is highly committed to positively impacting the environment through
several initiatives, including reducing waste. Unfortunately, Walt Disney World Resort does not currently send or email brochures/paper maps to Guests. They do have several digital options, but I can understand the simplicity and value of paper. I would highly suggest two choices for obtaining paper maps for the parks: printing out your own copies and online resale.
Print Your Own- As Timothy Mouse Dumbo says in Dumbo, “The very things that hold you down are going to lift you up.” Since Walt Disney World has transitioned to digital maps, a magical opportunity has opened up. You can now download copies of the maps at home and print out as many copies as you would like. One of my favorite things to do is download the park maps and get them printed at a local printing shop in poster size. It is easier on the eyes and makes for easy planning. If you like this option, you can find the digital maps for each of the four theme parks here.
EPCOTMagic Kingdom ParkDisney’s Hollywood StudiosDisney’s Animal Kingdom Theme ParkOnline Resale- Sometimes, you just want actual copies from the parks. If you want actual copies of the park maps that are handed out at the parks, you can also order them from an online retailer. Prices range, so I typically don’t utilize this option, but it is available to you.
I hope this was helpful and gave you some good alternatives to park maps being mailed to you.
Happy Planning!
