Hi Michael!
Welcome to planDisney.
I prefer having a paper copy in my hand, rather than scrolling down my phone, and while both methods have their merits I would always go for paper copies. My Disney schedule is always printed out, multiple times, and placed in every bag, backpack, and pocket I might use on my trips! That way, I know I always have my plans with me, just in case my phone battery gives up. Saying that, I wouldn't be without the My Disney Experience mobile app which is invaluable to use while on the go, exploring park maps, checking waiting times for rides, and booking dining and other fun experiences.
Unfortunately, Park maps or paper brochures are not mailed out to guests, nor can we order a Planning DVD. However, park 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 Theme Park.
There is also a map for the
Disney water parks.
When I am visiting Walt Disney World I like to make a little collection of the guide maps to take home with me as a reference when planning my next trip. If you are visiting Disney Springs, stop by the Welcome Center where you can pick up a paper copy of every guide map, including one for Disney Springs, the four theme parks, and both water parks - Disney's Typhoon Lagoon and Disney's Blizzard Beach.
For some of the best planning tips and advice, please visit our
planDisney Video Library. Here you'll see many of our planDisney panelists sharing their knowledge in short videos and podcasts.
