Hi Julie!
Thanks so much for stopping by to visit us here at planDisney! I'm glad I can help you with your query about park maps! I'm someone who likes to know where I am in relation to attractions and dining experiences, so I love the convenience of a map.
Julie, good news! You do not need a hand-help map to find your way around the Walt Disney World Resort. You can use the
interactive map on the
Walt Disney World website. You can also have a map at your fingertips with the
My Disney Experience App. The location icon at the bottom of the My Disney Experience app shows your exact, real-time location within the parks and resorts, and if you use your fingers to minimize the map, you can see a full map of the Walt Disney World Resort. You can then move the map to the specific area you are searching for, be it a theme park, a specific area of a resort, or Disney Springs, and maximize the map to pinpoint a location. Within the location area of the map, you can also get directions from your location to your destination. Choose a destination, and then click the prompt 'get directions' and it will populate Disney transportation options for your arrival.
My Disney Experience App Tip: On the My Disney Experience app, the directions will allow you to select your mode of transportation, from the monorail, bus, water taxi, or car. You can select your option at the top of the location page.
Hope this helps you plan your magical vacation!
