Hi Robin!
I can completely understand the excitement of anticipating a Walt Disney World vacation! While the planning DVDs and maps are no longer mailed out, I have a few tips for you!
First, make sure to check out the
Walt Disney World Vacation Planning guide. This is a great first place to start because the guide is chockfull of information on the
resorts, theme parks,
ticket options, and much more.
Secondly, for great videos on vacationing at Walt Disney World, check out the
planDisney video library. You can find some great planning tips for the parks, restaurants, and must-dos! These videos are sure to get the grandkids excited about their upcoming trip.
Lastly, you can find the
maps of the parks, resorts, and
Disney Springs online. These maps are interactive, which is great for finding specific attractions or locations. However, if you prefer to have printable maps, you can find them online. I will provide links to each of the theme park maps below. You can send these to your local print shop to have them printed on large paper.

EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays. Your grandchildren will love seeing the beautifully decorated Christmas trees and taking a cookie stroll through World Showcase!
I hope you have a magical vacation!
Magically,
