    How do I get paper park maps prior to my trip?

    Janet,

    Thanks for asking your question to planDisney! It is always great to hear from another Hoosier!

    Unfortunately, Disney does not send out printed paper maps for the parks. You can often find people selling these maps via some online reseller sites, but I don't care to pay someone for something that Disney gives away for free at the parks. 

    But I too prefer to have a printed map of the parks and other venues when planning out my Walt Disney World vacations! While the interactive resort map on the website is fantastic for getting a feel for where everything can be found across all of Walt Disney World, I prefer something printed in hand. The printable versions of the actual in-park maps for the Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park can be found by clicking on the guide map link at the bottom of the respective web pages for each park. You will find that link directly below that interactive map, down at the very end of the principal web page of each park. Note that the "Map" icon at the top of the page just jumps you down lower on that same page and does not open a PDF of a park map. So just keep scrolling, and you will find the right link.

    BONUS TIP #1
    Printable maps are also available for Disney Springs, and the two water parks, Disney's Blizzard Beach and Disney's Typhoon Lagoon. Even a map of the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex is available. For some of these pages, the PDF map link will actually be at the top of the page.

    BONUS TIP #2
    If you grab the PDFs and then print them out right away, the maps will be hard to read as the scale of the map is not ideal for a standard sheet of paper. I recommend downloading the file and doing some quick cropping to get the map to a larger format for easier reading. It may require you to print out the legend on a separate page, but it will make your use of the maps far easier. 

    Please feel free to write me back directly if you have any follow-up questions.

    Have a Magical Vacation!
