Lela,
Thanks for asking your question to planDisney!
Yes, you absolutely can get PDF versions of the 4 theme park maps, straight from the Walt Disney World website. I love having the park maps printed out ahead of time so that my family and I can plan out our days. I know exactly where you can find them to download, print, and start that fun planning process!
Printable versions of the actual in-park maps for the
Magic Kingdom,
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 the 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 keep scrolling, and you will find the correct link. When you do, after clicking on it the site will open up to a new browser tab with the PDF of the actual park map currently being handed out, including the park legend and other timely information.
BONUS TIP #1Printable maps are also available for
Disney Springs, and the two water parks,
Disney's Blizzard Beach and
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon, though their map links are closer to the top of their pages.
BONUS TIP #2If you grab the PDFs and then print them out right away, the maps could be hard to read as the scale of the map is not ideal for a standard sheet of printer 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!Doug
