Welcome to planDisney, Elijah!
Elijah, I too am getting ready to kick off the summer season at
the Most Magical Place on Earth so I'm happy to talk with you about how to make the most of your planning. Elijah, while I appreciate all of the information available online, I love hard copies of materials so that I can grab my favorite pens and start circling our "must-dos." So let's talk about what printable materials you'll find.
Elijah, I will first point you to the printable maps for each theme park:
-
GUIDEMAP Magic Kingdom Park -
GUIDEMAP EPCOT -
GUIDEMAP Disney's Hollywood Studios -
GUIDEMAP Disney's Animal Kingdom I find that having the maps in advance allows us to consider our path around the park prior to visiting. In terms of what times you'll find special things happening, you'll want to pick up a "Times Guide" as soon as you enter. These serve as a companion to the maps but are not currently available to print.
Park hours are available to view online, but the hours for June 2021 have yet to be released.
Finally, let me share that as the Walt Disney World Resort continues to operate in a state of phased reopening to focus on the health and safety of their guests, you will find that some entertainment just spontaneously pops up instead of being scheduled. This would include
cavalcades at Magic Kingdom Park,
promenades at EPCOT,
motorcades at Disney's Hollywood Studios and
flotillas at Disney's Animal Kingdom. My family and I loved turning the corner and being surprised by our favorite characters and hope that you do as well.
Elijah, I hope this helps you continue on your planning journey. If you have any additional questions, please come on back and see us here at planDisney. Like the Genie guiding Aladdin, we love to help make wishes come true!
Lauren
