Hiya Valerie! Thanks for visiting us here at planDisney!
I'm so glad to be able to answer your question today! Before I set off on any vacation, I always make sure to spend some time with the local map to know my way around wherever I'm headed off to. So, Valerie, I can totally understand wanting to take a look at the maps for each theme park before you arrive for your fabulous
Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
While Walt Disney World no longer offers maps or planning guides to be sent via mail ahead of your visit, you can still grab a printed map from any
Disney Resorts Collection hotel's front desk or
Guest Relations at any of the theme parks. To familiarize yourself with the park map before you arrive, I definitely recommend checking out the
interactive map in your
My Disney Experience app. Not only is the map incredibly detailed, with the option to zoom in and out as needed, but you can also get precise directions to help you navigate anywhere within Walt Disney World. Even though I have visited the parks more times than I can count, I still get turned around from time to time. So, I often turn to my trusty interactive map to pull up directions to my next destination, and I am on my way!
To use this nifty feature, simply open your My Disney Experience app, and click on the location icon on the bottom menu bar (the second icon from the left). Then, you can use the filter tool on the top left corner to pick the theme park you would like to see and the list on the right corner to view the attractions within that park. From there, you can click on the individual attraction and scroll down to "Get Directions" to get the step-by-step directions from point A to point B. You can also use the search icon in the menu bar to search where you want to go anywhere on Walt Disney World property. You'll see that same helpful "Get Directions" button to help get you where you are going!
I hope this helps, Valerie! Please stop by again if there is anything else we can help you with!
Have a fabulous day!
Diana
