Wendy,
Thanks for asking your question to planDisney!
Disney does not send out park maps or other planning information like DVDs any longer, but what they do offer is a wide array of online tools to help with the planning process. Clearly planDisney is the best one!
That may not be the answer you were looking for, but these tools can help. For a real starting point, visit the
Vacation Planning page. It captures the core planning topics that most of us find challenging.
Your next stop is to use the
My Disney Experience system as your 'home base' for your planning. As you discover what you want to do, you can start logging it all in there. Of course when you are finally immersed in the magic at the Walt Disney World resort, the
My Disney Experience App puts all that information and planning right at your fingertips.
If you would like to get the current park maps, the fastest and easiest way to get them is to print them out from the website. You can find 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 by clicking on the guide map link at the bottom of the respective web pages for each park.
BONUS TIP
After you review the vacation planning site,
write me back and I can help with more suggestions. I love to help with dining event ideas, recommendations for best hotels to match your traveling party, attractions that should be on your
"Must Do!" list, and anything else you can think of!
Have a Magical Vacation!
Doug
