Hiya MIKA,
Welcome to planDisney! I love that you are planning a vacation to the Most Magical Place on Earth with your daughter. My little toddler princess has practically grown up at the theme parks, and it's extraordinary to experience it with her. The way her eyes light up when she meets a princess or rides an attraction has created endless core memories for us as a family.
First off, MIKA, I'm super excited to help you plan your first trip. I'm a firm believer that the right amount of planning can be the difference between a so/so vacation and the best day ever! Planning out what you want to do is a great first step, so I understand why you would like to look at a map. Unfortunately, Walt Disney World Resort does not currently send paper maps to Guests. However, there are still ways to check out maps in advance of your trip. The first is to use the
My Disney Experience mobile app. It is interactive and allows you to get a sense of character appearances (subject to change), dining locations, and entertainment, all at once. However, I do like having physical maps to help plan routes and circle must-see attractions. The good news is that you can print park maps from the website to help with your planning. What I love about this option is that you can print the maps as large as you want and as many copies as you need, which, depending on the type of planner you are, is fantastic. You can find the maps here:
Magic Kingdom ParkDisney's Hollywood StudiosEPCOTDisney's Animal KingdomMaps are just the start of your planning; there are also additional resources that can help you plan your first trip, such as the
vacation checklist on the website, the video guide I shared below, and, of course, the panelists at planDisney. We are here to help you with any questions you may have!
Before I let you go, since you are planning to visit during the merriest time of year and mentioned Magic Kingdom, I wanted to point out that this park is one of my favorites to visit during this time of year. Although Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party will have ended by the time of your visit, the park will still be expertly decorated for the season. There will also still be many other festive touches for the season. Don't forget also to check out EPCOT, as the
EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is still running during your visit and is truly magical. Your daughter is sure to love the experience. Please come back and see us if you need anything else.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
