Hi Lori,
Welcome to planDisney fellow Ohioan! Are you counting down the days until your upcoming June trip?
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will be opening at EPCOT this summer; fingers crossed it is open in time for your trip. I, for one, am so excited to see the new World Discovery neighborhood.
Park maps are great for helping plan out your trips. Unfortunately, Walt Disney World Resort no longer sends out paper park maps. Luckily there are some other options for planning out your travels.
1. Digital maps- Each theme park has a digital map that you can download and print at home. I personally like to print out maps as wall décor, so I will often download the digital maps and have them printed at my local printing store. With this option, you can print the maps as large as you like. As a bonus, you can print as many copies as you would like and have multiple different planning drafts. For ease of locating, here are the links to each parks individual maps:
EPCOTMagic Kingdom Disney’s Hollywood StudiosDisney’s Animal Kingdom 2.
Interactive Map- The Walt Disney World Resort website has an interactive map that shows live estimated wait times. The nice thing about this option is that you can start to get an idea of peak attraction times and get an idea of how to maximize your park days.
3. Online Resale- A final option I can give you is to order from an online resale shop. You can often find that individuals sell the exact maps handed out at the park for a price. The prices can range, so I typically don’t go down this route, but it could be the solution you most prefer.
I hope this was helpful and provided you with some great alternatives for securing a paper map.
Please let me know if you have any further questions that I can help you with as you continue prepping for your trip!
