Use Disney World Maps to Plan Your Journey
Through the Theme Parks

I used to think that looking at Disney World maps before I actually got there was a waste of time.

What about spontaneity? Impulse?

I was certain that the people who planned every step of their visit were crotchety old folks that didn't know how to have a good time.

Yeah - I was wrong.

It's a funny thing, but the Disney parks keep growing. And my time for Disney vacations does not. If I want to make sure that I experience all of the attractions that are important to me, then I need to plan ahead.

Of course, I am not suggesting that I set up a marathon - running from ride to ride and cramming as much into my vacation time as possible. That certainly wouldn't be fun. Although if you follow most guide books to a "T" then this is what they recommend.

But I do have my favorites. And I don't want to miss them.

There are also new things to see that Disney adds constantly.

Mapping out the highlights before heading to Orlando is the best way to make sure I see them all.

The fact is, using Disney World maps to plan my paths through the parks saves time. Sure, I will stop at other points of interest that are not on my list. But knowing the general direction to take is, well ~ priceless.

Where To Find Current Disney Maps

What I originally wanted to do was to put maps of Disney World right here for easy reference. But they are constantly changing as new attractions are added and old ones revamped or removed. So the best source is really the Mouse himself.

Here is a link to the Disney site with the most updated information.

Customized Disney Maps

Did you know that you can create your own custom maps of the parks? For FREE.

Walt Disney World offers this service to all of it's guests. You just go online and enter information on the places you want to visit and the things you want to see. Here is the link to page you need at DisneyWorld.com.

When you are finished, Disney will snail mail you keepsake copies for you to use during your Orlando vacation. These are beautiful documents that make great souveniers.

However, you do need to do this well in advance - because it takes time for the maps to actually get to you.

On our last trip, our maps arrived after we left for Orlando.

If you have not yet finalized your vacation plans this information on cheap flights to Orlando will come in handy.
