Map of Disney World

You can find a Map of Disney World on just about every website that even mentions Disney. But are you getting the map you want?

The Walt Disney World Resort is a huge place. It's bigger than Manhattan Island. The whole resort has 4 (or as Dad likes to say, 5) completely separate theme parks, 25+ resort hotels (the number keeps getting bigger every month or so), more than 100 miles of roads, a shopping mall, golf courses, water parks, restaurants and lots of behind the scenes stuff.

So, knowing which map your are looking for is important.

The Disney World Resort Map

The first major map you need to look at is the Disney World Resort Map. This is a overall map that shows the theme parks, water parks, resorts, and most of the roads. This is a general map to give you an overview of where everything is.

Park Maps

If you've ever been to Disney World you know the first thing you see when you enter any of the parks is the map stands. They are located just inside the ticket turnstiles at the entry gate to the park. You can also get park maps in most hotels (even hotels outside Disney World).

Do I really need a map to get around the parks?

Maybe not, but the daily theme park maps have entertainment schedules on them, and they are handy to have if you need to find a restroom.

Personalized Maps

This is one of the coolest things Disney does. You can get a whole set of personalized (name on them and everything) Maps of Disney World for the incredibly low price of $0.00. Yep, that's not a typo. Disney will send them to you for absolutely free. (You don't even pay for shipping.)

The personalized maps aren't the glossy color maps you see around the parks. These are printed on parchament paper and are (according to Disney) suitable for framing. Delivery takes about 4 to 6 weeks so don't wait until the last minute to order them.

Everyone going to Disney World should sign up as soon as possible for these maps.

Dad's Bottom Line

Hey Dads, using a map is not a sin. In fact, it might be downright helpful.
