Disney Pic of the Week: Disney Maps

Photographic Innoventions by Scott Thomas

When planning my very first trip to Walt Disney World back in 1983. Websites like this was still more than a decade in the future. I had to rely on a book called Birnbaum’s Walt Disney World which showed detailed maps of both the Magic Kingdom and Epcot. The only two parks at the time. I spent hours with that book to make sure I got the most out of my vacation (which doubled as my honeymoon).

Today, you can find maps of any Disney themepark in the world online. Click this link for maps of Walt Disney World here on AllEars.net. When you enter any Disney park there are maps and entertainment guides readily available and in many languages. Shops and carts will have them, too. One of those things we take for granted by must cost Disney plenty to keep updated and fresh.

If you could not see, all these maps are of no use to you. In each Walt Disney World park there are braille maps for the blind and visually impaired. This one is located at the International Gateway entrance to World Showcase in Epcot.
