Disney World Map: How To Plan Your Disney Vacation

How To Use Your Disney World Map

The key to planning your Disney vacation...

1. Get a map of each Disney World theme park, or a guide book that has comprehensive maps of all of the parks. I've suggested some options in the next section.
2. Take a few minutes to study how the map is organized... Yep, study. It's not hard. Note what's on the map key. That's the little section in the corner or on the side that tells you what all of the colors and symbols stand for.
3. On the map, find the entrance to the park. Get your family to play along... Have one of your children point to the entrance. Then imagine that you are walking through the park. Notice the shops, restaurants and attractions... the restrooms, parade route, shows... anything that you might like to visit.
4. Mark your favorites with a check mark or by drawing a circle around the attraction. Maybe even make a list of what you "must do." (Done right, this activity will involve lots of enthusiastic chattering!)
5. Repeat this lively experience with each of your Disney World park maps... Have fun! Find out what your kids and spouse want to do. Let them share in the planning.
6. With your now-quite-lengthy list of must-do attractions and restaurants, decide how many days you are staying and where you want to stay... Keep reading for more tips.
