Free Maps

Did you know that you can order free customizable maps for your trip to Disney World? These are so much fun to do and my daughter and I have a lot of fun doing this each year. Every summer we pick a day and log in to My Disney Vacation on the Disneyworld.com website. Once you create an account and log in, there is a tab where you can choose to customize your park maps. We go to each park and I ask my daughter to choose her favorite rides, shows and restaurants in each park. It is a lot of fun to go down the list and talk about each attraction with her, and hear why she either likes or dislikes each one. The list has changed just a little bit each year and some of the things that she used to love are sadly no longer on the list for one reason or another. Some things she has outgrown, like Playhouse Disney at Hollywood Studios. Other things that she used to love, like Pooh's playground or Ariel's grotto are no longer there due to the ever changing and expanding World. In case you don't know, Magic Kingdom is in the middle of a very big expansion project right now to make room for a bigger and better Fantasyland. This will be awesome when this is complete, but sadly we are saying goodbye to some of our family's favorite attractions. This is another reason why we like to order the maps every year. It is fun to see how things have changed since our baby's first trip in 2005. I highly recommend ordering these maps before you go. It gives you something to do before the trip and allows little ones to see what they have to look forward to. Plus, when you get them in the mail they are so much fun to open. They arrive in true Disney style with super cute packaging and are so much fun to look at and open. You can't help but get excited about the upcoming trip when they arrive.
