There are lots of kinds of maps that you can use to help plan your Disney World trip. Most of them are even free and/or printable.
Below, I’ve listed the different kinds of maps and their best use.
Side note: that “I’m the map, I’m the map, I’m the map” song won’t get out of my head while writing this. My favorite comedian (Brian Regan) has a joke about that annoyingly catchy tune.
Here’s his joke about the lazy person who obviously wrote the lyrics:
Now, on to the maps….

Disney’s customized maps (free)
Best use: as a keepsake, perhaps to record all of the things you did during your trip. They can be printed but I recommend that you also order them to be mailed to you because they are great quality.

I was wondering is there any way to get one of those disney them park maps. that would be large enough to see. So my family and i can start narrowing down the main attraction we want to see at each location. The printable one are just so small.
