Check out the Free Customized Maps Disney is offering
While floating around the various Disney related forums yesterday, I found a couple of folks pointing out a really interesting new feature to the Disney World website, at least it is new to me. I know what you are thinking already; the phrase “really cool new feature” is seldom used in association with the Disney World website. For the most part, that is the case, but now it is offering free customized park maps shipped to your door. Yes, you don’t need to rub your eyes, that says “free”.
All it really seems to be is a standard park map, but the attractions you list as your “favorites” are highlighted for you. At least I think that is all it is. You can have them shipped to your house free of charge…there’s that word again…or you can print them out on your computer. It seems, at least from these two pictures, that there is a design difference between the ones shipped to you and the ones you print out. Take a look at the ad above that seems to contain the printed, mailed version. It looks very ornate. The picture below is more or less what you get to print. The only thing missing is the list of attractions under the map.
You can only get this mailed to you once per six months, so if you go more often then that you will need to print it if you want to change your favorites. The program asked when I would be at WDW, so I thought perhaps show times would be included. They are not included on the print-out version, and I can only assume that since they do not always release show times in advance that they probably won’t be included on the mailed version either. Oh well, free is free.
But let’s be fair, no matter what they look like they are worth what you pay for it and are certainly another way to feed the addiction. You can find these on the “My Vacation”portion of disneyworld.com.
