Do you still use the park maps?

We don't need the maps but I like to have one just in case. However, at the end of my stay I will always get a map for each attraction and take them home just to remind me what they were like that year.

We use them but don't really need them. The kids like to have them and I will also number what where doing for the day based on our excel itenerary. Plus it gives me a good idea how much walking we will be doing for the day. Although, I must admit that I put so much work into the itenerary that I really don't have to look at it.

I'll admit that we use the maps for all of the parks. In our defence though we have done 3 trips to WDW so haven't had a chance to learn the layout of the parks. Admittedly for a trip to Orlando we spend a full 2 weeks so do go to each park several times in that time. I think the maps are kept as souveneirs in the same place we keep the ride photos. I must find out where that is.

by force of habit we pick up a park map each morning, fold it in half put it in my pocket and then (generally speaking) leave it there until we return to our room late that night.

We use them as a guide to what we haven't ridden yet today. Plus we just love to look at them!

[TikiLounger]

We still need to use the map at DHS. We were fine until Toy Story Mania was added. Now? We're always a bit confused trying to get to TSM from the Pizza Planet area.

I still always pick up a map and use them - I know the general layout of each park and know which way we're heading but my sense of direction can be a little off so a map is needed!
Plus you can sit down and check which attractions you've done and discuss over lunch where you're going next!

I still use a map for AK. The other information is also handy like show times etc...

I'm waiting for the Disney to come out with a DGPS (Disney Global Park Satellite) like Tom Tom or Garmen. I would bet some people would still get turned around.

They still make park Maps

[MMFreak]

We don't use the maps anymore either but my husband out of habit I guess always grabs one when we enter the park. He then looks at it for a few minutes folds it and puts it in his pocket (shrug). he of course ends up packing it in his luggage and I end up throwing it away once we get home. We have the customized maps as well, but we never used them never even brought them with us. They are just very nice maps to look at.

Though we know how to get around the parks, we still pick up a map at each location for show-times and also to know about counter-service and snack locations. I also don't know all the restroom locations at AK and DHS.

We took our 3rd trip in February, and this was one fact that I was very proud of - we no longer needed maps! We still had them to entertain the kids, but didn't need them! I feel like I'm party of the Disney family now - it's my second home!

[cinderella crazy]

We don't use maps either. We did have to break down the last time we went and look at an Epcot one. We had no idea where the Baby Station was. DH always gets one from each park just as a souvenir.

[brownie]

Not really. They've helped to find nearby bathrooms on the last couple trips we took. It's been a few years, though, so I might need to use maps more on our next trip.

[Iteachpc]

We always pick them up (one for everyone because NOBODY likes to share...LOL). We don't need them for any park but AK since we haven't been there as much. I guess I'll need one to find TSM this time though since it's a new ride!

[MaxPower]

I wish they would put two things on the park maps:

The current menu and prices for each restaurant on the map.

Locations of food carts and what each sells.

[Soul_Power]

I definitely need park maps for all of the parks! Hopefully I could get to the point (like many of you) where I don't need them, but after having only one trip to WDW under my belt, you'll see me with my nose in the maps!

[thejens]

I still like the security of the maps now and then, but in DHS I need a GPS. Does anyone else find that layout counter-intuitive?! Not to mention the desperate need for schedules there! I do find that I know how to find my favorite spots in all the parks!

[ASweetLov]

I have only been twice so I still need the maps on most ocassions, they are nice to bring home too

[Earnhardt321]

You got me thinking. No we don't use maps but I do grab one when I get to every park and end up putting it in my bag. They are great for scrapbooking when I get home!
