These documents are visual representations of the Walt Disney World Resort, designed for convenient printing and use as navigational aids within the theme parks, water parks, and surrounding areas. They offer a detailed layout of attractions, restaurants, restrooms, transportation hubs, and other points of interest. A user might employ such a document to plan a route through the Magic Kingdom, for example, noting the location of Space Mountain and the nearest dining option.
Their utility lies in providing accessible, offline references for guests. This is especially valuable given variable cellular service and the desire to conserve mobile device battery life. Historically, paper versions were distributed freely upon park entry. Now, although digital options exist, printable versions remain popular, allowing for pre-trip planning and customized annotation. Their accessibility makes them invaluable for guests with limited technological access or those preferring a tangible guide.
