New 50th Maps from WDW

[captsmith84]

Here are the new 50th Maps from WDW... I'm scanning them as I go... eventually I'll have the entire maps from all 4 parks and Downtown Disney.

Yes, this is going to my site. But feel free to use the images where ever you please.

Oooh! Thanks a lot

Bill, I also posted a pictures of those maps and the new bag and food item designs in my pictorial, but did't include the DAK since it looks the same as the old one. Are you surprised they didn't include "Lucky" on the cover, since they make such an issue of him being "a part of the happiest celebration..."?

[captsmith84]

I think that Disney (like me) knows that the stage show at the MK and a new character at AK aren't gonna bring in the big crowds. Having Stitch and the Castle on the MK cover and keeping the old AK cover is fine with me. I also think that Disney promoting "Lucky" as part of the 50th is kinda a dull move. He's great and all, but not great enough. He's only here through July anyway, right? Everest will get the most attention when it opens.

One more little odd thing I'd like to point out... Nhatazu is no more... AK's new slogan is "Adventure Awaits."

The backs of all maps have been added. More to come.

you going to scan in the actual map part? I like keeping a good documentation of those on my computer

because I'm a camputer pack ratish person

[captsmith84]

Yes, I will be. I also have all times guides from May 5th as well.

[captsmith84]

The first pages for all maps are up now... (Mostly ADs for FastPass and PhotoPass)

Coming up next is the MK map.

Awesome pics, Bill! Thanks for sharing. I will get my own on the 14th!

Guys, I haven't forgotten about this, it's just that I've been a little busy this week. Sorry about that. You'll see your maps soon enough.

On a similar note, does anyone have images of the new merchandise bags? I could have sworn I saw them online somewhere, but I can't seem to find them now.

It's kind of sad that WDW didn't bring back actual guidebooks (remember them pre-96) for the parks. But since they have watered down the offerings in merchandise, food and entertainment so much ... and have so many attractions operating seasonally and even staggered hours/days, I guess there wouldn't be much point.

I wish WDW would bring back the giant wall maps for the parks that they used to sell (at the MK anyway) just like DL still does. I posted a picture of the 1981 MK wall map today in my photo album on another site. Not sure if you need to be a member there to view this or not.

It measures 38" x 32". About 4 times the size of the free GuideMaps.

[WDW1974]

I still have a couple of those old wallmaps, including the opening one for EPCOT Center.

[mickhyperion]

Wow, an opening era EPCOT Center wall map would be the one to have! I was there a year too early to get that one.

[Jspider]

why'd Disney stop selling wall maps at WDW :confused:


are there any other Disney parks that still sell em besides Disneyland?

[Speedway]

They used to sell them at Disneyland Paris. I presume they will sell them at Hong Kong Disneyland for opening day at least.

[mickhyperion]

I don't know why they don't sell them anymore. That's what I keep asking. The CM's never know what I'm talking about. Oh well... I'd need a lot of walls to put up maps of every park anyway.

[Speedway]

When I have my own house, I'm going to have a Disney room. The walls will be lined with park maps, while a 1/1000 scale Cinderella Castle sits in the middle.
