FREE Vacation Planning Videos & Guides

If you’re planning a Disney vacation, you can watch a variety of Disney online videos or order brochures and guides, which actually have a good amount of useful information. Disney no longer sends out their Disney Cruise Line, Walt Disney World and Disneyland vacation planning DVDs, but the online videos have all the same content.

FREE Downloadable Maps for Walt Disney World

Walt Disney World has FREE downloadable PDFs, which are the same maps you would get in the parks. They can be copied onto your phone or tablet, and they’re very detailed and zoomable. You can print them, but unless you have a large-format printer, the text gets pretty small. Note: sometimes you get an error when attempting to download one of these maps. This just means Disney’s servers are getting overloaded. Hit “refresh” a few times and it will eventually load.

• Download a PDF map of the Magic Kingdom.
• Download a PDF map of Epcot.
• Download a PDF map of Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
• Download a PDF map of Animal Kingdom.
• Download a PDF map of Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach Water Parks. 
• When we last checked, Disney didn’t have current PDF versions of their printed guide maps for Walt Disney World Resort or Disney Springs. You can view scrollable interactive maps on Disney’s web site via the links below:
  • Interactive map of all of Walt Disney World
  • Interactive map of Disney Springs

If you eat something you love at a Disney restaurant and you’d like to try duplicating it at home, ask your server if you can get the recipe. In most cases the chef will be happy to supply it. Here are some sites where you can get Disney restaurant recipes for FREE:

• The Disney Cruise Line Blog, an unofficial Disney Cruise Line information blog, has collected some great recipes for food and drink from the menus of Disney Cruise Line restaurants and lounges.
• The Disney Parks Blog frequently publishes recipes from the theme park and cruise ship restaurants.
• The Disney Food Blog has a great collection of Disney recipes from the theme parks and Disney Cruise Line.
• D23: The Official Disney Fan Club has recipes from multiple Disney parks, official Disney hotels, as well as some of Walt’s favorite recipes.

FREE Webcam and Satellite Views of Disneyland & Walt Disney World

• Want to see Disneyland for FREE? The Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel & Water Playground offers views of Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure theme parks via its “Mattercam”.
• For a 3D view of the theme parks that combines satellite imagery and 3D models, check out Google Earth. You can view it in any browser for free and explore Walt Disney World, Disneyland, even Disneyland Paris or Tokyo Disney Resort on your home computer! You can also download a FREE standalone Google Earth Pro for PC, Mac or Linux that has even more options and features. Thanks to Michael for info.
• You can also see detailed aerial views with Microsoft Bing Maps “Bird’s Eye” View. If you scroll around the map, you can see parts of Disney World in incredible detail. MouseSavers.com reader Tammy L reports that you can even read all of the words on the Pop Century resort! Note that the Bird’s Eye images are only gathered every few years, so they can be several years out of date. It’s still fun to see the various parks and resorts from the air.
