    Default Do you still use the park maps?

    I was just sitting here thinking, I got my custom park maps in the mail (they are great) but I am not taking them with me. How many of you need a park map? I could walk through the Magic kindom with my eyes closed. My next park that I can do in my sleep is Epcot, then DHS. AK I still need a map as I get turned around a bit ( it is so big and spread out) I am getting better each year that I go and I don't always pull my map out but I still take one just in case.
    just wondering, do you still take the maps even if you don't use them?

    Magic Kingdom and EPCOT are no map parks. However, Animal Kingdom and MGM always get us turned around...maps are a necessity

    No maps for us. Even my 14 and 11 yr old didnt when they went off on their own. We do use the schedule so we know when shows and parades are.

    Nope, no maps for us either. Its been a few years since we've needed a map. Its so nice to know the parks well enough not to need the maps.

    We haven't used maps for years, but we always get a guide.
    Your attention please, the Walt Disney World Railroad is now boarding for a trip around the Magic Kingdom

    We don't use them either unless we're in a certain part of the parks where we're unsure where the restrooms are and need to go.

    The only time we "use" maps is when we need to distract the boys into thinking they're helping us find things. It's the best way to stave off the "I'm hot" and "I'm hungry" whines.

    I don't use maps for MK and Epcot. For MGM and AK, I can make it through for the most part w/o a map, but sometimes I get stuck and need to use one.

    Nope, no more park maps. I do bring them back home with me though I'm not really sure why because I never use them for anything. We do grab schedules though for shows and parades.

    I still need them. We've only been twice and only once to AK. However, once we're there for awhile, we stop using them.

    Nope. I pretty much know the parks like the back of my hand. However, I do still use the Times Guides for the show/parade times.

    No maps, just show / parade schedules.
    I wish they would replicate the wait time boards in other corners of the parks.

    I just realized that the last trip down we didn't use our maps at all! But I will still be carrying one with me. I would hate to take a wrong turn and end up in Universal!
