MAPS: by Robo. WDW places & how to get there.

[mesaboy2]

Thank you @Robo for these maps- I have always brought them with me!

I would love to try the walk from HS to the international gateway this year.

When coming out of HS, do we veer left? Are there and signs/landmarks or will it be pretty self explanatory?

Also, on the map you indicate cutting through one of the buildings- which one is that?

Finally, about how long (average) of a walk would you guess it is?

Thanks so much

You will go around the far side of the water that is on your left as you exit DHS. I would estimate a ~20-25 minute walk to the IG from DHS entrance.

1. When coming out of HS, do we veer left? Are there and signs/landmarks or will it be pretty self explanatory?

1. If you stay along the water, you can't go the "wrong way"
as going one way immediately ends at the DHS boat dock,
so... the only other direction to go is the walkway to Boardwalk (etc.) that you want.

2. Here's the close-up of the Boardwalk pool, the area that you cut through.

Here's the wide shot of the whole path, again.

As far as anyone knows, is the Jedi Training Academy sign-up still by the Indy Adventure Outpost? YDS and I are plotting.

These maps are wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing.

I've not heard of any change in location, but you never know.
I'd ask this as a new thread on the open forum.

Thank you for the kind words about the maps!

We're thinking we want to rope drop Pooh since we have fast passes for 7DMT and PP later in the day. What's the best route to go? I know it's right by 7DMT, but since the rope closest to 7DMT is the most crowded, is there a faster way to Pooh? We've not been to the park since the new rope drop procedures! Thanks

Nope. Go the same way as to 7DMT/
Have fun!

Robo, these maps are unbelievable! Much thanks and gratitude for what will be a much more efficient and well-planned trip, thanks to your hard work and efforts. I, along with other WDW fans, are indebted to you for the gifts you have bestowed on us, Master DisneyCartographer!

Trust me when I say, with a 4 year old in tow for the first time, all of that pixie dust does wear off at the end of the night, and these maps will definitely save a few steps here and there on tired toddler legs. Thank you so much! I tend to be a minimalist on what I carry into the park, or else I'd have all of these map printouts laminated, hole punched, and in a binder for easy access.

Such kind words!
Makes my day.
Thank you, Wubar!
Have a great trip!

Great maps! Thanks for all the work pictures are truly worth a 1000 words. Just have a question about the Magic Kingdom map that says people "may" be allowed into Main Street 60-75 minutes before official park opening. Disney's official site says resort buses start about 45 minutes before opening. Considering average 20 minutes of travel time would a park guest be better off driving to the parks to be able to take better advantage of getting into park early? It seems like people using bus would get to the train station at about official opening time whereas hotel guests on the monorail or driving would be able to enter much earlier.

1. Disney's official site says resort buses start about 45 minutes before opening.
2. Considering average 20 minutes of travel time would a park guest be better off driving to the parks to be able to take better advantage of getting into park early?
3. It seems like people using bus would get to the train station at about official opening time whereas hotel guests on the monorail or driving would be able to enter much earlier.

1.That info is incorrect. Has been wrong for years.
2. & 3. Therefore, anything based on that incorrect info would be flawed.

Truth: The resort to park buses begin running every day at or before 6:30AM.

Thanks very for the information, Robo. I am traveling with my kids and grand kids and have been trying to figure an accurate bus routine for years. I have received different answers from different cast members. Last trip (3 years ago) I would have missed an early breakfast reservation if I relied on the information the first cast member gave me. A second cast member told me that the bus came at an earlier time.

Wow, what a great resource.

I keep coming back to these maps - anytime I have a (seemingly) obscure question about where something is, or if my logistics check out, I just find this thread and there is invariably a map that addresses my question. Really an amazing resource! Thanks for keeping them up to date.

Thanks for your compliments about the maps!
I try to keep up with as many important changes as I can.

Where would you recommend waiting for Frozen Ever After Rope Drop? I plan to arrive 45 min before park opening. Thanks.

Depending on where the CMs decide to hold guests inside Epcot that day, pick a spot as nearest to the direction you wish to be headed when they drop the ropes.
