Printable WDW Road Map?

[maui2k5]

I have been searching the web for an up to date road map of Walt Disney World that I can print and take with me on our trip. I would imagine we can likely get one when we rent our car from Alamo or possibly Pop Century front desk, but I want to be prepared in the event I do not come across one while I am there.

Does anyone know of a good site to get a printable road map of Disney World that has Pop Century on it? We want to avoid getting lost as much as possible when we are using the rental car since we are used to the bus system.

Thanks!

When you check-in to POP on the back of the resort map (where they show your room ) is a good road map with the parks and resorts listed.

Sorry I don't really know of an on-line map.

Not sure if there is one there, BUT, did you try www.allearsnet.com

Also, no worries about maps, the signs are really good. I cannot read a map to save my life, but, I have yet to get lost at WDW. I just follow the signs.

I have to agree about the signs. Our last visit was the first to take our own vehicle, and I was worried because I had never really paid attention to the resort layout before and thought it might get confusing. Everything was so well laid out that the only time I missed an exit, it was my own fault for not paying attention. Also, the parking lots for the theme parks were some of the easiest I have ever seen as far as getting in and out.

I don't know of an on-line printable map either, but I've got a Disney World fold-out map that I obtained at one of the hotel resort entrance guard houses. It shows all the roads. Don't know if they still print these or not as I need an update myself since this one is a couple years old and does not show the new Western Way entrance road.

Thanks for the responses... For those of you that have rented cars while in WDW in lieu of using Disney Bus Transportation, I have a few general questions...

When we head down to WDW next week, is renting a car the way to go? From what I have read, the value resorts are pretty busy right now and lines to travel by Bus can be long - especially early in the day and when parks close.

My question specifically is should we rent a car while staying at Pop Century being that we have reservations at the following resorts for dinner?

1) Concourse Steakhouse (Contemporary)
2) Boma (Animal Kingdom Lodge)
3) Spoodles (Boardwalk)
4) O'Hana (Polynesian)
5) Whispering Canyon (Wilderness Lodge)

I am very familiar with the bus system and I know we could always take a bus from Pop to a park nearby the the resort we will be dining then take another bus/monorail/boat to the resort we need to be at for dinner. I do not think we want to spend 90 minutes travelling between Pop and Poly for example or get stuck in a mass mob when the MK lets out (easy way to get back to TTC after MK closes is take the resort Monorail instead of the direct Monorail which gets extremely busy).

Thoughts? We can rent a car from Alamo for the week for $114 renting from either Car Care Center or Dolphin. Not sure which one of those is better to rent from...

We ALWAYS rent a car Just feel it gives us more freedom to come & go as we please. When you want to go to a meal at another resort as you mentioned it just takes too long to get there. Buses are great if you are going just to parks from resort (at least that is what others feel) but I still like the option of driving. Oh and having a car allows us one visit to the Character Shop off site and at times kids just want "real food" like Denny's YUCKY or such.

I suggest using the TTC rental since they will pick you up at your resort and take you to car. Then the reverse happens at the end of yor trip.

HAVE FUN

I scanned my map from May for you -

I can scan it at higher resolution and e-mail it to you if you like. Just send me a PM with your e-mail address. (The one posted is legible, but a little blurry)

Here is the same map as above in a pdf-- I got this one from the Wide World of Sports website:

Even though the signs there are great, it's nice to have a sense where you are going, too.

I totally concur with Donald - my hero. The advice was right on.
And, you thinking was excellent, the busses will be busy. Imagine the freedom to take a break from the parks and hop in the car and be at your resort in little or no time.
I have rented from the CCC and found the shuttle system to be excellent.
Good luck in your planning and have a great vacation.
