In the first major overhaul since the late 1990s WDW will roll
out a makeover to the park maps. WDW News Today is reporting that new park maps
will be coming to the resort on March 3rd. The new maps will feature
a QR code on the front of them that links to a new app on which guests can make
reservations, access park information such as menus and where to find certain
characters, and even be able to share their itineraries with their family and
friends.
The new guide maps feature the same aesthetic as the
app. Also for a first time not all
merchandise locations will be listed, instead only featuring select merchandise
shops giving the new map a much more clutter free feeling. The new maps will have small panel with
special entertainment information but the majority of that information will be
accessible via the app. The new park maps
also acknowledge the free Wi-Fi found throughout the resort, the first time
that this service has been officially acknowledge by Disney.
