Technology can be your best friend while trying to navigate the Disney World theme parks.
Mobile order to avoid long lines!
The My Disney Experience app lets you check out wait times, see ride closures, see showtimes, make dining reservations, and mobile order! And while the app does have a map of the parks, sometimes you just need a paper map in your hands! There’s good news for those of you who love having an actual map, because the map of Magic Kingdom has just been updated!
The map features a brand new cover that is bringing us so much joy!!
New map!
There is still a COVID-19 warning on the back as well as health and safety reminders.

Then, there’s helpful info like how to use My Disney Experience as well as Park Rules and where to find Guest Relations.

It also looks a bit different inside! We see that a lot more locations have been added to the map!
There must be something there that wasn’t there before…
Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor is now listed as “returning in August 2021” under Tomorrowland attractions. The comedy show is scheduled to return on August 8th! The Lunching Pad and Cool Ship have been added back to the map, and Tomorrowland Terrace now says it’s “open seasonally” which is probably because they were serving food from the closed Columbia Harbour House, which is scheduled to reopen on August 5th.
Tomorrowland
You can see Columbia Harbour House is back under the Liberty Square Section, and so is The Diamond Horseshoe, which is interesting because it’s still closed. Over in Frontierland, Golden Oak Outpost and Westward Ho are on the map again.
Frontierland and Liberty Square
In Adventureland the Springroll Snack Cart is listed as well as Tortuga Tavern (which is still closed right now). On Main Street, U.S.A., Casey’s Corner, The Crystal Palace, and Plaza Ice Cream Parlor have all been added back to the list, however the Chapeau as well as Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom are gone.
Main Street U.S.A. and Adventureland
In Fantasyland we’ve seen the addition of Cinderella’s Royal Table, Gaston’s Tavern, Prince Eric’s Village Market, Cheshire Cafe, and The Friar’s Nook!
Fantasyland
Overall, there’s much more happening on this new map!

Could the closed restaurants on the map mean they’re reopening soon? We’ll keep an eye out and let you know, so stay tuned for updates!

I find it interesting that there is no shopping listed for Frontierland or Adventureland. Might it due to a staff shortage or supply issue?
Hopefully, they all will be open by Oct. 1st.
Diane, thanks for reaching out. I checked on DisneyWorld.com, and there are several shops open in those lands. I’m not sure why they haven’t listed them on the map.
Is there anyway for a person to obtain these maps for each park before they get to disney? I am set to venture there the beginning of Feb. We really like paper maps for the parks. But can’t seem to find online to print the correct one. Any idea?
