You can see a lot of familiar landmarks in the drawing. This is from the cover of The Complete Edition About Walt Disney World, a magazine-style report released in 1969 and includes an illustration of one of the early models of the Magic Kingdom.

The Complete Edition About Walt Disney World Let’s take a look at how Disney presented the park to guests through various Magic Kingdom maps over the years. Most of the early PR focused as much on the recreational activities, like tennis, boating and horseback, as well as the Magic Kingdom itself. Marketed as the Vacation Kingdom of the World, Disney spent time trying to show people the scope and size of the resort, while still making it feel like a family destination. Walt Disney World was a different idea altogether. By the time Jrolled around, pretty much everyone in America (and a lot of the rest of the world) knew what to expect with Walt’s Magical Kingdom. The nascent television industry was a perfect way to broadcast the ideas behind Disneyland into millions of homes. With Disneyland, the country was ripe for Walt’s vision of a family-inspired theme park. Until the Disney Decade, Disney had always struggled with promoting Walt Disney World.

If you are looking for the times of shows and hours of operation for restaurants and rides you won’t find it on the map. Of course, if you are in the park and can’t find something any Disney World cast member will be able to help you out on finding your way. Every Disney World park map clearly marks attractions, dining, shows, bathrooms, etc. You don’t want to arrive and be slowed down just trying to figure out where you need to go next and how to get there. I recommend reviewing the park map to at least know the general direction of each of the lands prior to your first visit. Disney park maps are a great way to get the lay of the land.
