I third the poster request!
Fourthing!
Thanks for the updates and for posting everywhere that you made the updates! You are awesome!
Very cool map! Do you also have any data on roughly how often the busses depart at the resorts to the parks?
I love the map.
Just the two pieces of information.
The buses at Caribbean beach go Clockwise beginning at either Martinique or Jamaica. They seem to start the circuit at each place alternatively.
During off peak times the only way to get to the ESPN Wide World of Sports is by bus from Disney Hollywood Studios.
Love the map, but can’t read any of it even on the download version. Don’t know if it’s image or user error. Would like to download it though.
@Mel, if you click on “Download large version” you should be able to zoom in on the image in your browser and read the text. You could also download it to your computer (right-click and “Save Link As…”).
FANTASTIC. One tweak: put the “intra-theme park” sections into some sort of shaded area – for instance, all the boat routes in Epcot are “ticket required.”
In the legend, you might want to alter the description for the blue line because there are two INSIDE Epcot’s World Showcase Lagoon as well as point-to-point outside the Parks.
Saratoga Springs is my home resort, and I just got back last night from five days there. Some enhancements:
Theme park buses stop in the order Grandstand, Carousel, Paddock, Congress Park, Springs. Downtown Disney buses stop in the order Springs, Grandstand, Carousel, Paddock, Congress Park. Also, Treehouses don’t have direct service, but have to use the internal Saratoga loop, changing at the Springs.
there’s also no viable foot path from Downtown or Saratoga to Old Key West. It can be done via the LBV Golf cart paths, but there are signs everywhere warning off pedestrians.
The map is boffo.
This is wonderful. Thank You. Downloaded the larger PNG to my Droid phone. While the text is a bit difficult to read, (probably Droid not liking PNG all that well) it’s certainly useable. Thanks Again
Absolutely wonderful. Thanks so much!
Very nice.
But what about the chairlift at Blizzard Beach? Or the lazy rivers at both water parks?
@bitgury, thank you for the suggestions. I like the idea of adding the chairlift at Blizzard Beach as it brings you to the top of Mt Gushmore. I am not sure about the lazy rivers, though.
Absolutely FANTASTIC!!!! This will be a life saver. Sooooooo talented!!! Thank You!!!
Arthur — very cool, as I am someone who both loves maps and Disney. I know this may detract from the fundamentals of these types of maps, but what do you think about a different line type for the monorail lines -vs- bus, like the unique type you have for pedestrian? I was thinking a solid line interrupted by intermittent monorail profiles. I can send an example if you like, but warning … I am NOT a graphic designer so it’s gonna be rough! 😉
By chance, will you update this with the recent route changes for the new MK lot and TTC?
Do the purchased posters contain the WDW Focus watermark? If I’m going to spend the kind of money your printer is asking, I’d prefer a “clean” image.
Thanks
Yes, the poster on http://fineartamerica.com/products/walt-disney-world-resort-transportation-map-arthur-de-wolf-art-print.html is as you see it there. I also removed the watermark from the picture on this website.
If you have a spare couple of minutes/weeks how about adding approximate journey times between stops.
Hi Arthur – Your map is FANTASTIC! It’s so nice of you to share it with the rest of us WDW fans. Just in case you haven’t heard, the new walkway that runs between Downtown Disney and Saratoga Springs is now open. In the center of the walkway is a boat launch to Port Orleans (on the right) and Downtown Disney (on the left – stopping at Westside first, then Pleasure Island). The walkway is close to where it was before but instead of going along the busy street, it crosses the water – making a fair bit shorter of a walk.
Hi Barrie, thank you for your comment. In the last version of my map I changed the dotted line between Marketplace and Saratoga Springs to go over the water, because of the new bridge. I have seen the new boat launch, it all looks very nice. On my map the blue boat line that leaves from marketplace is supposed to be the one from the bridge, as I think that the boat launch is part of Marketplace. With the two arrows I tried to indicate that it first goes to West Side and then to Pleasure Island.
Got it – that makes sense. I think what was confusing me was no mention of Port Orleans at the Marketplace boat launch. Now I see that it is mentioned on the other end at Port Orleans. I cannot even imagine trying to sort this all out get it right in this kind of graphic. Nice work!
I am a Disney virgin. I am working in a trip for my family for December ’15. Does the Disney transportation work like any other city’s public trans? I.e., we are planning on staying at Pop Century – can we hop on the yellow bus line and get off at any of the stops along the way?
No, it is not like that; buses have a specific destination. When you’re at the bus stop at your resort you’ll wait for a bus that has your destination written on the front. So when you want to go to the Magic Kingdom you’ll wait for a bus that has “Magic Kingdom” written on the front and that one will take you without stopping anywhere else. Sometimes a bus may make a few other stops at resorts to pick up more guests, but most buses just go to one place. On my map the yellow line from Pop Century only goes to Typhoon Lagoon and Marketplace. I hope that helps and have fun planning your trip! 🙂
Thanks!!! That clears it up and will make planning much easier knowing for sure!
this is awesome Thank you
This is INCREDIBLE!!! You should sell posters!
