The following maps should help you find your way around the Port Orleans resorts and the surrounding Walt Disney World road system. These maps are all high quality and fully scalable.
There are a number of good maps of the Orlando area, but for tourists visiting the resorts I highly recommend Steve Munns’ excellent publication which can be obtained from www.orlandomaps.co.uk. This not only gives clear, accurate and up-to-date details of the local road system - even down to the toll booths - but also the precise locations of popular tourist destinations, restaurants, shopping complexes, airports, etc. In my opinion, this is probably the best map of the general Orlando tourist area that you can buy on either side of the Atlantic, and it’s very reasonably priced too.
First time visitors to Walt Disney World can sometimes find getting to the parks and resorts a little daunting, especially if it’s also their first time driving in the USA. However once you’ve got the hang of it, driving around Florida is pretty simple - just try to remember which side of the road you should be driving on!
Most visitors arrive via either Orlando International Airport (MCO) or Sanford International Airport (SFB). If you’re traveling via either of these and collecting a hire car, please see my airport directions page for a step-by-step guide to get you safely to your Port Orleans destination.
For some wonderful aerial views of the entire resort layout, give Microsoft’s Virtual Earth Live Search “Bird’s Eye Views” a try. You can scroll around the whole resort complex, and even zoom in close enough to see people standing outside the Lobby! Also well worth a look is Google Earth, but you’ll need to download their free viewer software first. Here a few links to take to straight to views of the resorts:
