I have many of the maps over the year and it makes me light up to go through and see the park change over the years and remind me of a spacific trips adventure.
I also have the framed 50th pin collectors map on my wall.

Re: Do you collect Maps?
Yes, I collect the maps. usually just the main parks at WDW (sometimes downtown but not usually). I like to see how the parks have changed over the years.
I started doing this when I was an adult. I had to resort to eBay to find the ones that came out when I was younger (I only collect the years I've gone - I don't think I'll bother with other years).
The maps weren't good back in the 70s, but they were booklets and gave ride descriptions. I still remember being on a plane with my brother as we reviewed a borrowed booklet in order to pick the rides we wanted to go on - we were limited based on the number of tickets my parents bought - the booklets listed the cost (A - E).

It's so funny, the other day, My dad found a big bag of old maps, and tickets from our older trips from 1993, and 1994. Ah, it was good times reading about the "NEW" rides at the time and the rides that are no longer with us.
I know this is probably your first flight...and it's mine too...ha, ha

I have a lot of old mps, I won't part with them but it would be interesting to see how much they are going for, on E-bay and other places as well.Jacca5660 wrote:My DW has maps back at least 15 years!!

Hehehe .. I'm one of those people who buy them on ebay (from time to time, anyway). I actually collect all kinds of Disney ephemera, mainly maps but also brochures, like the old ones they had for the individual hotels and golf courses and whatnot at WDW, dining guides, tickets, bags, the individual hotel stationery and so on. I love scanning through ebay to find really 'old' printed Disney stuff. I'm pretty sure my husband things it's odd that I get so excited over a copy of "The Disney Look" circa 1982... it probably is.Jacca5660 wrote:My DW has maps back at least 15 years!!

Here's one that I don't think others have done or maybe they have. Have you ever collected all of the different language ones????? I have all of them for the past 2 years now and I plan on continuing this until I get kicked out of the parks for it.
