Happy New Year!!!  2016 is here and we got new maps today!  Needless to say with the hoopla that is Star Wars, we got a new Star Wars cover on the Disneyland map featuring the one and only Chewbacca!  DCA is also doing a little bit of a Star Wars shout-out with Mater featured in front of a star filled sky.   I’m not sure how long these maps will last as a good majority of attractions will be closing this Sunday at both parks to make way for the construction of the new Star Wars Land.  We’ll see come Monday if these maps are still being used.  Happy Collecting!

Codes on these new maps are DLP-010716-ENG and DCA-010716-ENG

This past Friday, the Disneyland Resort released the Holiday maps for the Season.  It is nice to see Disneyland use a new photo which features the great lighting display on Small World.  Meanwhile, California Adventure went and used an archive photo they debuted back in 2013 of Cars Land with the Christmas Decorations.

Here are Full Scans of Disneyland 2015 -11-12 Disneyland and DCA 2015 -11-12 DCA

Codes are DLP-110215-ENG (Disneyland forgot to change code again) & DCA-111315-ENG

I love these new maps!!!    Since these November maps are only out for 2 weeks and mainly just issued as a bridge from the Halloween Maps to the Holiday Maps, the Resort normally just pulls some old generic images of a ride from their archives.  This time they went above and beyond.  These covers should have been the maps this Summer.  These covers are much more visually appealing than the Cars Truck.  Kudos to Disney for some awesome maps for this short time period.

Now this question, since the new Stars Wars event opens November 16th which is around the same time the Holiday offerings comes out (November 13th), will we see a Stars Wars Cover or a Generic Holiday Cover on the Disneyland Map?  We’ll see soon…

They are also finally back to the normal map coding. Codes on these new maps are DLP-110215-ENG and DCA-110215-ENG

Today the 2015 Halloween maps were released.  I wish they would do something other than Haunted Mansion Holiday and Tower or Terror but I also get that those are their two main Halloween attractions.  The Disneyland Map is using the same exact cover from 2013 but California Adventure used a different angle and a nightime lighted up version of Tower of Terror.  Also, a interesting use of codes for these two maps.  Disneyland’s code is Guidemap_DLP_Halloween and California Adventure forgot to change the code on theirs and is using the same one from the Summer maps – DCA-071815-ENG.  Halloween Time runs until November 1st so I would assume we’ll see new maps November 2nd that will run only two weeks until Holiday Time starts on November 13th.  Happy Halloween Time! 🙂

Well, I was really hoping we would get some new covers for the Summer 2015 maps but the Resort decided to stick with the ‘Paint The Night’ and ‘World of Color.’  It’s disappointing that there is no reference to the 60th or Diamond Celebration on the cover of the maps like they did with the 50th Anniversary or even with the “Year of a Million Dreams.”  Heck, they could have even just left the Diamond Celebration Guide Maps headers at the top of each map on there from the special one day July 17th maps.  I’m assuming these guides will stick through the Summer.  Perhaps we’ll see some new ones for September but I’m guessing these will stick around until the Halloween Time maps arrive.

The codes are DLP-071815-ENG & DCA-071815-ENG
