Magic Kingdom's Park Map shows Disney World is "A Place Where Everyone is Welcome"

Magic Kingdom’s Park Map shows Disney World is “A Place Where Everyone is Welcome“. One thing Disney is very good at is showing that Everyone is Welcome at a Disney Property. Recently, Walt DIsney World Resorts has been updating its Park Maps with photos that feature the differences between us all in a positive light. Hollywood studios featured a child with a prosthetic leg on the cover. Now we have a brand new Magic Kingdom map featuring a person with Down Syndrome.

So we celebrate Disney on this one! Showing a person with an Extra Chromosome on the cover of the Park Map may not seem like much to you or me right now, but it absolutely means the world to families with Down Syndrome. It probably means more to a person with Down Syndrome being shown in a positive light in media today. Sometimes Disney can miss on issues like showing masks on the map, but one thing Disney is amazing at is making sure everyone and I mean everyone is welcomed.

Magic Kingdom’s Park Map

In 87 percent of families, everyone expressed feeling love for members with Down syndrome, who in turn expressed love for the other family members; in 83 percent, everyone was proud of members with Down syndrome, who also felt pride in themselves.

We are proud of Disney for this. If you know someone with Down Syndrome you know how amazing and special they are, seriously have you ever received a hug from a person with Down syndrome? It is the most magical hug you have ever received, just a pure feeling of love!
