It looks like Disney’s graphic designers took a shortcut with the new Disneyland map released this month and didn’t use a large enough photo for the cover. The cover photo — of the Main Street, U.S.A. Christmas tree — is so low quality, pixels are visible to the naked eye.
Disneyland Map Features Low-Quality Images
Digital artist Bree (@doodahlanding) pointed out the low-quality image in an X post, writing, “Losing my MIND at the quality of this photo on the Disneyland park map. How did this get approved!?” She shared a wider photo of the guidemap and a close-up photo showing the pixels. In a second post, she added, “And no, that is not because I zoomed in. It literally looks like this.”
X user @CapnVJ replied, “i checked the pdf on the disneyland website (same map) and the tree image is literally 290×652 px even on the pdf – definitely not just you!”
Click here for the PDF, where you can easily zoom in on the photo and see the drastic difference in quality between it and the rest of the map’s graphics.
Here’s a look at our own copy of the map, too. The pixelation is most noticeable on the Christmas tree and garland.
The Disneyland guidemap features not only a map of the park but also information about holiday offerings like special food and beverage items, safety tips, mobile order details, and more.

The picture just might not be linked within the final document they sent to the printer. Definitely unacceptable but the picture itself might have been fine. Had it been linked correctly in the file.
