Originally Posted By llanatoye I went to Michaels and found a poster frame that was the exact size of the map. It looks very cool, and is protected. I have one in my office at work and one at home.

Originally Posted By rtrethewey I would be too concerned about damaging the map to try ironing it. You'd probably be best off just weighing it down on a flat surface for a few days. If you're seriously considering hanging one on a wall, you might invest in two sheets of 30x40" mat or poster board to sandwich the map while you "press" it. Then you could use those materials when you hang it. Just a thought.

I haven't checked out the selection since they switched locations (if they even still do it?), but I think they should have something. I would check in the Disney Gallery on Main Street or at the World of Disney in Downtown Disney. I know they had maps during the 50th, but I really haven't checked much since then. I think they would be about $40-50 if they still had them, but they're on really nice sturdy paper.
