DISNEYWORLD IN 3-D

Hey everyone,

Now you can see DisneyWorld in 3-D. Using the Google Earth program, you can fly through the Magic Kingdom, other parks and the resorts. You can click on attractions and get more info. The images are so exact that you can read the menu board at some of the outdoor counter service restaurants!!

Go to this link to get more info and a link to download the latest version of the FREE Google Earth software. I've done it already and it is SOOO COOL!!

SAMPLE IMAGES AND TOUR VIDEO.....

(Here is more info about it.)

Now can tour realistic re-creations of Disney's Florida theme parks and resorts simply by clicking your computer mouse. Computer users will click on maps that show about 1,500 rides, restaurants and attractions in 3-D.

"It's a virtual walk-through of the whole property … the most amazing virtual tour of any place in the world," Walt Disney Parks and Resorts chairman Jay Rasulo says.

The map began with eight photographers who canvassed every inch of Disney World for 10 days. Then their images were rendered in 3-D.

Click on Space Mountain, for instance, and you can view a video of the ride and get information such as height requirements. Put your mouse on the Grand Floridian and a video of the resort pops up. You also can check availability and rates and make a reservation.

For now, the map shows only exteriors. In the future, Web visitors can stroll into Cinderella's Castle or walk into a room at a Disney resort. Photographers are at work to map Disneyland Resort Paris (Euro Disney); other Disney properties may be next.

love you,

Uncle Shawn & Mr. Ted
