Disney World goes virtual on Google Earth
(old news - 05:23PM Saturday Jun 07 2008)
The Walt Disney World Resort might now be considered the happiest place inside your computer with a new product, Walt Disney World Resort in 3-D, which will give users of Google Earth a three-dimensional model of the entire park.

Users will be able to tour all four of the resort's theme parks and hotels. The models will be linked to Disney's online tools for planning travel and vacations.

"Guests and travel planners can now explore our world with just a few clicks of a mouse, and they can book vacations while being immersed in what the destination has to offer," says Jay Rasulo, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, in a statement.

During the project's first phase, eight photographers worked for 10 days to shoot all the visible surfaces of Walt Disney World, including every building.

A total 100,000 photos were taken in all. These became the start for some 1,500 three-dimensional models that populate the virtual tour.

Users can get started by visiting www.disneyworld.com/3dparks.
