| Walt Disney World from Google Earth Today I downloaded the beta version of Google Earth and searched for Walt Disney World. I was directed to my favorite place on earth via satellite. You can zoom right in close enough to identify Main Street, Splash Mtn... The countries at Epcot... it is really amazing viewed from the sky, it gives you a great perspective on the whole place. I was amazed at how large the service areas are and how close they are to the actual rides but not noticable from inside the parks! Check it out! Janet |

| Re: Walt Disney World from Google Earth I think WDW is one of the most amazing places to view on Google Earth, because of the sheer scale and the detail you get - you do spot so many things and I was amazed at how close the backstage areas to the main parks - and how big those areas are too!

| Re: Walt Disney World from Google Earth It's not a problem with your computer, it's a "problem" with their software.... There isn't a hi-def image of the southern portion of the property... Part of AK, MGM, Pop and All-stars are unviewable clearly. |

| Re: Walt Disney World from Google Earth I downloaded Google Earth the other day & loved playing with it. The only problem I had was when I put in Magic Kingdom, it kept taking me to Epcot. I found MK eventually, but it was confusing at first. Anybody else have this problem? [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] |

| Re: Walt Disney World from Google Earth I had troubles navigating to the Magic Kingdom at first also. Once you do find it however you can place a stick pin to mark it! I have push pins all over the world! Janet |
