June 5, 200817 yr We are Disney nuts in my house. We go every year to DisneyWorld on vacation. This new feature from Google is awesome and so much fun! BURBANK, Calif. - Tourists overwhelmed by the mind-boggling size of Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla., will now be able to plan their tour with the help of a 3D Google Earth map created by The Walt Disney Co. The map of the four theme parks and 22 hotels at Disney World shows souvenir shacks, merry-go-round horses and even benches for resting. Google Earth, an interactive 3D mapping program, allows users to create travelogues by embedding photos, videos and commentary about locations they highlight. Disney called its entry the largest corporate initiative on Google Earth. About 100,000 shots from eight photographers went into 1,500 three-dimensional images of a variety of structures at Disney World, the company said Thursday. Disney's Google Earth entry also contains links to blogs and YouTube videos and information on everything from the minimum rider height for certain attractions to menus at different restaurants. Nearly nine in 10 park guests plan their vacations online, Disney said. "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," resorts Chairman Jay Rasulo said in a statement.

I believe that, but I still believe you can't get anyone pregnant from the bottom... It's laws of gravity, it's impossible!
