Google Earth + Disney = A Fan’s Dream Come True

May 16, 2008 at 12:48 pm · Filed under Disney, Technology, Travel, Theme Parks

Starting this month, you can tour realistic re-creations of Disneys Florida theme parks and resorts simply by clicking your computer mouse.
In a pioneering partnership aiming to go online Tuesday, Google Earth and Walt Disney Parks and Resorts will make it easy to take a virtual trip to Walt Disney Worlds Epcot Center, Animal Kingdom, Disneys Hollywood Studios and 22 Disney hotels and resorts.

Fans have been asking for something like this for years and it’s only going to get better in the future. Simply amazing.

Hi Rickey,
I tried to log on and see this since I believe you said it was going live on Tuesday. I got a “check back later” message. Any word on delays or when this may be up?
Love the podcast and the magazine.
Thanks,
Jeff from Cape Cod

Hey Rickey,

I’m still getting the check back soon message a week later. I’ve been a fan since your first podcast and one of the first subscribers to your magazine. Thanks for the magic you’ve created for all of us Disney fans!
