The Walt Disney World Resort has a new home, and that is Google Earth.
Users who download the latest version of Google Earth will be able to tour all four of the resort's theme parks and hotels.
On top of that, the models will be linked to Disney's online tools for planning travel and vacations, making searching and booking a seamless experience.
For the first phase of the project, eight photographers worked for 10 days, taking over 100,000 pictures. These pictures were the basis for the 1,500 ed models comprising the virtual tour.
More information about the House of Mouse's new virtual digs can be found at www.disneyworld.com/parks.
