Can’t make it to Disney this year? Get prepared for next year by touring the park in 3-D on Google Earth! Disney’s four theme parks and 22 hotel locations are now available for a virtual excursion 24 hours a day. Visitors will find 1,500 3D points of interest that allow them to click on images to get more information, purchase tickets, make reservations or map their upcoming vacation.
The journey begins at the Seven Seas Lagoon in the Magic Kingdom – from here users can fly virtually just about anywhere in the park viewing streetscapes as they go. To take advantage of this excellent new technology you’ll need to have Google Earth 4.3 installed on your local computer. From there all you need to do is search for "Disney World".
In the first phase of the virtual Disney project eight photographers worked for 10 days to shoot all of the surfaces in the Magic Kingdom. Over 100,000 photos were taken to compile the 1,500 3D points of interest – a massive undertaking.
Disney will use the 3-D technology as their primary online travel guide in the future combining elements into the online experience at disney.com. They hope to make this the next best thing to actually being at the park.
Please contact The British Homes Group if you are interested in purchasing Buy to Let properties in the Disney area.
