Google Earth and Walt Disney Resorts Team Up to Create Disney in 3D


Google Earth and Walt Disney Resorts have teamed up to create Disney in 3D. The 3D tour includes 3D views of all four Theme Parks and over 20 Disney Resort hotels, you can zoom down Main Street, USA®, fly around Cinderella Castle, explore Spaceship Earth and climb the Tree of Life.

This tour will transform how you plan your Disney vacation, offering attraction descriptions, videos and photos, and links to menus, event calendars, and tickets and reservations.

"This is the most detailed 3D rendering undertaken within Google Earth to date,” said Jay Rasulo, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.“The work done here will provide a professional counterpart to the wealth of Disney images and 3D models from around the world contributed by thousands of volunteers. The difference Walt Disney World Resort in 3D provides is one of scope and interaction.”

3Dwalkthroughs.com spent some time this morning sufing around 3D Disney and must say that it is a pretty cool way of checking out the park without actually being there. The site definitely takes advantage of Googles recent 3D upgrade.
