Walt Disney World Resort & Google Earth Team-up To Launch 3-D Park Maps

[DisneyWizard]

I'm excited about this! Walt Disney World Explorer 2008.

[Figment!]

How do I access the 3D images? I went to disneyworld.com/3dparks, but it just took me to Disney World's main page.

It doesn't appear that the service has launched yet.

Check back at that address later today ...

Okay, thanks for the quick reply. I deleted the post that you quoted before I saw your reply because I realized the answer myself after seeing 3d images elsewhere.

Walt Disney World in 3-D Official Site

Looks like so far they are still testing and trying things out. Part of Italy and the Swan and Dolphin Hotels look to be the two only things in 3-D so far on Google Earth. The Swan and Dolphin looks impressive though...

It must have been a short test. There is nothinng but a coming soon message there now.

Sorry if my post seemed a little vague. The two 3-D buildings are already on Google Earth with the new version. The official site as far as I know hasn't changed from that coming soon message yet.

I am not getting 3D images of the buildings and I have 4.3...

If you're referring to the 3D swan and dolphin as well as the 3D Cinderella Castle, those have been there for a while.

This will be very cool. I can't wait to se it.

Just as a head's up, this launched tonight and is really cool

Notice how the north garden wing is not in 3-D

I checked it out this morning. It's cool, but uses a LOT of resources. I checked and Google Earth was using up 1.3G of memory to run this. Navigation can be a little choppy. Has anyone ever tried using a joystick for this?

[GrumpyFan]

I spent a little time playing with it this morning, and it's quite cool! However, as pointed out, it is very demanding on your computer. I've got a Dual Processor with 2g of memory, and it was still choppy and slow at times.

[WDWfanatic742]

For some reason it is alot more laggy for me then it was this morning. Could be that alot more people are using GE at the same time

I can't get it to work at all... I have the latest version, I've got the "golden mickey ears" and I'm clicking on the "see WDW in 3D" icon... but then nothing happens. Anyone else? Our computer is a dinosaur, and it's running very hard when I've got Google open... maybe it just can't handle it?
