I can't wait to see how it developes "exterior shots will be featured with interiors to be added later " For now I think live satilite maps are way better, but maybe I'm missing something.

they are adding interiors too? wow. I really don't understand why they didn't just sell cd-roms of this...it would have been a huge seller. or even ship it with the vacation planner. Now all they need to do is convert these skins/3-D models to WOW, Battlefield 2 etc....could you imagine encountering Disney in WOW...or imagine "Grand Theft Auto: Disney's Mousacre". sad indeed. the Monorail has just been Carjacked? monojacked? I truly don't understand the need for that game. (new thread idea)

I enjoy the 3d maps because I've never been to Disney world. And it makes the layout more understandable. They need it for Disneyland so I can visit there all the time too :)

Do they have live satellite imagery of Disney somewhere? Like stuff that isn't just a still photo from a year ago??

I downloaded Google Earth specifically for this. I really enjoy it because it is so much like being there.

I've also explored other places. I zoomed in on one photo in Albuquerque and stood right in front of my in-laws' house. It was kinda cool.

I've "walked through" using their 3-D version, but virtual tours sounds soooo awesome!
