Have you ever used the Bird's Eye View in Microsoft Live Maps? Here are a few of our favorite landmarks...

Google Maps has street view for some parts of WDW, too.

I love these shots... they make great desktops too.

I need to get a few in high res.. that would rock.

Anyone know of a spy satellite can borrow

I'd tried the google maps for street level before. This is neat though, the bird's eye view!

jcodirewolf, i hadn't seen your mashup until now. i wonder if you can use the google earth application to create a fly-through of the parks...?

I started one of these a while back, labelling all the attractions, etc. I should probably finish it one day.

(It centres on Epcot to start with, if you drag the map up to find the Magic Kingdom, that's labelled too. MGM and DAK aren't.)

if you download microsoft live maps, you can use the 3D version which is much cooler, but slower loading.

Looking at EPCOT, passing through backstage makes me sad & mopey.

You can actually get a pretty good look at it from ground level. I'll leave it up to the reader to work out the best means of approach from the aerial view...
