You won’t need to ask Mickey for directions: Tourists overwhelmed by the mind-boggling size of Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla., will now be able to plan their tour with the help of a 3D Google Earth map created by The Walt Disney Co.
The map of the four theme parks and 22 hotels at Disney World shows souvenir shacks, merry-go-round horses and even benches for resting.
Google Earth allows users to create travelogues by embedding photos, videos and commentary about locations they highlight.
Disney’s Google Earth entry also contains links to blogs and YouTube videos and information on everything from the minimum rider height for certain attractions to menus at different restaurants.
Nearly nine in 10 park guests plan their vacations online, Disney said.
