Staycation: Google Earth-style
2008 June 5
With the cost of gas and everything else skyrocketing out of control, you and your family might not have the money necessary to take that big trip to Walt Disney World this year, and might be planning a “Staycation”.
But, there’s no need to disappoint the little kiddies (who would probably rather sit in front of their glowing computer screens anyway) … Have a Staycation, Google Earth-style!
Google Earth has mapped every inch of the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, so you can take a virtual tour of each of the Disney Theme Parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom) as well as the resorts around the parks.
Go through the steps on the Disney website, turn the mouse over to your kids and let them run wild …
This is a fun idea! I’m going to share it with my friends. We are all documenting our staycations this year – feel free to join us! http://wearestorytellers.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/07/welcome-to-our.html
