The fun doesn’t stop at Disney World either, 11 of Disney’s parks will now be available to look at through Google Maps. That’s a lot of new square footage and a lot of castles. In a sense, the functionality allows users to enjoy the parks without crowds. In another sense, it provides something more like a slideshow experience than like the genuine artifact. The most amusing element of the new Street View is all the individual images of tourists and vacationers doing a double-take at the Google guy walking around with a 3D camera on his back. They don’t have expressions precisely — Google blurs out faces on Street View for legal and ethical reasons — but one does still get a sense of their shock at finding the panopticon in line for Space Mountain.
