the shape of the lake is actually part of a game really only known to disney world employees called “hidden mickeys” where mickeys are purposly made or involuntarily and in just about every single building you will be able to find one even on major structures wether its the tiles on the floor or an engraving in the cement.

That’s definitely a pond in the middle of the racetrack, Duane. It’s smack in the middle of the infield.

Walt Disney World Resort is definitely a big place!

Here is a shot of the unfinished Disneyland park being built in Hong Kong’s Lantau Island.

Perhaps we can capture a picture of the park now. As the park will open later this year (Sept), it will be interesting to see a picture from before and after (once Google makes another scan of Hong Kong again)

MGM is in the low-res section of that map. If memory serves, it’s the developed area SW of Epcot, right next to the main road heading north to Magic Kingdom. Same scenario for Animal Kingdom. You can find it due west of MGM. The extreme northern boundary of the park begins to come into the hires view.

I found Epcot first on my own before I new of this site and then used the Monorail to get to the Magic Kingdom. You can do the reverse from the Contemporary Hotel to the South-East of the Magic Kingdom. Anyone found MGM??

I’m not sure that is a Mickey pond. I think it’s more like a big sign or decoration at the racetrack where they have the Richard Petty Driving Experience. Yes, Disney World is a huge place. That’s the parking lot for the Ticket and Transportation Center immediately north of the racetrack. The Magic Kingdom is farther north, on the other side of the lagoon…

Epcot is at a strange intersection of maps of varying resolutions…

We searched for Disneyland and Disney World over and over and it kept putting us in Kansas (the default center of the U.S. I guess)… glad to have found it!

Very cool. I live very close to that.

The racetrack that surrounds the pond used to host NASCAR & IRL events; it’s now only used by the Richard Petty Driving Experience, which allows you to drive a stock car yourself… looks like they were on-track that day.

Thanks Mike but I’m not enough of a perfectionist to edit the post a second time
