WOW! That Google Earth link is so cool! I was even able to find my house with it. Granted it wasn't 3-D but still cool all the same! I think everyone should check out that link! A way to go to WDW without being there. Good way to day dream at the office

Another round of updates:
- A new Grand Marshall vehicle debuted at the Magic Kingdom, which has Hidden Mickeys in its tires. Look for it at the daytime parades. - Numerous celebrities have been at WDW, including Juan Luis Guerrera, BethAnn Bonner, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, Mandy Moore, Kobe Bryant and Chef Paul Bocuse. - Rumors are circulating about a re-design of WDW MK's Fantasyland, including a Little Mermaid attraction and a Snow White Mine Car Coaster. (Wow!) - In fall 2011, a family-friendly Monsters, Inc. coaster at DHS will open. - Space Mountain wil go down for an extensive refurb around January. They may even take the top of the mountain off and start from scratch, but I must admit I'm sketchy on details and can't promise anything. TTFN - Ta-Ta-For-Now

Fantasyland is epic! That is incrediable news. As for the space mountain, I hope they don't mess with it too much. Like make the coaster cars different. Don't do that. Ever. That's one of the best things about the ride. The Monster Inc thing is cool but so what? Not as epic as Fantasyland being refurbished.
I'm gonna do some more research into the Fantasyland. Looking mainly for concept art of the final layout. Hope they don't take away Winnie the Pooh. After that I don't really care. My main interest is in the Frontier-Adventure categories of the park.

I found some details, but these are from May:
"ok....on the topic of the space mountain refurbishment, many of you loyal MCer's have been wondering when and what will be happening. Here is what I know based on the last few weeks of talking to the Test and Adjust crew, Imagineers, and the structural engineers. Keep in mind thes are not absolutely in stone, but this is what is in store as of now. The queue will be the same, but updated with new projections and interactive games (think Soarin' but cooler). The entire track will be replaced with new higher guaged steel, but the layout WILL NOT change - this includes new brakes and conveyors of course, and new main lift chain. Digital projections will be placed in the ride area (there are already a few currently in place) with some new effects. The load area will be enclosed so you cannot see the ride area, but there will be star effects on the new load ceiling. New rocket trains with audio soundtrack will make an appearance (they will still be single seaters like the current ones). Quick reset conveyors to help make downtimes less time consuming. Slight re-themeing of the unload area to make you feel like you truly just pulled into a space port. The post show area is still up for debate - it may change or stay the same....no news yet. This is what i know for now and i will keep y'all updated the best i can. Also, the refurb is still scheduled for january 2009 and may even get moved up to november 2008 depending on attendance and such....more to come"
