30+ Aerial photos of WDW from 1979

Those pictures definitely look like the real thing to me. Of course, I'm no expert. But I highly doubt Imagineers would take the time to put dirt on the roof of each building. Some of the little details are just too perfect to be models, IMO.

Great pics! :sohappy:

Now im going to be looking at the satellite photos for an hour, Im not going to get any work done today! I keep looking at that prime spot for a new land at epcot. I wish they would have put in spain like they had planned in the beginning. Its amazing how detailed the photos from space are. I wish you could get updated ones monthly.

I thought that picture looked real, the only questionable thing I wondered about was how there didn't appear to be any cabs on the skyway. Didn't those cabs run pretty close to each other?

018 is definitly NOT a fake.

The lighting is what shows it. If it was a model with different lights in the room the castle would have more than one shadow going more than one way.

The picture does look too perfect to be true, but I think it is real. That is the magic of Disney...everything there looks too perfect to really exsist!!!

Next time you are flying in a plane, look out the window. EVERYTHING looks fake!

The picuture is real. 'Nuff said.

Those photos of Main Street USA are awesome. Nos. 10 through 12 show the dumpster where the leftover hot dogs from what is now Casey's Corner are thrown out every night and on the other side, the ODF garage, the secret theater and the mini-lunch room! :sohappy: :sohappy:

**okay, so some things are more exciting to some people than others! :wave: :lol: **

Someday I'll tell you the story of Gary Glasses, then you will better understand!

#18 is not fake at all. Just look at the people and everything else in it, if you actually inspect the picture, you'd realize they are all real. Again, THANKS!
