I notice several helicopters flying over the property every time I'm there (especially when I'm in the computer pool at POP, LOL!). Could these be going from MCO to downtown? Medical helicopters? They seem to be in a hurry, not sightseeing...I am naive on this subject, does Disney have some type of agreement with the state regarding planes or helicopters over the resort? It just seems there would be a ton of tourist companies selling flights over if not. I have never seen a lot of air traffic over the parks. Whats the story?
Cool pic BTW

I have never seen a heli over MK or EP - they all tend to skirt round the edge of the restricted zone because I guess they have limited time on a pleasure flight from I-Drive or 192.
Not sure when I'll be flying yet, but over the next three or four weeks for sure and I'll make sure on here get to see them all ASAP!!!
Wow, just stumbled across my old aerial thread from 2 years ago - http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/aerial-shots-of-the-parks.833264/ - some more pics in there.
Still plenty of time if you have requests of specific areas or close-ups - I'll do my best!

My request is that you take me with you! It's always been a dream of mine to take aerial shots of the parks. I wonder if there is some kind of service I could hire to fly me around? Very cool that you do it yourself! I did some aerial work in photo school and it was a blast, I'd be so excited to add Disney to that portfolio.

The following were pictures taken from a Helicopter launching from Rte. 192. At the time (I don't know about now) they were not allowed to fly over MK, but were able to do so for Epcot, DHS and other Disney places.

Don't ever change!Good points, I was just wondering. I would not want to see it even for free, I am nerdy enough to think there is no "behind" the scenes at WDW, it's all real!

I don't remember exactly what year I took those photos, but, it was no more then the middle of the first decade of the 2000's. 9/11 was still fresh and the pilot said, (I'm relying on memory here) that there was a no fly zone over MK only, but it was as a precaution against possible terrorist activity. We flew right over the top of all the other parks, but, didn't get any closer to MK then Epcot.
