Herbie?

Actually, according to the blog, the only photoshop was the filter applied to make it look like a photo from 1969. Here's what they said:

Yellow Shoes Creative Group once again lived up to its name, with Disney Parks Blog Author and Photographer Matt Stroshane taking this picture at Magic Kingdom Park. (A trivia tidbit — Matt actually shot this photo on Paul McCartney’s birthday last week.) The Yellow Shoes production team secured props and other elements to make the scene as detailed as possible. All of the elements in the image are authentic and were on Main Street as they are seen here. The only photo enhancement by the Yellow Shoes production team is a “grainy” hint created in the final image to look more like a photo taken in 1969. Even the crosswalk and street lines are the real deal. Professional-grade thermoplastic, the thick, non-slip and reflective material used on actual streets and sidewalks everywhere, was placed on Main Street, U.S.A., for the temporary crosswalk and street lines that run down the middle of Main Street toward the trolley.

I suggest take a REAALLY Good look at the cross section of track and the white line right down the middle of it...The White line overlays the Track!! Just because they say does not mean it's true..If anyone was there during the day Herbie was sitting there they would see all those street lines..

No, you can put the tape itself down and take it up quickly , as by itself its not super sticky, we do it for car shoots all the time. What your supposed to do is take a blow torch to it once it's down to permanently adhere it to the concrete or asphalt, which they clearly didn't do as it looks like its floating.

My bigger concern is the really bad lighting they used on the characters ... they should have just let them light naturally ... they used pop strobe on them and now they appear to look like a bad photoshop cut out. Even for a quick shot they could have done something better than this.

It's more than likely this was done before the park opened to the public, and everything would have been removed.

Actually they wouldn't have seen anything, all of this was done before park opening.

We need time for things to happen.
I don't know why you're all going on about if it was photoshopped or not...I'm just sitting here in awe....All I'm saying is two of the things i love most in the world....the Beatles and WDW = complete awesomeness!
Not to mention they went quite a ways to make it look good with the people on the street in the background..the VW amazing stuff.

I am also a fan of the Beatles and Disney World. But awe? Really?

The cover of Abbey Road has been recreated so many times I can't work up much enthusiasm over a new one no matter how well-done it may be.

No need to be a Debbie Downer lebeau. ;) It's all good....I'm well aware it's been recreated a bunch of times -from the Red Hot EPs to Lizzie Mcguire episodes...what I'm in awe of is the fact it's WDW and the Beatles combined and done well - they could have really cheesed it out but it looks like they took a few extra steps and yeah 'Really' I'm excercising my right to be in "awe".

That's cool.

Admittedly, I get a bit crabby when I post from work.

No need to say another word! I'm right there with you brother...
I just spent half my day working on a 5 page "lessons learned" document for my boss ......when I could have been outside with my Ipad enjoying the weather and chit chatting with you guys! The real world and all this responsibility stuff s*cks ;)
