Google Earth - Disney World Virtual Tour - Orlando Florida

I am a big fan of Google Earth and even a bigger fan of Disney World. So, this news is very exciting. Disney has uploaded a virtual tour of Disney World in Orlando, Florida (FL). Once you download Google Earth, and type in "Disney World, Orlando Florida", the world will zoom in to Disney. Then you need to click on the Gold Mickey Mouse ears to start the tour. You also need to make sure you have the latest version of the download (4.3)

I don't have a trip planned to Disney, but it is nice to reminisce with the kids with a fly over view of Disney.

TiVo and CinemaNow team up to offer Disney Movies

Tivo's market share has been falling quarter after quarter so it looks like they are trying something new. Tivo and CinemaNow have teamed up and will start allowing Tivo users to download (rent) movies from Disney's Studios.

You will be able to download the movie for a fixed price and it will stay on your Tivo box for 24 hours (similar to the cable company offerings). The prices will range from $3-$4 dollars depending on the age of the movie.

Earlier in the year Tivo annouced that they will alow Tivo users to subscribe to watch video content from the Web on their TV's.

Here's a list of Tivo Products in case this announcement has enticed you to want to get one.
