I have, but it wasn't that far in the swamp...
Yay Google Earth! /s
That's the new Disney sponsored immigration detention centre, Mouschwitz.

Damm, that's dark. I laughed out loud at this.
Same think happened with Tulum. Google Maps kept giving me the wrong address in the state of Tabasco rather than Quintana Roo in the southern tip of Mexico a few years ago. I tried to correct it but it was denied despite my evidence and good record.
I've been there once. The most memorable thing was coming out of a ride about the 4th day I was there, seeing it was 4:50pm, going into a gift shop to buy an umbrella then walking out of the gift shop right as it started raining becsuse it pretty much rained every single day at 5pm.
It's also so humid, it's kinda hard to breathe until you get used to it.
Cool cool!
I only have one particular outstanding memory from there, when I was 5 years old, back in 1987.
I was in their Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum, or whatever you wanna call that anyways, next to a supposedly real shrunken head.
Believe it or not? Well phuck I dunno, but I still have the photo of me as a kid standing right next to it..
I did also enjoy the Rainforest Cafe they had there. Not the food or anything, just the atmosphere cuz it went all out with the theme the way all the lines for the rides do. Felt like eating under that big tree from Avatar (except Avatar didn't exist yet).
I also remember riding the teacup ride, that was actually fun for my half blind ass at the age of 5.
So you're new to reading maps? Is that the joke? Because the resort is the collection of all the various parks. Magic Kingdom is just to the north, Epcot is off to the east a bit, Hollywood Studios (now a part of Disney) is to the southeast, just south of Epcot, Blizzard Beach is mostly south and a little west, Animal Kingdom is south west, the Disney Golf courses are northwest. This point is basically the centeroid of all of those places because none of them are Disney World alone, they are only Disney World in the collective. It's not like Disneyland, which is a single park in the middle of town. Yes, they built in a swamp. What you've zoomed into is undeveloped land that I'm pretty sure Disney owns.
So, yes, that is Disney world, but I wouldn't send you a closeup of my nipple if you asked for a selfie.
You’re both right. It feels like a google maps glitch. I get the same view, but if you zoom out a bit, the pin is indeed right in some woods in between the parks.
The more I think on this, the more I see the actual issue.
Walt Disney World Resort is obviously a pretty large area, so you'd think that Google Earth ought to recognize that and automatically zoom out a bit to show the whole area, not just a pinpoint out in the sticks..
It only does this for things (usually municipal or government related) with a well defined, continuous, and singluar boundary. Search for nearby Lake Buena Vista, City of Orlando, or Orange County and Google Earth behaves exactly that way. But Disney's land holdings are likely not completely contiguous.
Logically most people would want to see the boundary of all the Disney things when they search for Disney World, but that's also not a real region with a well defined simple boundary Google can show and so it doesn't. Google Earth can represent points (or geolocated 3D buildings that are essentially points), lines (like roads), polygons, and elevation. In fact, you can force Google to do this by collecting the pins of various locations into a list. When you select the list, Google zooms to the level that shows them all. But Google Maps would be the tool to search for "all the Disney properties" or "all the burrito places near me" to get quick and made to order lists like this, Google Earth simply isn't built to to that.
Its friggin weird error ain't it?
I'd figure that as advanced as technology has become, that Google Earth ought to know the vast size of Disney World and automatically zoom out a bit to show the whole place, not just a random pinpoint out in the sticks.
So no, it's not me that can't read maps, it's Google Earth that doesn't know how to display them. I didn't zoom in or out for the screenshot, that's just where Google Earth landed, a single point out in the sticks..

Okay
because it's made up of universal, epcot, and magic kingdom; each their own places.
Yes, I know. Yes, I've been there before.
You'd figure in the year 2026, with all the advanced technology we have today, that Google Earth might be smart enough to automatically zoom out to show the whole area, not just the pinpoint average center out in the sticks..
