New 360 Video of Walt Disney World Resort Debuts on Facebook – You Control the Experience

November 13, 2015

From Victoria Lim, Managing Editor, Walt Disney World Public Relations and posted on the Disney Parks Blog.

We’re excited to share a new video experience that takes you into all four Walt Disney World Resort Parks right from your mobile device. And the coolest part: you control what you’re seeing.


It’s called spherical video technology, or 360 Video. You can find it posted today on the Walt Disney World Facebook page:

As you can see, Goofy leads us through a helpful – if a bit accidental – tour, with a glimpse of thrilling heights, stunning sights, and a few familiar friends. You control the full-circle scenes across Magic Kingdom Park, Epcot,Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios by simply moving your device to see the angles you want. You can also place your finger on the screen and move it in the direction you’d like to see. It’s an all-new way to explore The Most Magical Place on Earth, and the next-best view to visiting us in person!

The Walt Disney World Resort 360 Video was developed and produced in collaboration with Littlstar Media Inc., a Disney Accelerator company.

What was your favorite part of Goofy’s tour?
