1.  How were these pictures taken?

The images were taken by the U.S. Geological Survey, part of the U.S. Department of the Interior.  These posters have on a common scale, about 100 feet per inch.  They also have a resolution of about 8 inches, which is why they are so clear and is how you can see individual people on the ground.

Sky Magic has obtained permission from the U.S.G.S. to use these images, and our technical team has spent more than 100 painstaking hours digitally processing these images to acheive the most brilliant, high quality color prints possible.

2.  When were they taken?

The image used in Walt Disney World posters (Epcot and the Magic Kingdom) was taken on April 26, 2002, so Mission: Space was still being built and the 20,000 Leagues Sub Lagoon was still there.

The image used for the Disneyland / Disney's California Adventure poster was taken in December of 2003, when the Tower of Terror was still under construction and Space Mountain was in the process of becoming white again.

The Stanford University image was taken on February 7, 2004, just weeks before the demolition of the historic Encina Gymnasium.

3.  Are you going to have posters of other colleges or universities?

Yes, if there is interest.  Please check soon for new additions to our product line.

(Note that if you interested in a poster of specific school, please write to us and let us know here.  The colleges with the most interest will be the ones that we produce first!)

4.  Are you going to have posters of other Disney parks?

Not in the near future. The current set of posters were created from images taken by a U.S. government agency, so that leaves out Tokyo and Paris.  And, unfortunately, the image set we used ends just south of Epcot - so no Disney Studios or Animal Kingdom posters either.

However, since a number of you have asked for posters of these other parks, we're are checking whether we can get images from other sources to create those new posters.  Even if we can find images that meet our quality level, licensing and processing these images may take several months, so do not expect these posters any time soon, if at all.

5.  Are you going to have posters of other non-Disney theme parks?

Maybe.  We have considered some of the other Florida non-Disney parks, such as Sea World and Universal Orlando, but we haven't found nearly as much interest in posters of those parks.  However, if we get enough interested buyers for posters of those parks, we may go ahead and create them for you.

6.  I don't have a PayPal account.  Can I still make a purchase?
