I wonder if they took the picture today how many CM's would be in it if you included all four parks.

I recall hearing something about Disney employs about 60,000 people in the Orlando area. ; You'd need a super wide lense!

18mm lens and a big ladder is all you need, oh and Disney helping get everyone in place.
