It's called "tilt & shift". It emulates (simulates?) the look of an actual tilt and shift lens.
Here are a couple of links I found with a quick google search.

Amazing T&S Samples - If anyone is wondering what effect we're discussing take a look at these.

Tutorial - Don't know if it's the best way, but it seems to work.

I tried a few Disney-related ones myself a few years ago...it's a fun effect:

Downtown Disney and the Wyndam Palace hotel (from the Wyndam tower):

Marketplace:

Epcot Canada's Butchart Gardens:

So does anyone know if there is a program/way to accomplish this with Elements??? I couldn't find the Quick Mask on Elements so I used the "Search" function and it said "Not Available with Elements". I don't wanna have to go out and spend $$$$ on the actual Photoshop, (but I'm HIGHLY tempted to!!)

See this link for info. You'll have to dig but there seem to be tools that will meet your need.

There is also a Flicker discussion here that shows how to do it.

Have you looked into "hidden powers of photoshop elements"?
it unlocks more abilities and explains them all very well. I loved it when I had elements 2.

Three layers, one with saturation increased, one copy with some blur, another copy with more blur. Mask as appropriate.

Wow.. that's cool. I guess I've never run across pics like that, or I thought they were models lol

That is awesome!! Especially since sometimes upper vantage point shots like that sometimes show some unsightly roof tops and utilities.

These are so cool. Even more reasons to go play with my camera.
