Is The Earth A Flat Round Disc or Is It a Round Spherical Globe?

Yes, I think we all agree that water finds it's own level, thus you need to prove that the water bends to the surface of the earth...

Yes, the water follows the mean surface of the Earth.  Water must curve on a spherical Earth.

380 feet of missing curvature (image below). 

How do you propose to rigorously detect this curvature (or lack of it) without vacuum ?

Yes, and there's a well known experiment that has already been done which proves the earth isn't rotating, which is the Michelson–Morley experiment!

What about the Foucault pendulums ?

Here's an amateur rocket launch, which uses a non-fish-eye lens, and reaches an amazing height of 120,000 feet showing the earth is flat as a pancake!

Actually, the down-looking GoPro camera on that rocket had a fish-eye lens.  The sideways looking FlipHD camera - did not.
Full unedited videos from both cameras are here.

What about the Foucault pendulums ?

There are many videos of the midnight arctic sun, so I'm sure that they are not fakes and none of them agree with the globe model.  Here's an excellent video on the midnight sun that can be used as a visual aid if you have a hard time visualizing this.

If the earth were a globe rotating on a tilted axis as we have been taught, then from inside of the arctic circle near the outer edge where the sun is visible 24 hours a day in the summer time we should see the suns path as a clockwise rotating oval, not the up and down that is observed.

The sun supposedly travels east to west across the sky because of the direction of the earth's rotation. At night in the arctic circle we would be moving in the opposite direction in relation to the sun, so if we could see the sun at night (which we can from inside the arctic circle) then the sun would appear to be traveling the sky from west to east.

So what we should see if the earth were a globe is the sun traveling from east to west then slowing and lowering and eventually changing direction to form an oval. This is not what we see.  So the globe is debunked.

If the earth were a globe aprox. 25,000 miles in circumference, a plane traveling at 300 mph in a straight forward east west trajectory at the equator would be gaining altitude at a rate of 8" x 300m x 300m = 6000 ft. an hour = 1.14 miles an hour = 100 ft. a minute = 1.67 ft. per second.

This rate would increase exponentially the further north or south you get away from the equator due to the smaller circumference of the globe earth near the poles when traveling in a strictly east to west direction.  So unless pilots are constantly adjusting for curvature and pointing the nose slightly downward in order to compensate (which they aren't because the earth is flat) they would be constantly gaining altitude.

If we were on a spinning globe then people in north America should be being pulled slightly southward (northward in Australia) by the centrifugal force which would be pulling us outward at a 90 degree angle from the axis of rotation which from our perspective would be slightly south. We would always be a little off balance. 

This force should be easily detected and measured if it existed but it isn't and it hasn't because it doesn't exist.

Lunar eclipses sometimes happen when the sun and moon are both visible in the sky, this proves that it is not the earth's shadow causing the eclipses.

If we were on a spinning ball orbiting the sun that is orbiting the galactic center that is traveling through space at high speed, (which is not a uniform motion) we would be constantly changing direction, speeding up and slowing down and it would be noticeable.
