Webcams at the parks

[doodleboy]

I am shocked that WDW doesn't have webcams in some areas of the parks so that we can view while we are not there. Any idea why they have not done this?

[Seasonscraps]

it would cost them money.

They used to, however for security reasons after 9/11 they were shut down. To the extent of my knowledge they were never redeployed.

Check out eyesonears or ustreamtv. There people set-up their own web cam at there resort. Some people take them in the parks.

There used to be a weather cam that looked towards Epcot from the Beach Club Resort area. I don't know if it's still live or not.

The website still exists, although it has a tendancy to go black for periods of time (read that as weeks). It used to be oriented toward the YC resort with EPCOT-SE in the distance. Lately, it has been oriented to show the Dophin resort. You can see it at:

Yep. I used to get such joy out of logging on & looking at the castle after our May '00 trip!

Me too. I loved looking at those cameras. If you looked at MK a 3:00pm you could see the parade on Main Street which was interesting.

Anybody know why they would have been considered a security risk? The definition wasn't exactly high quality.

wish they'd bring them back. I end up listening to live365 all the time for music from the parks

Tracy,

The answer to all three of your questions is - yes!

I remember the camera over main street - I know they had it as far back as 1996 as that is when I started to check out the WDW website...which has come a long way in the past 13 years! I miss the camera too and taking a live glace at Main Street USA!

I want to say there was also one at MGM...am I right?

I used to look at the Main Street web cam several times a day. It was always fun to catch it when the parade was going on or some other special event. I still have a couple of time lapse movies from that camera on my computer.

I too heard they were taken down for security reasons, but wouldn't it be a great marketing tool?

There was/is a webcam at the Swan & Dolphin that looks over the back of Epcot, towards the ball. But it does go black at times.
