Just want to make sure you understand that it's not a LIVE webcam, it's old stock footage from many years ago, but they arrange it so that the images are of about the same time of day as real-life (it's light when it's currently light in Orlando, it gets dark at the same time it gets dark today in Orlando, and so on).

No, I'm not aware of any similar service for the other parks.

There use to be many webcams throughout the parks. Disney used 9-11 as a nice excuse to shut them all down. There are no authorized (Disney) webcams running on-property anymore.

There are a few rogue cameras run by people on vacation from their villas on-site and occassionally some of us even run a live cam while walking in the parks. Google is your friend.

Yes not live, it states it right on the site.

Enjoy a view of Main Street U.S.A. anytime of the day. But remember, our Virtual Web Cam is NOT live. This is only a simulation of a Walt Disney World web cam. To learn exactly how we have set this up, visit our How It Works page for full details.

If it was live is the MK really open at 7:30 on any day.

Yes, as chartle pointed out, the text above the came states...

Enjoy a view of Main Street U.S.A. anytime of the day. But remember, our Virtual Web Cam is NOT live. This is only a simulation of a Walt Disney World web cam. To learn exactly how we have set this up, visit our How It Works page for full details.

Here is what our "How it works" page says...

Do you miss the Magic Kingdom web cam that Disney took down several years ago? We do. Unfortunately, it does not look like it is coming back anytime soon. So what is a Disney World fan to do!?! We have put our heads together here at WDWLIVE to solve this problem. Our solution is our very own Walt Disney World Virtual Web Cam.

Is this a LIVE web cam? Of course not. Only Disney could offer something like that. Instead, we offer you dynamic video footage looking down Main Street U.S.A. Depending on the time of day you visit our web cam, the video adjusts itself to (roughly) reflect real daylight conditions. Our unique algorithm also randomizes the video you see within the time block of your visit. And if you visit at just the right time, you might be lucky enough to get a glimpse of Share a Dream Come True, SpectroMagic or Wishes!

The footage was filmed over several trips to the World, starting in 2004 (like the near-empty Main Street video that plays late at night) and the latest being in September 2006 (that's why the Castle has the mirror but not all the spirals). In all there are about 300 clips and almost 4 hours of footage. Some clips play at specific times, like Share a Dream at about 3:10 pm, Spectromagic around 9:00 pm and Wishes at 10:00 pm. Other time periods have a set of clips (usually around 10 to 20) that randomly play (but not the same twice in a row). The SAME SET of 300 clips play every day.

The cam is not perfect. It will not match the sunlight conditions 100% perfectly, nor will it match the weather in anyway. In short, do not take the cam too seriously. It is just something that has been created for fun … something to give WDW fans (like myself) their greatly needed Walt Disney World "fix" ... to get that feeling of "being there" without actually being there. Enjoy it for what it is.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to post here and I will check back.

Hope my virtual Disney webcam brings a little bit of magic to your day

Although it's not "live", I think it's neat. Just watched a little bit of an empty Main Street at night with "Coney Island Baby" playing in the background. Very eerie.

I know there used to be a live cam on the radisson (I think) at Cape Canaveral that was aimed towards the port. It was fun to watch the ship come into and leave the area.

Reports from Greenland notwithstanding...

MK will be open at 7AM for EMH every day this week.

kinda OT but does anyone remember the guy (or kid, he was like 18 or 20) a few years back (probably 4 or 5) that had the semi live video feed from walking around the parks all day? He was trying to spend a whole year in the parks and was taping it as he went and uploading the images along the way? Wonder what ever happened to him and his site. Anyone know?

There is a website out there of a bunch of Disney fans that stream video from their rooms.
