What time does the Magic pass the Two Palms webcam?

[Grumpy's Mom]

I can't remember if the ship leaves PC at 5 or 5:30 -- we only have 482 more days, and I am finding myself addicted to these boards once again...........

 

[staylor]

I've been watching since 5:00 and have not seen it yet.

 

[Grumpy's Mom]

Okay, thanks. I just didn't want to be sitting here for no good reason like the idiot I am....although I am not finding hidden mickeys in things just yet.........

 

[staylor]

I don't know, I'm beginning to think I'm an idiot. I'll keep watching for a bit longer.

I guess we missed it. I cannot imagine how, but oh well.
Maybe next time.

She usually goes by about 5:40 EDT. If I remember correctly it was closer to 6:00 last week. I'm still watching. The port cam is stuck again.

 

[Grumpy's Mom]

I know, that port cam is infuriating sometimes...I sent an email to the news station once, but no reply!!

I'll keep watching!

 

[staylor]

Finally, at 17:46. Yeah!!!

 

[Grumpy's Mom]

YEAH!!!! So Exciting!!!!!!!

I tried to capture a copy of the first frame. I don't know if it worked or not.

The "Magic" just went by at 5:45! I get excited every time I see it and have only cruised on the "Wonder".

How do you capture the image?

 

[Grumpy's Mom]

Staci, I just figured it out -- too late, but maybe next week.

Go down to the bottom of the TwoPalms web page and click on "Terms of Use". The "Rights and Restrictions" paragraph has a link to beach.jpg, which will take you to a blank page with only the webcam frame. However, THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART - you have to do that when the Magic appears, as I can't get this page to refresh, nor does the picture refresh automatically every 6 seconds.

Put your cursor over the picture and right click. You should get a menu that will allow you to save the picture as.........

Can I ask what you all are talking about "two palm trees"? lol and when someone is saying dh or dd or dw...what does that mean also??? lol sorry for the ignorance....

 

[TooPure4u]

hopefully this isnt a repeat .... but what is the "two palm tree" thing and what is dh or dd or ds ????? i see it is a repeat...sorry, my computer said the site wasnt responding...

 

[Grumpy's Mom]

TooPure4u - don't worry about double posting, happens to the best of us.

Two Palms is a webcam that is installed just down the coast from PC (Port Canaveral). If you are patient, you can see the Magic pass by after it has left PC. I couldn't remember what time the Magic generally departs, and didn't want to be staring at the Two Palms screen at 5:20 if the Magic had already passed.

There is also a Port Canaveral webcam which is usually focused on the Disney Terminal, but yesterday was focused elsewhere (how dare they?) and stuck at about 4:30 p.m.

DD, DS, etc. refer to "(D)arling or (D)isney" + (H)usband, (W)ife, (D)aughter, (S)on, etc.
