Last year I stumbled upon this YouTube video where a family photo bombs the Mattercam:
The Mattercam is a camera on the top of the Howard Johnson’s hotel next to Disneyland. “Back in the day” it provided a static image of the Matterhorn that would refresh from time to time. Today, it is a live video feed, and the camera pans to different locations every few minutes.
As of this writing (9/23/2022), here are the fourteen locations the camera will cycle, in this order:
- Matterhorn
- Space Mountain
- DCA Overview
- Mickey’s Fun Wheel
- Incredicoaster –
- Carsland –
- Guardians of the Galaxy –
- Grand Californian
- Monorail
- Esplanade
- Check-In Spot
- Disneyland Overview
- Bobsled Zoom
- Submarines
The Walt’s Chili Bowl family chose the “Check-In Spot” for their location. I thought it might be fun to pinpoint all the locations the Mattercam points to which could also offer photo bombing opportunities.
Unfortunately, I live in Iowa, so running down to the Disneyland Resort Area is not something I can easily do.
Any locals out there care to take this on?
