Christmas card pic at Disneyland

[Pinocchio #1 Fan]

DW and I will be at Disneyland next week, and want to take a nice pic for the Christmas card, and not the tried and true "in front of the snowy castle" shot. Anyone have any ideas? The crazier and more off the wall the better!

Toon Town has a lot of crazy/funny props for pictures.

While not off the wall, the area with curved stairs over by New Orleans Square, called "Court des Anges" (behind the shops) is always a nice backdrop.

Here is a thread on this exact Christmas card subject from a couple of weeks ago - that has many good ideas:

And also scroll through the very popular "Disney at Christmas" superthread for photo ideas. You don't have to read the whole thread - but the photos are wonderful!

There is a wishing well in Fronterland. We have taken a photo there and it was fun. We put the camera in front of the well and we stood behind it. It came out cute and was different.

This is a fantastic shot! Where was this and how did you get all the characters together?

Thank you! This is inside the Mr. Lincoln theater (if that's what it's called) back in 2008 when they were showing the First 50 Years movie narrated/hosted by Steve Martin. It was an extremely rainy day when we got to the park so we headed in there since I heard that's where the fab 7 characters would be. The characters came in in shifts like normal. We were in there basically by ourselves for literally hours playing tag, rolling on the floor, trying to play hide and seek really just having a great time! During this time I made friends with the CM in charge of the characters and I just asked her if there would be any way to get a picture with all 7 together. She worked her disney magic and made it happen! I couldn't believe it! After playing with the characters for hours right as we were getting lined up for the picture my then 2 year old decided to have a melt down (it was also nap time). Since then my DD who is now 4 genuinely believes the characters are her personal friends. I got the picture printed as an 8x10 and the next time we went to DL I got a mat and had all the characters sing it for us. Also in the pic is my DD 9 (at the time, now 11) and my mom.
