Family Photo Traditions?

[The Rovang 5]

I think we all pretty much do the iconic family-in-front-of-the-castle photo, but does your family have any other photo traditions you re-create every trip?

For some reason, we always get our three girls hanging out of Bruce's mouth in Epcot. We usually visit every other year, so it's been cute to see how they fill up his mouth. They're not "morsels" any more!

We have a few different ones that we always seem to get.

AK-
There's a wood crate in the Dino play area that has three holes. I always get a picture of my three kids. Our first trip DS was so little, he could just peek out while standing on his tiptoes. Now my oldest is getting ready for college.

They also always pose on the rickshaw.

Epcot-
Photo booth in UK
Bruce

MK-
Sword in the stone
Teacups
DS with the Zurg statue at Buzz

Lego family at DTD

Sadly we will no longer be able to do ours, we always had a picture taken in front of the hat in the Studios. It's just about the only picture we've paid for from a Disney photo pass. My son even took the same shirt he wore the first time and would slip it on for the picture. I have about 7 of them framed on my filing cabinet at work, since we go every other year they are always fun to look at and see the difference in our ages and in my case my weight. He finally had to throw the shirt away before the last trip, which I guess was a sign of things to come since we didn't know the hat was going to be taken down.

Awww, man! Sometimes change can pull at our heartstrings. The biggest Disney fan in our family is my husband. I was willing to try a different vacation this year (Atlantis? Turks and Caicos?) and he flipped out. I think to him visiting Disney keeps our kids (and us) young. I've always enjoyed the hat and was sad to see it go.

We always make a point of getting photos from the kids riding Splash Mountain. Fun to see the changes over the years. The Star Wars speeders are always a photo ops too.

We get a family Photo Pass picture taken once each trip. We have Cinderella's Castle (x2 once day and once at night), Spaceship Earth, Sorceror's Hat, Tree of Life, Eric's Castle, The Beast's Castle, and Expedition: Everest. We are looking forward to our next trip and finding a new spot to get our picture. Maybe in front of the Chinese Theater now that the Hat is gone.

We always do MK our last night and my youngest unknowingly created a tradition of giving the statue of Walt a hug on the way out. Bittersweet through the years!

We do a lot of the ones already mentioned here, but our strangest is a pic with a cat statue in the entryway of the Pizzafari restaurant at AK. For some reason, DD just loves it and always asks me to take a picture of her with it. Last trip, we didn't even eat there. We went in JUST for the pic.

Our tradition is fairly new (only 2 years) but I guarantee it will happen for each visit:
Here's 2013

My sister and her husband always go over to the back of the CR and take pictures in front of the metal Mickey head. We did this a couple of years ago when we all stayed at BLT

 

[Figment4EVA]

My dad and I get our picture on sunset blvd in MGM, screaming, with the tower of terror in the background.

 

[Rai's Mommy]

We always take a picture under the clock on Main Street showing the time that we leave MK when the park has late EMH.

I have 4 pictures of my DD from age three to 11 with Tigger where there used to meet at AK. Not sure what we will do now that they are not there

My youngest likes to have her picture taken on the BW eating her corndog. It became sort of a silly tradition when she was 5. Now it is a must do every trip.

Plus this insures she gets her corndog.

We only did this for the first time last year but ive decided to make it a tradition. We had a photo took with cinderella castle in the background but from the side where the wishing well is. My boyfriend had just proposed so now it's a very memorable place and I'd like to take a photo there every trip

 

[Charleneluvsdisney]

We have taken a picture of my son on the TTA every year since he was 2! He's 18 now and it's fun to look at all of the changes throughout the years.

One year we took a picture of each of us holding up our Mickey bar. It was so silly and funny that we do it every trip,

We always take one in morocco at the fountain inside.
