Favorite spots for pictures

[4Vals]

Just wondering what your favorite spots are for pictures? If you can share some of them as well.

Thanks

We call it our "secret spot" but it's not so secret at all!

The concrete benches in front of the castle. If you stand on them, you get a great shot in front of the castle with NO PEOPLE in your shot!

It used to be the Court of Angels, but, alas, that's now Club 33 territory, so we'll need to find new places.

Some other places we like, assuming you mean pictures with your (so, I typed "party" with a semi-colon, and that's what popped up. I'm leaving it like that, because I like all the 7-Up dots having a party; a trip to Disneyland is pretty exciting after all ) :

In front of the castle at night, before the fireworks. It's roped off, so there won't be anyone behind you in your picture.

The "Fish Net" in Fisherman's Wharf. Very cute for couples.

Carthay Fountain (or whatever it's proper name is).

Grizzly River's viewing bridge.

In front of the vineyard in DCA.

At the edge of the railing right in front of where they do World of Color, you get Mickey's Fun Wheel and California Screamin in the background, it's perfect.

These are all from some of our favorite photos.

1.) In front of the Mickey head flowers with Main St. Station in the background, just after you enter the park.

2.) In the middle of Main Street just after you step off the island with the flag pole, with the castle in the distance.

3.) In the gardens surrounding the castle moat you can get flowers, the moat and a side view of the castle with no one in the background.

4.) After you walk through the castle, head towards King Arthur's carousel, then turn around and take a shot with the castle and beautiful flags in the background.

5.) For kids, in front of the White Rabbit's house.

6.) Sitting in a tea cup or in the stationary, just for photos, Mr. Toad's car.

7.) Opposite Monstro the whale, in front of the Tea Cups with the paper lanterns and Matterhorn in the background.

8.) With the statue of the White Rabbit, by the bathrooms on the outside of the castle, between the castle and Matterhorn.

9.) Halfway thru the path from the hub to Matterhorn, with Pixie Hollow on the right and Matterhorn in the background.

10.) As you exit Autopia you can get a shot with Matterhorn in the background.

11.) Sit a few rockets behind your kids and capture pics of them as they speed through the air on AstroOrbiter.

12.) In front of the wood fence with BTMRR in the background, along the walkway from the back of Fantasyland to Frontierland.

13.) On the rope bridge at the top of Tarzan's treehouse.

14.) Multiple places in NOS, including on the steps across from Cafe Orleans w/ CO in the background (especially if you pose with the band), sitting on the blue steps in a courtyard behind some NOS shops.

15.) As you enter the queue for HM with the HM behind you and the open gates on either side of you.

14.) Multiple spots on Tom Sawyer Island: in the human skull and bones cage from POTC, on TSI with the Rivers of America and the Mark Twain in the background.

15.) Pretty much anywhere in Toontown, especially driving the cars, by the Goofy Water, with the fireworks, and in line for Gadget's Go Coaster.

16.) In DCA, with the Monsters Inc ride facade in the background.

17.) Carsland: In front of the Stanley statue with the fire dept. in the background and at night, standing in the middle of the street with the Cozy Cone on the left, Flo's on the right and RSR in the background.

18.) With the waterfall on the back side of GRR in the background.

Those are all great -- I'd add that anytime you see a Photopass photographer, chances are that's a good spot to take a photo, even if you do it yourself.

I like the fish net idea. I had never thought of the viewing bridge I guess because we were always on the ride. But I am going to check that out.

Great ideas, we have done some but I am going to do number:

4, We have great shots of the front of the castle, why not tuen around and get the whole thing.

7, I really like getting pictures of multiple things in the shot. Defiantly going to try this one.

10, going to try this but get the Matterhorn, and monorail in the shot. I want to get the sub in this shot but they will be down while we are there.

11, love, love love this idea. As with dumbo we usually sit one right behind each other and I am always yelling for my kids/wife to turn around. sometimes the obvious is not so obvious.

13, we have gone many a trip and "skip" the tree house. We need to get back up the tree and snap some shots.

14, NO square does have a lot of great spots. I like the blue steps idea.

16, same as Tarzan Tree house we have skipped the island. But, sounds like some good shots of the river from there.

Thank you for the ideas.

I wish I could remember exactly where it was, but it's on the same side of the street as Blue Bayou, between/behind some shops closer to the railroad than the river. We wandered around while waiting for our reservation to be called and stumbled upon it.

That's the one! My absolute favorite for photos in the park!

Thank you so much! It's one of my favorite DL photos. We updated it last year with the one in my avatar.

Having two Cars obsessed boys, we like taking a lot of photos in Cars land:

At the "Here It Is" sign
In the exit of RSR, especially at night
In front of the Radiator Springs A Happy Place painting
In front of Doc's 3 piston cups
In front of Flo's
In front of a gas pump at Flo's
with the baby tractor near Mater's
In front of the Welcome to Radiator Springs sign near Bugs Land
(first time to Cars Land and I took 250 photos in one day! )

We also love to take silly photos in Mickey's fun wheel
On the carousel
eating ghiradelli's
in front of Mr potato head


At DL:
in front of the castle! A must (or behind it too)
On the Sailing ship Columbia or Mark Twain
In line for HM
Under Hungry Bear near the river
Tom Sawyer Island in caves and near treasure!
in front of BTMR
Anything in Fantasyland, especially on the carousel and teacups
on Autopia! (I also take video on Autopia because my DS4 non-stop smiles and giggles and it's just the cutest thing I've ever seen)
On Main street, so many great spots!

I thought I recognized the golden anniversary decor on the castle... ;-)

That's too bad. We were there last August and it was a beautiful, quiet spot.

 

[LisaPenz]

It's hard to beat Snow White's wishing well! It's a quiet little oasis away from the chaos....

Thank you for all the great picture ideas. We leave tomorrow so I will get some great shots.
