Morning or evening light for Castle?

[Jhaberlein]

Anyone prefer morning or evening light to photograph Cinderella's Castle? I'll be going in early September and would like to get a few with the kiddos too, so whichever time of day I choose.... where is the best area to shoot? Is either more preferable for "lower" (and I know there will be people regardless) crowds? Thanks!!

You can really do either with "lower" crowds, but it needs to be planned. If you get a before park opening breakfast, you can get it with few people in the background. Same goes for if you close the park and linger in the lands on the way out. There are also different angles where fewer people will be in the background (such as the bridge from the hub to Tomorrowland). As far as the light, well, do you want the castle lit in the background or do you want to shoot it in the light of day? I don't really have a preference, it just depends on if I want to see the castle or want the magic of the lights on the castle.
