I also feel the same way about my Disney photos, but regrettably, I've never really taken many with family members in them. This time will be different though...I may even branch out and do some video.
My favourite photo was taken on the way from the bus stop to the entrance/bag check at the MK. It was the first night of our Christmas 2007 vacation, and we arrived much later than we were supposed to (delayed flights due to weather), but we were able to make it in time to go to
MVMCP.
I own a Canon PowerShot A720, which is what I used to take the photo with. I'm only a casual photographer, so I don't really have any tips...other than have fun with your pictures!
Here's the photo I was talking about (which hasn't been edited in any way):
