What shots must you get while visiting Disney World? Is it the one of an empty main street view of the castle? Maybe the Haunted Mansion sign with the Mansion in the distance?
I'd like to hear your opinions.
 
I've never seen an empty Main St! Just a less crowded Main St :laughing:

I always try to get a picture of the Partners Statue (my avatar)

and, also a blossom tree at DTD....
 
Breakfast at Crystal Palace can get you an empty main street, that's a must do when we go, just for that shot... The breakfast isn't too bad either.
I can't believe it, but in all my trips to the World, I keep forgetting to get The Partners statue..... Not this time, I am getting that shot!:banana:
 
Mine is a character-At least 1 shot with Mickey every trip-doesn't matter how he is dressed, but at least 1
 

I've got too many to count. As I go so often, I constantly try to tell myself not to take some of my same shots over again - and I do usually hunt for new and unusual things to shoot. Yet somehow I still come back every trip with many of my 'standard' shots that I just can't resist.

Castle at night from Main Street
Haunted Mansion from Aunt Pollys
Roy Disney statue on bench with OOF background
Clock on Main Street with OOF castle in background
Epcot ball from front entrance
Every country pavilion shot as if actually in that place, with less of the 'disney' signs and people
China at night
Mexico interior with volcano
Harambe village from bridge
Everest from Harambe bridge
Everest from Flame Tree
Every animal and bird on the Kilimanjaro Safari, Pangani Forest Trail, and Maharajah Jungle Trek
Hollywood Tower Hotel from Sunset Ranch

That's just a few of the ones I can virtually guarantee will be in every single Disney trip photo folder!
 
It's always a 'moving target' for me. I think up new shots before each trip and write down what lens I anticipate using, the angle, and focal length. It may sound like a bit much, but the final notation ends up being something like "UWA Partners upward" or "Partners rearview 200mm". Most of the time I don't reference the list at all when I'm in the park, but I remember some of the shots.

Those are examples. I think I have a few others, but you get the idea.

LOVELY shots! I guess we can't ALL be the last ones out of the MK, can we????? One day.... when my daughter is older........
 
I picture of the type of Margarita I ordered in Epcot to remind me what I was drinking.

Outside of the usual mommy/daughter picture I try to grab, I really do not like the traditional shots. They seem overdone. I have shot them to have them in my library.

I like to challenge myself to find a different way to present a subject. That is why I like shooting with my daughter at the World. She see details that I just speed by.
