When to do castle pictures?

[dmc6469]

Hi. I hope I can make sense with my question. I know there's really no such thing as castle pictures with a completely empty Main Street, but there are far fewer crowds in the early morning. In which situation below do you think I'd encounter fewer people, or would the difference be negligible? I know the question seems silly, but the pictures are important to me this particular vacation.

A - 8 am opening. Going in around 8:15 or 8:30 after the initial RD crowds entered

B - 9 am opening with 8:00 EMM. Going in for PPO breakfast.

HOw do I do it? Photoshop is my friend. Delete every single person out of the photo

I forget how useful pinterest can be when I you only use it for egg white muffin tin and chocolate dessert ideas!

Interesting how people see things so differently. I have LOVED being on Main Street with very few people!

Thanks! The pre-opening photos really can be great. So do keep trying! We have a few duds through the years too, but you can't win if you don't play!

There was a couple photo pass photographers that were doing that during the after hours events.. so empty I'm sure it was pictures of a lifetime.

Meant to quote this for my previous reply lol

If you make an ADR for before park opening, that'll be your best shot. There is none to minimal amount of people on the street, particularly nice for photos at Walt's statue. The rush doesn't ever really die down after general opening. Photopass usually does stay on the street taking regular street photos before the parades and that helps.

Thanks! I feel pretty solid in my decision now.

If you just want castle and if it doesn't have to be face on castle you can take the path up the side of the castle and get a pic with no one in the background. It's the side of the castle but it still looks awesome.

Yes I have an awesome pic on my husband and I laying on Main Street with the castle behind us. It's one of my favorite Disney pics

PPO breakfast. My favorite pictures of the castle and Main Street are from a PPO breakfast at CP. Unique experience walking down a basically empty Main Street.

One of the many reasons I took the KTTK tour was that early access to Main Street.

Again, I guess I'm the odd man out here. You won't find many pics posted by me.
