I think WDW is just one gigantic photo op village! All the suggestions are great. We like to get pictures with cast members that we enjoy talking with, especially servers at the sit down restaurants and the World Showcase cast members in traditional costumes.

Also fun is to find a theme...like crazy hats! Or get a "travel mascot," and take pictures with it...this coming trip I am taking a Pluto stuffed character that is made of denim, which I will have signed by characters, cast members, whoever. He will be my "autograph hound," and I'll take pictures of everyone signing him. I'll also have fun taking pictures of Pluto enjoying attractions, trying Beverly...etc.

One thing I've found is that the best pictures are those where the people in the picture stand nice and close to the camera, within 5 feet. So, keep that in mind when setting up for pictures. Also, have patience. Usually if you wait for just a little while, the crowds go away. And consider a tiny pocket tri-pod if you really are a shutterbug.

This all coming from a girl who took 1,257 pictures on her last trip to WDW. Thank heavens for digital cameras and memory cards!
