I took a great picture of my daughter inside The Pinocchio Village Haus. Behind her it says "When you wish upon a star your dreams come true." The blue Fairy is there with her wand and Pinocchio is looking down.

We stumbled upon a neat idea after exiting the POTC ride. In the gift shop there is an old wine barrel and some theming. It looked like a set up for professional photos but the cast member said they didn't provide the service. Well it was my que to grab some pirates gear for the family and snap away...got some very cute pics of the baby with a pirate sword and hat but the older kids thought it too embarrassing when the next ride group wandered in. Oh well..I also suggest looking through the scrapbooking section on the forum and see what everyone has taken the time to scrap. You may find a super idea you can copy. Have fun all.

We've also taken pictures in the same spots on different trips: near the ant in the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground, sitting on the edge of the Coca-Cola truck in the Outpost in World Showcase and wearing different fun hats in gift shops. It's also fun to try get some of the same characters to see how much the kids have changed when the characters haven't!

The idea behind this one is to look like DS 13 is driving his sisters "the princesses" in a parade. There are all kinds of these spots, so be sure to look for them everywhere!

How Does Photo Pass Work??

Where do they take pictures? How much is each picture etc??





People with digital cameras....do you just buy a few memory cards to get all the pics you want? My Dgf takes about 200 per day usually on "regular" trips but we can download them to a computer. I can easily see her popping off 1000 in a week.

I like the spot infront of Splash Mountain!

Instead of putting your subject directly infront of something, such as the Fantasia Hat at Hollywood Studios, have your subject stand just to the left or right of center. That way there may be less people in the background.

I got a fantastic shot of my daughter and the hat. We were within the area where the crowd sits for HSM show. She stood so that she was infront of the golden swirls on the left and I stood to the left. I waited until there was a break in the corwd(we were ther in Jan) and voila! She was the only one in the shot.

We will be taking our 2nd trip to Disney in November, all the photo op tips I have read are great, and agree with most. I am looking for a photo op away from the parks, in a beach like setting with palms, what are your suggestions?

I am stumped, what is TL?
I was thinking of trying to find places on Disney since we will be staying there and using there transportation.

TL is Typhoon Lagoon, one of the Disney water parks.

Every time we go, i try to get a pic of the kids in front of the reverse waterfall in Epcot with the monorail going by in the background.

That and all the kids squished inside the phonebooth in England.

This is not much help but if you can find the spot you will end up with one great picture. Remembering though that WDW changes over the years. Having said that here goes.

One favoirte was the outside of the Crystal Palace. My husband was the first one at the door in the line. His back was to the camera. Some of the views near the Crystal Palace make good photo ops.

If the Kodak spot in Fantsyland is still in the same place it made for a good photo spot too. My DD took a picture there years ago and it has always been like the most favoirte photos in my photo album. The photo has her DH in a yello rain-slicker with his back to her and many fantsy rides before him. Not sure if it is the Peter Pan Ride or Small World without the photo to look at but I think it was made with her standing somewhere near the Small World ride.

Sorry, it is my favorite photo but I am not much help. I have tried on many visits to reshoot the scene but can't find the Kodak spot there and of course everyone in the groop are gung-ho to visit some of the rides there.

To put my two cents in again. OK here I go. For a good shot of the beach, one year I was near the tram station and the beach of the Contempary was in view. It was a good photo. How about the beach near where the Spirits of Aloha dinner-show is?
Memory cards. When we go to WDW I always take a memory card with me. With my old digital camera I never did take so many that the memory card was filled. Not much help because in the past I only took about 500 photos. With the new cameras the memory cards hold more photos. It is a good idea to take a memory card if your budget will allow it.
Another photo op that makes for a good memory is to take a picture with the Disney bus for the background.
Hope these ideas help you.
