Great Photo Ops Around The Disneyland Resort Part 1

Thursday, May 19, 2011

One of my favorite things to do at Disneyland is capture as many photos of my Little One as I can around the park. Getting pictures with all the great Disney characters is a given, but did you know there are also plenty of spots around the resort just waiting for you to snap a picture or two? 
Let me show you a few of our favorite spots that we always like to take pictures at, and you don't have to be a kid to take a picture with them. 
 In Fantasyland right outside the Mad Hatter shop is a pink teacup just waiting for you to slip into. If the Mad Tea Party makes you dizzy, have no fear this teacup will not spin. 
Just around the side of the Mad Hatter you will find a little door. This is one of my favorite spots to take pictures of my Little One. It's right in front of the Mad Tea Party and next to Alice in Wonderland. I've been taking pictures of my Little One since he was just a crawler. It's been fun to watch him grow with these photos, and these days he likes to see if anyone is home. Unfortunately for him no one is ever home, and he can't get through the door like he would want. 
Knock Knock.
 Just a baby. 
 Our next spot is right behind Dumbo The Flying Elephant.  It is sometimes overlooked because it's tucked to the left backside of the ride. Can't make it on the ride? Luckily you can still get your picture with that lovable elephant here. 
Now let's walk over to King Arthur Carrousel and head to the front. 
 Try your luck at pulling out the Sword in the Stone. Sadly the Little One has not been successful and has not become the King of England yet. He sure has fun trying though. 
No luck with Mickey either.
While you are at The Sword in the Stone head over to Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. 
Parked out front is Toady's motorcar waiting for you. 

Now that we are done exploring our favorite spots in Fantasyland, let's head over to Mickey's Toontown.
Mickey's Toontown is loaded with endless opportunities for great photos, here are a few of our favorites. 
 Throughout Mickey's Toontown are vehicles to jump in. Our favorite is probably the fire truck located right in front of the fire station. Not only can you pretend to drive the fire truck, but you can also hold on at the back too. 
 Mickey Mouse has this sporty red convertible parked right outside his house, and Goofy has a green car (above) parked out front at his playhouse. 
Before you leave the fire station to head over to Mickey's house, make sure you go around the corner because Horace Horsecollar left a weigh bar right out front of his gym. Test your strength to see if you can pick it up or make silly faces as you try. 
There is also the Dog Pound right next door.
There are so many spots all over Disneyland that you can take your pictures at, that I didn't cover today. The possibility for magical memories is endless.   
I hope you enjoyed our favorites, and next time I'll take you across the way to Disney California Adventure.

Your little guy is just adorable! I need to find a spot in the parks i can take a picture of my kids each year. We do the Hoop Dee Doo every trip, so we do have a family picture from there every year, but it would nice to find a spot that would really show how much they grown between trips. Great pictures!

I have the best picture of my two oldest girls, when they were little (now 25 and almost 28), at the little door (I call it the White Rabbit's Door). To this day, every time we walk by that door, the girls say "yes, we know, you have the cutest picture of us...". In fact--it's my iphone lock picture.
Cute little guy you have! Love the pictures!
