Great Photo Ops Around The Disneyland Resort Part 2: Disney California Adventure

Thursday, June 2, 2011

Who doesn't like to take lots of pictures around the Disneyland Resort with their family and friends?! 
Last time we took a look at Great Photo Ops Around Disneyland, and this time I want to show you a few spots around Disney California Adventure that you may not know about.
Let's head over to Hollywood Pictures Backlot first. 
 Unless you exit Muppet Vision 3D, you might just miss this great photo op. You will find it right at the end of the exit, but you don't have to watch the show to access it. Just head towards the entrance, but instead of going left to enter go all the way to your right. It's tucked in the corner.
 Once you leave there just walk straight ahead to Monsters Inc Mike & Sulley To The Rescue. 
 There at the entrance is a giant door. How fun would it be to take pictures there each visit to watch your child grow?! It's the Disney version of marking your child's growth on a door. 
To the right of the entrance is a taxi just like the one you rode on in the ride.... another great photo op!
 This next one many people don't know about. Every time I post a picture of it, I get asked where to find it in the park.
 This facade is directly behind the Hollywood Backlot Stage where Mickey's Dance Crew shows. You could do all sorts of poses here. It would be really fun to have a family photograph taken on the steps.
 Just a little further down next to the Hyperion Theatre, you'll find this Hollywood Blvd photo op that includes El Capitan in the background. 
As you can see there are quite a few photo ops located in the Hollywood Pictures Backlot.

Now let's move over to the Pacific Wharf Cafe.
This is one of my favorite places to take a picture. Luckily you won't have to get stinky posing with this record catch of fish...just hop right in that net!
 At the entrance of Redwood Creek Challenge Trail you'll find Brother Bear waiting to take a picture with you. 

 It's also a good spot to pass out. 
 A little further down you'll find the biggest bear to get your picture taken with right in front of Grizzly River Run. 
 And last but not least... pose as an action figure in the Action Figure Collection Toy Story box! This is located right next to Toy Story Mania. The possibilities are endless with this one. It's always fun to just people watch here to see what action pose a person will make. 
That will do it this time for great photo ops around the Disneyland Resort. 
 If you missed Great Photo Ops Around Disneyland make sure you check it out here. 
Next time I'll be showing you some fun spots around the Disneyland Hotel. 

A special thanks to Michele of  Power Shots Photography for joining us with her daughter on some of our photo op locations. 

Mickey Mouse at Paradise Pier

Thursday, April 14, 2011

 Did you know that if you walk up Paradise Pier in Disney California Adventure, there is a newer place to take your photo?  Look for the red roofed gazebo with nautical bunting hanging above. Do you see it at the very end there? Let's get a little closer, shall we?
Ahhhh there we go.  The Mickey shaped life saver at the front of the gazebo makes for a great spot to take a photo. 
If you go earlier in the day you can find Mickey there to greet you too.

Don't worry if you don't see Mickey out though because he takes turns with Duffy. Duffy is just across the way in his own photo area. The Little One got his picture with Duffy first, then we rode Mickey's Fun Wheel, while waiting for Mickey to return after Duffy was done taking pictures. If you want to know when one or the other will return for photos, you can ask the cast member that is the character handler that day. They will give you an exact time of that characters return.
