Today I'm going to share with you some of my favorite spots to take pictures.
Disneyland front lawn
One of the things that most people do on their trip to Disneyland is take a picture in front of the Disneyland front lawn, or the Mickey flowers, as they are sometimes referred to. There have only been a handful of trips to Disneyland that I've been on that I haven't taken a picture in front of these flowers. I love how they change sometimes, according to what the park is celebrating.

Buena Vista Street
This is a new favorite spot for me. Since Buena Vista street has been open less than a year, I only got to discover it's beauty for the first time on our last trip. It literally makes you feel like you've stepped back in time. The shops are adorable, the storefronts are amazing, and the costumes of those working in the area are so fun. Carthay Circle Theater and the fountain in front of it are two amazing iconic landmarks to this beautiful area.
Cars Land
I'm a sucker for city lights in the evenings, and I love neon signs. One of the things I was most looking forward to about seeing Cars Land for the first time was taking pictures of the area at night. It seriously is so much more magical at night. It's a beautiful sight during the day, but at night, it just comes alive. There are also many great spots to stop and have your picture taken. In front of the Cars Land postcard, in the middle of the street, in front of the Radiator Springs statue at the end of the road, and in front of Flo's V8 Cafe, especially at night.
Off the Page
If you've never stepped into this building, you are seriously missing out. Next to the gift shop is this whole room full of different sized screens that play scenes from various Disney movies. It's breathtaking. There's a spot in there where the wall says "Once Upon a Time" on one side and on the other "...and they lived happily ever after". It's a really fun place to stop and take a couple of silly pictures. Plus, if you venture into the building further, you'll stumble into the Beast's Library, where you can find out what Disney character you are most like...and take pictures in front of the beautiful fire place in there.
The Founder's Statue
This statue is such an iconic part of Disneyland. DCA has a statue of a much younger Walt and Mickey arriving in California, whereas the one in Disneyland showcases the aged relationship the two of them have with each other. Both are great spots to take pictures in front of/with.
Mad Tea Party
Not only does the Mad Tea Party have an empty tea cup outside of the ride that you can sit and take pictures in, but it's just so fun to take pictures in the tea cups before the ride starts. I love the colorful backdrop of the other tea cups, as well as the lanterns hanging above. It's a great ride and picture spot.
Mickey's Toontown
My husband and I don't venture over to Toontown very often when we go to Disneyland, because most of the rides and attractions are geared more toward little kids. However, there are so many fun spots over there to take pictures! We spent a good amount of time there on our last trip, taking pictures of and with all of the fun scenery.
Sleeping Beauty's Castle
I love Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Even though it's not a real castle filled with real bedrooms that people actually live in, it's just so beautiful. I love taking pictures of it and having my picture taken in front of it. It's such a beautiful iconic part of Disneyland.
Wherever the characters are
When I was little, my sister and I would spend so much time trying to track down all of the characters so we could get their autographs and take our pictures with them. When I got a little older, taking pictures with characters seemed so lame. Now, it's kind of fun again! I really enjoy being able to capture that memory. Though my husband and I will not wait in a super long line to do so, I still really enjoy getting my picture taken with the characters.
Stay tuned to hear about some of my favorite places to eat!
