15 Pictures To Take At Disneyland

Heading to Disneyland? These are 15 do not miss pictures to take at disneyland!

Heading to Disneyland? These are 15 do not miss pictures to take at Disneyland!

Disneyland is one of our favorite places….in fact, we are annual passholders.  My toddler is pretty much obsessed.  We love being able to visit the happiest place on earth on a regular basis, and to explore parts of the park that may be missed during shorter family vacations for out of towners.  From the balloons on Main Street to Snow White's Wishing Well, I've been keeping an ongoing list of places to snap great, instagram-worthy pictures when you're Disney Bound.  We wanted to share a few of our favs!

Heading to Disneyland? These are 15 do not miss pictures to take at Disneyland!Pictures To Take At Disneyland

Tea Cups at Night: The iconic Mad Tea Party ride in Fantasyland is a Disney classic.  At night, the lanterns are lit and if you can snap at the right time…..you'll get one of those amazing shots with a glowing, blurred background as you spin around inside the teacups!

It's A Small World Wall: When facing It's a Small World, to your left is the instagram-famous blue and white Disneyland wall.  It's PERFECT for pictures (hit it in the morning for the best light).  Bonus: to your right, is a white and gold version of the same wall……also great if you're wearing darker colors!

Character Photo: Character photos are a Disneyland must take.  However, getting a character photo that isn't a part of a regular meet and greet? That's something special.  You can use the Disneyland official app to track characters at the park, and try to catch them before a meet and greet (they almost ALL walk through Sleeping Beauty's castle on the way to Main Street at some point).

Sleeping Beauty's Castle: Sleeping Beauty's Castle is a Disney Must Visit.  It's also an amazing place for pictures.  The front of the castle is stunning, but always crowded.  For easier shots, walk through the castle into Fantasyland.  The back of the castle is just as pretty, and tends to be less crowded.

Main Street Balloons: Ok, here's the deal with the adorable kid holding the mickey mouse balloon bouquet pictures you see all over Instagram.  They won't let your kid hold the balloons.  They can't.  They're like twelve dollars a pop.  So, you either have to BUY a bunch, or get creative with angles.  Your kid can hold the balloons, but the Disneyland employees will have to hold them too.  Trust me, you won't be the first person to ask. 

Mickey Shaped Treat: While at the park, you've gotta take at least one photo eating a Mickey shaped treat, right? Our favorite treats? Are in Candy Kitchen on Main Street!

Find a Hidden Mickey: Have you ever gone on a hunt for hidden Mickeys in the park?  It's a TON of fun.  When you find a hidden Mickey, be sure to snap a photo with it!

Walt Statue: The Walt Statue in the middle of Main Street is one of the best spots in Disneyland.  And how can you visit the park without taking a picture with the man who built it?

Dumbo the Flying Elephant: Dumbo is one of the original Disneyland rides…..it's been at the park since 1955.  Which means it's a must ride and a must shoot.  There is a Dumbo placed just for pictures under a small awning next to the ride….perfect for snapping adorable photos of your kids!

Happily Ever After wall: That famous navy blue wall you see with the Happily Ever After written in glitter? It's part of the exit from Animation Academy in California Adventure. 

Magic Photos: One of the few things that I always pay for from a Disney photopass? The Magic photos! As the Disneyland photographers to take magic photos for you…….they'll photoshop in Disney characters like Tinkerbell!

Snow White Wishing Well: The Snow White Wishing Well is one of my favorite peaceful spots in the park.  It's to the right of Sleeping Beauty's castle, and is a wonderful place to relax with toddlers…..and take fun pictures peeking into the well.

Sword in the Stone: Can YOU pull the sword from the stone?  Be sure to snap a picture of your family trying to pull the Sword from the Stone in Fantasyland (it's right in front of the carousel).

🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨⠀⠀🛑 Learn from my mistakes, 3 things you should NOT do if you’re running Disney races this year (trust me):⠀⠀1️⃣ Passing Go and Heading STRAIGHT to the parks: I realllllyyyyy wanted medal pictures.  In my running outfit.  So, instead of taking the buses straight from the finish line back to the hotel……we went to the Magic Kingdom.  Took photos.  Went to lunch.  And felt…..terrible by about 1 pm.  So take it from me, finish the race.  Go to the hotel.  Shower. Take a nap.  THEN go to the parks. ⠀2️⃣ Breakfast: ok, mistake number 2.  WHAT WE ATE.  We booked a very cute, very on theme lunch.  It was also very rich and creamy food.  And…..was NOT IT after a race.  Some of us may have gotten sick.  It might have been the food.  Or the lack of sleep.  But, breakfast food (waffles / eggs) would have been a MUCH better choice.  Now bonus points if you can guess where we ate.  Love it, but….not for the first meal after the race.⠀3️⃣ Park Tickets: I spent WAY too much.  I didn’t buy my park tickets in advance and paid full price.  On a race weekend, you’ll probably want tickets for race day and the day after if not two days after.  So….buy them NOW.  While you can get a deal. ⠀⠀🎟️ Which leads to……when I say buy those park tickets now, I mean it. Big News! Undercover Tourist is offering their best ticket deal at BOTH Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort…for a VERY limited time, get Adult Theme Park Tickets at Child Prices.  So whichever race you are running (or races in my case)……snag tickets NOW.  I’m grabbing mine for Wine and Dine and Princess weekend……..⠀🎟️ want a link to the deal? Comment TICKETS PLEASE and I’ll send it your way! ⠀👟 Are you running a Disney Race this year? Which one? ⠀⠀🥇 And if you’re an experienced Run Disney person….what tips do YOU have for first timers?⠀⠀@themeparkfrog @disneyland #FrogHopDLR #rundisney

Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off another year of family halloween costumes.The thing is, I tried to talk Lydia out of these costumes.  It was a cooler day on Saturday and I kept telling her we could just wear jeans and the hats.  Until, I realized…….we may not have that many Halloween seasons left of cute family costumes.  So pink witches we were…..for the kickoff of Legoland’s Brick or Treat. We love Brick or Treat (this is our 3rd year doing it). It’s got some new activities this year, and I L-O-V-E that it’s included in your regular @legolandcalifornia ticket (bonus it ALSO will be included in Kids Free October here in SD).Our favs this year:- the wacky witch trail near the water park entrance- the zombie cheerleaders- halloween themed apple fries- the monster security checkpoint- Jam Out with the Rockers (this meet and greet is HYSTERICAL, scroll for the footage)Brick or Treat takes place on Saturdays in September and then Saturdays and SOME Sundays in October (dates are on the Legoland website).Welp, this makes it official.  Summer has come to an end. Bring on the Halloween fun!#sponsored #LEGOLANDcalifornia
✨ Recent Microjoys: the….it’s starting to fe ✨ Recent Microjoys: the….it’s starting to feel like Fall edition ✨- running is a lot nicer when it’s 70 degrees- pumpkins have officially made their appearance at Trader Joe’s- Ube Lattes : a seriously stellar local find- planning makes my heart happy (once a lesson planning teacher, always a lesson planning teacher )- made it to Legoland for Brick or Treat (I’ll share more about this tomorrow) but this photo needed it’s moment - baked potatoes for dinner - Disneyland plans loading….lots of them (it’s been awhile): Oogie Boogie Bash, a friend date, and a couple fun trips…….all within the next week or two"Microjoys are a practice of uncovering joy and finding hope at any moment. They are accessible to everyone, despite all else. When we hone the ability to look for them, they are always available.
