First and foremost, before you even look at anything I have to say remember two things:

1.  The Photopass Photographers are set up where they are for a reason! You will find them in the most classic and best framed shots in each park.

2.  As a backup, the Kodak Picture Spots are all great locations for photos (and marked off on your map)!

Now, keeping that in mind there are a few things to keep in mind when trying to nab the best pictures in Magic Kingdom:

• Don’t forget the signage! Some of my favorite pics are sideways, crooked shots of the entrance or ride signs.

• Look at things from every angle! The castle is one of the most amazing icons to catch from different parts of the park.  Take lots of pics and you will find yourself seeing it in a whole new magnificent way.

• Get yourself in the game! When you can join a scene in a Disney Park the picture is that much more memorable and fun! And there are so many queues in Magic Kingdom to step into!

• Get to parades and stage shows early for the most clear shots (without having to use your digital zoom).

• Master the art of the self shot.  You can’t always capture yourself in the moment but you can still catch some fun if you can make those self shots look like they were taken by someone else.

• Have a big memory card and don’t delete your pictures until you can look at them on a computer! Especially blurry pics! Teacup shots are so much fun, especially blurry!
