Thread: Taking your Christmas picture at DL

    Taking your Christmas picture at DL

    We took our X-mas card pic at DL this year. Has anyone else done this? Last year the pic was taken at New Schwanstein castle in Germany. This year we decided to keep the theme going and took it at the 'fake' New Schwanstein. For you eagle eyes, thats Ludwigs childhood castle in the background .

    This is the first time in 6 years that it is NOT taken in Disneyland.

    Aaahhh, yes a MANY Christmas card photos have been taken at Disneyland.
    I have to do something really cool this year since my DS will be 18. I don't know how I will handle it next year. I guess if he is still at home I will continue the tradition.
    Hmmm, he wont be with us on our Thanksgiving trip, so I probably wont have it done in DL this year either.
    We've had a couple years in the front by the flowers, a couple years in front of the castle, one year with just the kids on California Santa's lap, one year with our dog and the kids outside the kennel.....wow, I just realized we have sent a lot of Disney themed cards through the years.
    Disneyland has a lot of beautiful spots for this. Have fun!

    This was last years:

    That is SO cool. I haven't yet visited Neuschwanstein, so I have to make do with plain ol' Sleeping Beauty Castle. I know I'm hoping to take our holiday photo in Russia when we visit with Disney Cruise Line next year.

    Malcon10t and CariBelle, Court des Anges is being used for the Princess and the Frog meet and greet this year, so you'll have to find another spot for your photos!

    This was ours last year and this year we are taking it again in Disneyland somewhere.


    Oh and in 1994 this was our picture from San Francisco.

    I love to see how much my brother has grown up.

    Yesterday, while the characters were doing the Showboat show, they were allowing people to take pictures there.

    We usually get ours done at DL. The location varies depending on which picture looks the best. Sometimes it's with characters & sometimes not. I'm having a hard time deciding this year. either one with Chip and Dale or this one in DCA but many people probably won't know it's from DL.

    Here's the character one I like best. I just couldn't get a family picture without someone with a hat or sunglasses on. And I couldn't figure out how to put 2 pictures in one post-sorry! I just learned how to do one after a couple years on here

    I like both pictures, they both have something different (but I do like the Chip and Dale one a little more.)

    They're both great. I think I like the first one best though as your daughter gets lost a little between Chip and Dale.


    We've never traditionally done a holiday pic. We are considering one this year. We won't be in the parks until March though so it'll probably be either in front of our fireplace or our tree. We do always take a pic in certain spots each trip though.

    YAY!!! I love all the happy faces!

    Is it true the area in New Orleans Square where I see a lot of you posing is now the character meet and greet for the new princess?

    I thought I saw that somewhere and when I was there on Halloween it was all blocked off.
    I love it in there; so peaceful.

    Nevermind; I just read back. ......

    Anytime we are in Disney at christmas we decide to do that. And since this is only our 2nd time being able to go at Christmas time and my 2 DDs 61/2 and 4 are still young enough I bought them matching Disney shirts fir each day of our trip so they will be photo ready each day since I always find that they one day I dont prepare for it is the day we take the best photo where we are all in our scruffy comfys LOL so Im preparing this time and my hubby and I usually try and wear at least the same color shirst/sweaters with jeans. Corny a little but the pics always turn out good. Take FULL advantage of the photopass and do different ones so you have a variety to choose from.

    I didn't even have to bribe them this year!! Maybe because DS is almost 18 and I said this is your last Christmas card photo as a "kid". He will always be my baby boy though.
    We took these on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Just the kids this year.
