If you look at a map of Disneyland Resort, you may notice various “Picture Spots” designated around the parks. These are particular locations that Disney is recommending as great settings for your photos. Often these spots are near iconic Disneyland landmarks or maybe near a fun visual gag Imagineers have created. At these picture spots, you will find physical signs with sample photos providing a visual suggestion for how to pose or frame your own photos. These Picture Spots are not part of the PhotoPass program, but you may also see PhotoPass photographers near these popular spots.
