Besides Photopass photos, what kind of fun photos have you taken, anywhere in WDW? I love to take pictures, but I've never done anything very creative, and I'd love some ideas. Thanks!

Just picture 15 yr old twin boys and their fingers up noses....the creatures in the Tree of Life, the Troll at Norway....etc. I ended up with several of those shots when photos were developed from our trip in 2004. Those twins are now 19 yrs old and would probably do the same thing thinking it was funny.

last year we took out little stich with us everywhere and posed him in all sorts of places to show the pictures to my neice and nephew when we got back. My favorite was stich eating a funnel cake and stich sitting on pleakleys head in tommorrowland

Our local stockbroker gives out little foam "stress-reliever" pigs and asks you take it with you on vacation and take pictures of it with you. So ours went to Epcot with us one evening. Got a photo of DH holding the silly thing with the belly dancer dancing in the background, among others. Our waitress at Le Chefs de France had a ball serving us dinner with the thing sitting on the table. Needless to say, we had some really great (and funny) photos!

I have taken the same picture of my three kids each and every trip and I love it. It is the three of them walking down Main Street USA towards the castle, all three holding hands, I take the picture from behind so you can see their backs and the castle in front of them. We always take it on our first day at the MK. It is my most specialist picture..;) Hee hee. Its the pic I look forward to the most!

I love taking pictures of hidden Mickeys. I also have a good picture of my son in front of the Beverly with a thumbs up. I started trying to get different landmarks and things at night, such as spaceship earth lit up and the castle. I do love my WDW pics!!!:mickey:

First off GREAT TOPIC! I will be hoping to copy some of these idea's for our next trip.

Years ago DH and I took pictures at the entrance sign to each land.

My boys like to do pictures in the hats. By the end of the week we normally have a picture of them with every hat in WDW. This years favorite is the moose cap and beaver skin in Canada.

Our annual Christmas picture is them with the stationary snow characters at DTD. It's nice to look back through the years.

We did the corny thing where you hold your hands up to look like the huge castle, etc are being held up in your hands... They are funny considering the kids were 2 and 4 when we did it!

We also take tons of pictures of Hidden Mickeys.

Somehow we started a tradition of taking a picture of DH with Alice in Wonderland each year. I think he would probably rather change that tradition to include Jasmine or Pocahontas . . . . :mickey:

Some of my faves are having DS hang off the umbrella as he's 'Singin' in the Rain'; having him stand under the AT-AT pretending he's being crushed, standing in front of the huge cityscapes pretending he's part of the San Francisco scene, having him pretend he's a bat in front of the chalk drawing at AK, and of course many of the items above that involve the props at World Showcase in Epcot. That's part of the fun of our trips! :mickey:

We have our picture taken in front of the hat each trip (we do the other landmarks, too, but the hat was the only family pic we had from 2004, so that's a must-do for us). I like Lisa's idea of the kids walking down main street, not sure how that would work with just 1 kid though LOL

Off the top of my head, the only one I can think of is that I consistently take photos of SSE at Epcot each trip. For some reason I'm determined to get a "perfect shot." Forgetting that I have the same exact shot from each previous trip. :blush:

These are Photopass pictures. But I love doing the shots with the add-in characters (Stitch, Simba, Tink, ect). They are so much fun to do.

Ok every year my mom makes me and my sister take a picture with walt disneys head bust and the statue of him and mickey in magic kingdom. We also have pictures with the sword and the stone, singing in the rain, and the phone booth in england at Epcot. Oh and after the finding nemo ride its fun to go in the sharks mouth and take a pic!:mickey:

We too do the hat pics! I luv those! Also my DS's love making the Disney Potato heads & make one everyday somewhere & we have to take their pic with their creation! Also can make & email yourself & friends really cute, creative pics in the Kodak "What If Lab" in JIYI. We have some really cute ones! Every year we also take DS's picture on the Landspeeder outside of Star Tours, in the car outside of The Sci Fi Dine In Theatre & in front of the Loch Ness Monster made of Lego in DTD. We always have someone take a pic of the 4 of us with the character statues in the background, it's a Holiday theme setting, outside of the Christmas Shoppe in DTD & we use that as our Christmas picture in our Christmas cards! :thumbsup:

Some silly ones my kids have done over the years - they are now 18 & 20(but adults could do too!) include:

Picking the troll's nose in Norway
Act like they are holding OR pushing Spaceship Earth
Posing like the warning signs on most of the rides (that show people falling out of the rides - they kind of look like they're dancing)
posing like the dummies at Test Track
Taking the pose of someone who really needs to go to the bathroom while standing next to a restroom sign
acting like they broke the liberty bell in Liberty square (Did I do that?)
acting scared on It's a Small World Ride (a face similar to what you would look like on Tower of Terror)
We also take pictures of all of the Hidden Mickey's we find
Chip and Dale, & Goofy are fun to make silly poses with
These are ideas my kids came up with on their own.:mickey:

And here I thought my 19 yr old twin boys were the ONLY one's that posed like that with the troll.
And, yes, we've done most of the others with all of our offspring. .... we are a weird family.

On my very first trip in 72 (?), my parents took a picture of my in the stocks at Liberty Square. I have been taking pictures every year since. A few years ago, I started taking pictures of my neice in the same way.

My 37 yo DH does this, only with the tiki statues at the Poly.

Before we went on our last trip to the "World", my DH received a "Pink Floyd" t-shirt. (black w/white Pink Floyd on back). The giver didn't believe he would wear it to WDW. So, one day he did, and we proceeded to take pictures of "Pink Floyd" (aka my DH's back) on every attraction and show in MK. Made for interesting photos, to say the least! :D

The fun photos for us...................

each day has its own order of how we stand
(family thing)


OTHER
I give both of my DD's digital cameras and let them click away all day long.....
I get pictures of everything and anything...
water fountain spouts, cracks in the side walk, the fence post from Gooys rollercoaser....

but best is they will get perfect strangers together and take their picture....you should see how confused grandmom is when we get home

We always take a picture of my boys in jail with Zurg when you exit the Buzz ride in MK. They love climbing into jail and smiling!
