Cinderella Wishing Well

Any photo of Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom is sure to be beautiful, but those who are looking for a different angle than the traditional Main Street, U.S.A. shot should head up a small path to the side of the structure for a wonderful location. The Cinderella Wishing Well is a beautifully decorated well with carvings of favorite characters and details from the film, with a charming bench to sit on and sweeping views of Cinderella Castle in the background. This is a great spot to pose for a memorable photo, with both beautiful details in the foreground and Cinderella Castle in the background!

One of the most unique locations in the Magic Kingdom that Guests can snap a truly memorable photo from is the Astro Orbiter in the heart of Tomorrowland. This attraction invites Guests to ride an elevator up to a special loading platform and whip around the skies of Tomorrowland while offering beautiful views of the Disney Parks and even Disney’s Contemporary Resort. To make a photo from the Astro Orbiter even more unforgettable, Guests should aim to ride during the nightly fireworks to snap some stunning photos of the colorful bursts above the Magic Kingdom.

Bubblegum Wall

No visit to EPCOT is complete without a photo of Spaceship Earth, the iconic structure in the very front of the Disney Park that is home to an attraction of the same name and is covered in futuristic silver triangles. While a photo of Spaceship Earth is a must, many Guests don’t think to get up close to the building where they can find the Bubblegum Wall. This colorfully designed wall near the side of Spaceship Earth features bursts of pink, blue, and purple and makes for a cheerful and bright backdrop for any photo!

Every single corner of Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is brimming with bright and fun details to immerse Guests in Andy’s backyard and truly make them feel as though they have shrunken down to the size of toys. After enjoying a ride on Toy Story Mania, Guests can check out the Popsicle Wall along the exit path, which is a quirky wall that Andy constructed with used popsicle sticks and Guests can even guess what flavor each one was by the fruity stains left behind.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is home to some beautiful locations to take photos, and many Guests consider it a necessity to take at least one photo with the massive Tree of Life. The Park’s icon can be seen from many different vantages, but a unique way to take a memorable photo with it is from the Tree of Life Trails. These quiet and serene trails bring Guests into the roots and lower limbs of the Tree of Life, where the intricate carvings of creatures can be seen up close as a unique backdrop.

One of the most unique backdrops for any photo at the Walt Disney World Resort can be found in Pandora – The World of Avatar in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. About halfway through the land, there is a small bridge that perfectly showcases the gurgling waterways, exotic plant life, incredible floating mountains, and the overall beauty of the Valley of Mo’ara. This small bridge is the best spot to grab a photo in Pandora – The World of Avatar both during the daytime and after the sun sets and the area is beautifully lit with bioluminescence.
