3. Memorize the camera locations.

Dinosaur

Don’t get caught off-guard and miss your chance for a great close-up! Here’s where the cameras are located:

  • Space Mountain: The camera on this ride takes a photo soon after the ride starts. Right before you leave the tunnel, the camera snaps during the strobe light effects. 
  • Splash Mountain: Make sure to smile at the top of the mountain, right before the drop. 
  • Seven Dwarfs Mine Train: This ride takes two photos: one as you come down the first hill and the second when you come out of the tunnel. (Note: This ride is the only one that doesn’t have monitors where you can view or buy your photos after the ride. The photos can be viewed on your PhotoPass account.) 
  • Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin: The camera on this ride is in the final room, when the vehicle is spinning on its own. The camera is to the right of Emperor Zurg. 
  • Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith: The camera here takes a photo right as you enter the tunnel when the ride launches. 
  • The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror: This ride’s camera is a little trickier to anticipate because it takes a photo at the beginning of the ride sequences, but those sequences vary. 
  • Test Track: As soon as you go on the outside track, your picture is taken. 
  • Expedition Everest: The ride’s camera snaps at the start of the 80-foot drop. 
  • Dinosaur: The photo is taken when you see the T-rex on the right at the ride’s end.

4. Be considerate of your neighbors (and hope that they’re considerate too!).

Expedition Everest

If you’ll have strangers in your photos, try not to block them in their pictures. And, of course, don’t bring props that could possibly injure yourself or others, or props that you don't want to lose on the ride.

5. Don’t forget to smile.

Splash Mountain

Have fun, and remember – if at first you don’t succeed in getting an awesome picture, ride, ride again!
