This shot works best when crowds are low, so you might need an early morning breakfast reservation at one of the Magic Kingdom restaurants.

This is one of my favourite places to take a photo of the castle, from the bridge crossing into Liberty Square. Throw in a sunset and you’ve got a memorable photograph!

Cinderella Castle Parade

If you watch the parade from just in front of the castle you can capture any of your favourite floats with the castle behind. This one of Minnie and Mickey in their hot air balloon is my favorite.

As the Holidays approach the castle is covered with fairy lights and it’s the perfect time of year to get a different shot of the castle.
