It's the happiest and most magical place on Earth — and also one of the most photogenic! We're talking, of course, about Disneyland, the original Disney theme park in Anaheim, CA. Although the streets of the park are always full of people, there are some amazing spots, both out in the open and a little tucked away, where you can take that perfect shot to share your Disney dreams with your Instagram followers. From Disney landmarks to new additions, here are some of the best and most Instagram-friendly spots at Disneyland — plus a few tips and tricks for getting the perfect shot once you're there!
The blue-and-white wall near It's A Small World has become a go-to Instagram spot — it even has its own Instagram account to aggregate all the cute pics that park-goers take.
Located among the old-fashioned shops on Main Street, U.S.A., the Candy Palace is basically Aladdin's Cave of Wonders, but with bright lights and classic candy instead of gold and treasure.
The former Paradise Pier (now renamed Pixar Pier) remains a classic spot for visitors to California Adventure. Posing in front of the giant Ferris wheel just off the pier is an iconic shot.
A revamped section of Tom Sawyer's Island has been turned into a pirate-themed cove full of rocky nooks and crannies (and some shiny treasure!) for perfect Instagramming.
If you're a Disney fanatic, you know about the Mickeys hidden all over every Disney resort. This one, though, is in plain sight: on the pavement between Disneyland and California Adventure.
It's an oldie but a goodie: the gleaming, classic carousel at the heart of Fantasyland. Bonus points if you snag a shot with the nearby sword in the stone!
Disney fans know that Club 33, tucked away in New Orleans Square, is the exclusive Disney club. While the waiting list and club membership fees are probably too steep for the average visitor, you can still grab a photo outside the club's door.
One of the must-do pics for any trip to Disneyland is, of course, outside the front entrance, where the Mickey-shaped garden sits in front of the main train station.
Officially known as "Partners," the adorable statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse looking out over their "kingdom" is a sweet landmark and perfect for Instagram.
