We enjoyed the experience so much we decided to buy the photo they took, but forgot at the end of the day and we had already left for home... :-(. But we have the one that cracked us all up and I always remember the faces of those guys just laughin'.

I always have them take our photos due to I am never in my personal ones!

Originally Posted By Loreigh Ive always had great experiances with the Photographers and each time I go to Disneyland I buy one of the pictures taken in front of the castle ( I have a whole wall filled of pretty much the same picture just with different outfits!). At the very least the photographers are good about taking a picture of you with your own camera so it doesnt hurt to stop for a few minutes and strike a pose.

It used to be you'd see one at each end of Main St. with the castle being the major draw. However, now I laugh as I look down Main St....they're like manhole covers...equally spaced down the middle of the street!
