Hi there, Gina!
On some visits, I enjoy exploring the parks and doing almost nothing but using my DSLR camera to take hundreds of pictures of all the amazing details built into the Disneyland Resort attractions and park features. It helps me gain an even greater appreciation for the Imagineers that built in so much magic into the Happiest Place on Earth!
Yes, you are permitted to take your personal camera to the parks, though the
Disneyland Resort Rules indicate that selfie sticks, hand-held extension poles, and tripods or monopod stands that extend more than six feet are not permitted. Also,
permission must be received for professional photographers and videographers to photograph or record in the Disneyland Resort. As long as picture taking is for non-commercial, personal use, you are free to snap and share all the photos you want!
Speaking of sharing, did you know that Disneyland Resort has been recognized as the
most Instagrammed location in the world? You'll find plenty of
beautiful backdrops for perfect pics. I hope you check out some of the
great photo spots that my fellow Disney Parks Moms Panelists and I recommend around the Disneyland Resort. Be sure to take advantage of the
Disney PhotoPass photographers through the parks as well!
Say "cheese!" Gina!
