There is a special place that Disneyland has in many hearts: the nostalgia, the ambiance, the turkey legs. And it also happens to be an awesome place to do Disneyland graduation photography. Wait, that sounds redundant, but yeah it’s a great place for grad photos. There are so many sights and backdrops, varying from iconic ones to the ones that we cultivate in our own memories. So without further adieu, here’s our graduation portrait session at Disneyland and California Adventures (DCA).
Starting at the Fantasyland Castle in Disneyland
I love this photo in front of the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland, which is the picturesque entrance to Fantasyland.
Here’s using the iconic Disneyland Carousel (also known as the King Arthur Carousel) as a backdrop for these graduation photography portraits. We do a lot a photography sessions at Disneyland, so check out the many other examples we have on our blog.
And they aren’t graduation photos without a cap and gown.
Toontown Grad Photos
After Fantasyland, we hopped up to Toontown for grad photos at Mickey’s house.
And yes, there is a graduation pin that you can pick up at the Disneyland City Hall.
And you gotta love retaking a photo from the past in the same spot over It’s a Small World ride.
California Adventures Graduation Photography
We headed over to California Adventures, since the background of the Incredicoaster and the Pixar’s Pal-a-round is unmatched. It was previously known as the Sun Wheel and Mickey’s Fun Wheel, but we like to call it the Death wheel (You can get soooooooo dizzy on the sliding ones).
Gotta love doing graduation photos with the Pixar Pier in the background, capped off with a cap and gown.
And it’s always a good time to bust out your letters jacket for the grad portraits.
Finishing the Session in Carsland
We wrapped the session in Carsland.
