many thanks in advance Mike
Disney have even thought of this.
As you walk around the Parks you will see yellow Kodak Signs with a camera on, these indicate good picture taking opportunities.
The best view of the Castle, in my view is from Main Street, this is also a good place to watch the Parades and the Fireworks, although as you would expect it does get busy.
Hope this helps.
As you are in Indian pointe, if you leave onto Poinciana the sun sets in front of you
in the summer, thats where I go some lovely sunset pictures
Don't be afraid to ask other visitors to take your photo in the theme parks.
We get asked all of the time, and often ask others to take ours.
It means that we have some great pictures of the two of us as opposed to the usual, individual shots.

First time we went to Disney, over 15 years ago I won a photography competition back home with my fireworks photos from Epcot. From memory we were stood by the wall overlooking the lagoon behind Morrocco - had the islands trees silouetted against the fireworks.

In Universal Studios I got a great picture of the children with Shrek. The official photographer was there and gave us a ticket, but as we were engaging in a one-sided conversation with the great green one I had my camera at the ready and snapped away on bended knee. I always find that if you can engage and exchange some topical pleasantries with the characters they are even more accommodating... you know the sort of thing, a Bonjour to Belle and a line of Neversmile at a crocodile when in the company of Captain Hook.
It is nice to get an official photo too as a momento.
John always gets one poster size picture of him and Isaac on a big scary ride, we have quite a collection now adorning Isaac's room. One tip here though if you get the poster size there is no European equivalent size so it may be best to buy a frame at the same time or one of the stores like Target or Wal-mart. As we did not buy a frame for the first one we had to have it custom framed and then with the rest as we wanted them to match.
Happy snapping
