Photos of Disneyland's periphery

Disneyland

"Disneyland Resort" includes Disneyland, Disneyland Hotel, Downtown Disney, Grand Californian Hotel, TDAB, and more.

Mickey benches can be found around the Disneyland ticket booth area.

A monorail goes by every 0-20 minutes, depending on track location and monorail breakdowns.

Of course there is always the entrance area of Disneyland itself when walking along Disneyland's periphery. Disneyland is most easily accessible from Harbor Blvd. and from Downtown Disney. There is a security check when entering the ticket booth area, where backpacks and camera cases must be opened for the security guards, but no security check when leaving.

Once in the ticket booth area one can photograph the entrances of Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure, there is nice Disney-themed background music (including instrumental versions of "California Girls," the Indiana Jones theme song, the Star Wars theme song, "The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room," "Yo Ho," "When You Wish Upon a Star," "Zippity Do Dah," and more), the monorail glides by as if posing for photographs (at least when that portion of the track is open), there are nice flowers, parking trams you can ride for free, and Mickey Mouse shaped benches.

Disney's California Adventure

Posing in front of the letters for "CALIFORNIA" outside Disney's California Adventure has become standard practice.

Gimmicky and overphotographed, Tower of Terror is lighted purple at night.
