Disneyland, Paris

Before considering visiting Disneyland for capturing pictures, bear in mind selfie sticks are banned there. If you have long enough arms that they can take selfies with the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland, you are lucky enough. If they are not, however, you can request other tourists to help.

Another rule regarding pictures in Disney land is that all self-respecting selfie-takers should move around with a mini mouse or mickey mouse headband. Bearing in mind they go for $20, and you will not use them again, they are quite expensive; if this doesn’t sound much of an option to you, you can buy one and share it with your friend or borrow from a lucky passer-by.

If you are among the luckiest people in the world, you can end up with a cooler selfie if you capture one near the life-sized dolls which are always strolling in the park. You will not have to give the actors some cash for the image; instead, a friendly ‘merci’ will do the trick.
