Touring the Instagram Walls of the Disneyland Resort

The Disneyland Resort has always been one of the most popular photo locations on the planet. From Sleeping Beauty Castle to Disneyland Park's main gate Floral Mickey design, millions of guests pose, preen, and share Disneyland Resort's most iconic images every year. Now, according to Instagram, the Resort has the distinct honor of being the most Instagrammed location in the world.

Since the increase in selfies and social media in general, guests have discovered their own perfect backdrops at which to take a Disney photo. For most guests walking past, these locations or walls are just empty spaces, but for Instagrammers, these themed walls are blank canvases to create a Disney-stamped shot. And now, Disneyland Resort has taken the trend further by adding in a few subtle venues specifically for the perfect selfie.

DISNEYLAND PARK WALLS

The trend began with guests using a portion of "it's a small world" wall as the ideal background to showcase their newest Mickey ears or other merchandise. From there, the hunt began to find that perfect selfie wall in every Disneyland "land". #itsasmallworldwall #smallworldwall

MICKEY'S TOONTOWN

Minnie Mouse fans are scurrying to Minnie's House to take advantage of the polka-dot wall. This red spotted background is perfect for the classic black Mickey ears. #minniewall

TOMORROWLAND

Blast yourself up to Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters for two fun and bright Instagram walls. Toy Story characters accessories and neon colors are the best for these two locations. #buzzlightyearastroblasters

FRONTIERLAND

The Wild West offers a rustic look to any selfie. Head toward the entrances to Galaxy's Edge for some western props settled in the background. This is a perfect backdrop for Woody and Jessie accessories.

DISNEY CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE PARK WALLS

Disneyland Resort really upped the Instagram game in Disney California Adventure Park. Although Hollywood Land already provides several backdrops — it is patterned after a studio backlot — Disney added backdrops specifically for selfies and the social media world. But first, a look at some of the earlier backdrops gaining popularity on Instagram.

HOLLYWOOD LAND

Schmoozie's is one of Disney California Adventure Park's original landmarks. The exterior decorative tile work is festive, quirky and makes a colorful background for Instagrammers. #schmoozieswall

For Marvel-ous photo options, Hollywood Land also incorporates some super backgrounds for potential heroes. Assemble with your best Avengers gear at these locations. #disneylandcaptainamerica #disneylandspiderman
