TTP celebrates the goofy pictures we pose for when we let our guard down as tourists – because photos of sunsets and statues can get pretty damn boring.
We love to connect with fellow travelers who don't take themselves too seriously -- and especially seek contributions from childhood vacation albums!
SUBMITTED BY: Stacey Dunn Reid LOCATION: Orlando, Florida (2012) We all know from the movie “Jurassic Park” that the T-Rex is a ruthless and heartless beast that will crush you to bits with little or no warning. Nowhere is safe. You could even be eaten while you are on the toilet. With that actor’s [...]
SUBMITTED BY: Tacky Tourist Photos LOCATION: Orlando, Florida (2012) Old Testament fans surely don’t wanna miss the chance to play the role of Samson at the Holy Land Experience Bible park on the outskirts of Disney World. As you know, Samson destroyed the Temple to the Philistine god, Dagon (Judges 16:23-30), by pushing out the [...]

SUBMITTED BY: Ari Zackin LOCATION: Orlando, Florida (2006) It’s wonderful for Disney to take a pro-military stand! Remember when we played with these Little Green Army Men as kids, tossing pebbles at their helpless platoons? Believe it or not, these toys are now “controversial.” Thanks for sticking up for the troops, Pixar! (The Zackin family [...]
SUBMITTED BY: Ankura Singh, Andy Odgren, Debra Cohen LOCATION: Orlando, Florida (2010) Some tourists make trick photography — in this case the “forced perspective” illusion of holding an object — look really easy. Take a look at the amazing poise and finesse displayed by this casual cliffwalker in Zion National Park and these architecture buffs [...]
SUBMITTED BY: Greg Constantine LOCATION: Orlando, Florida (2009) Having absolutely no fear of public drinking fountains, holding subway poles or sticking his tongue on supermarket carts, Greg eagerly awaits his first taste of germ-covered pretend honey.
