Default disneyland

Hi there,
I don't know whether to use 'at' or 'in' in the following sentences.

During the last weekend, we took a photos at the disneyland OR in the disneyland.

Many thanks

pete

Both are ok but don't use the article "the". I would also eliminate the "during the" and the comma.

Last weekend we took a photos at Disneyland.
Last weekend we took a photos in Disneyland.

I prefer the first one unless the context of other sentences suggests you are inside Disneyland.

Naamplao,

I wish I could type as quickly as you can! You are sooooooo fast that you inadvertently added a couple of extra words!

Naamplao,

I should have said: I wish I could clone as quickly as you can!
