Magic Kingdom - Main Street, U.S.A.
Main Street, U.S.A. Overview
Guests entering the Magic Kingdom
emerge from the tunnel under the Walt Disney World Railroad and step into the turn
of the century American Main Street, U.S.A. You'll first
enter the Town Square complete with a City Hall (Guest Services)
and Fire Station. Next to the Fire Station, you'll
find The
Harmony Barber Shop. This is a real working hair salon where haircuts and beard/moustache trims are offered. You can
also get Baby's
First Haircut with a certificate to remember this magical moment.
Travel along Main Street in a Disney horse drawn trolley, fire engine, omnibus, jitney or horseless carriage. Along the way you'll
pass such hometown staples as the Main Street Bakery and Main Street Cinema. The windows above
the shops include the names of Disney executives, contributing
artists and family members.
As you pass under the Main Street Walt Disney World Railroad station, you'll find the theater on your right. (This was originally the Town Square Exposition Hall). The Town Square Theater offers a few different things for guests. Probably the most popular is the meet and greet area for Mickey Mouse. Read about this experience here. Tinker Bell's Magical Nook is also open here for guests to meet Tinker Bell.
The Theater is also the home to the Camera Center. This is a terrific
spot to get any camera supplies that you may need (Did your camera run out of batteries after you'd waited in line for that treasured character photo?). PhotoPass headquarters are located here as well. You can view your PhotoPass pictures, order prints or CDs, and ask any questions that you may have about this service. Finally, for pin collectors, there's a select assortment
of pins found here. You'll also find a variety of picture
frames available for purchase, as well as a limited selection
of merchandise.
The street ends at the Plaza, or hub of the Magic
Kingdom, with the breathtaking Cinderella Castle. At the
Main Street train station for the Walt Disney World Railroad,
guests board one of the four steam powered trains for
a 1½ mile trek around the Magic Kingdom. The trains,
"Lily Belle", "Roy O. Disney", "Walter
E. Disney" and the "Roger E. Broggie",
are authentic steam engines found by Disney in Mexico,
and brought to the U.S. where they were completely overhauled.
The 20-minute journey is a slow, but relaxing way to enjoy the park.
Hungry guests will find a number of choices along and close to Main Street. The sit down restaurants in this area are the
The Crystal Palace (Character buffet), Tony's Town Square (Italian), and the Plaza Restaurant (sandwiches and burgers).
For fast food, Casey's Corner offers hot dogs and fries. Snacks and beverages can be found at the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor, Main Street Confectionary, and the Main Street Bakery.
Every imaginable souvenir can be found in shops like The Chapeau (for monogrammed Mickey ears), Crystal Arts, Main Street Gallery, Newsstand, Uptown Jewelers, Main Street Cinema, Disney Clothiers, Main Street Athletic Club, and the Emporium.
