Magic Kingdom Main Street USA

WELCOME TO THE MOST MAGICAL PLACE ON EARTH.......WALT DISNEY WORLD!

"I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing–that it was all started by a mouse."

- Walt Disney

Magic Kingdom theme park, one of 4 Theme Parks in Walt Disney World Resort, captures the enchantment of fairy tales with exciting entertainment, classic attractions, backstage tours and beloved Disney Characters.

Designed like a wheel with the hub in front of Cinderella Castle, pathways spoke out across the 107 acres of Magic Kingdom theme park and lead to these 7 whimsical lands: The first land I am talking about is Main Street U.S.A!

Casey's corner is a popular quick service restaurant that is always busy especially during the parades and fireworks. Here you can get your hot dogs, burgers, french fries and whatever else you would like. (Pictured above)

As Soon as you walk into the Magic Kingdom you will be walking under the Walt Disney World Railroad which is pictured above. Walt Disney World Railroad, Train StationTake a ride back in time on one of Walt Disney World's Steam Powered Engines. You can't miss the Main Street train station as you enter the Magic Kingdom. This scenic stop is the first spot where you'll hear "all aboard" before the train sets out on its 20 minute journey along the rails. In addition to Main Street, the trains stop at Frontierland and Toontown. If you're looking for a break from the crowds as well as an easy way to get around the park, the trains are the way to go.
Disney World Railroad Fun Facts: The Disney World trains are named the Lilly Belle (after Walt's wife Lillian), the Roger E. Broggie (legendary Disney Imagineer), the Roy O. Disney (Walt's brother) and there's one named after Walt himself. The locomotives were built in the U.S. between 1916 and 1928 and were sent to the Yucatan where they were used to haul freight. Walt was a passionate railroad fan and had them brought to Disney World where they've transported guests since the park opened. Below is a picture of the Confectionary located at the end of Main Street U.S.A. This a bakery that has ice cream and a lot more sweets.

As you get towards the end of Main Street U.S.A you will come aross a bakery called the Confectionary. Here you will find all the sweets you want. It has ice cream, candy, and much more. It can get busy as you can see by the image above.

Main Street, U.S.A.® area

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 City Hall until April 3, 2009 is Pinocchio's Marionette Garden Party.

Next to the Fire Station you'll find "The Harmony Barber Shop". This is a real working hair salon where mens/boys cuts 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 Bake Shop and Main Street Cinema. The offices over the shops include the names of Disney executives, contributing artists and family members.Town Square Exposition Hall
As you pass under the Main Street Walt Disney World Railroad station, you'll find the "Exposition Hall" on your right. Hosted by Kodak, this Camera Center is a terrific spot to get any camera supplies that you may need. What many guests overlook is what lies behind the main shop. There are wonderful character cutouts that you're welcome to use to take some pix, and there are some interactive kiosks. Don't be surprised if you find a Dwarf or two....or seven. They sometimes can be found here for some memorable pictures and fun. 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 assortment of merchandise. Throughout the day you'll find the Dapper Dans Barbershop Quartet performing. With their trademark straw hats, striped vests, bowties, spats and taps, they're worth taking the time to stop and enjoy. (That's the shame about so many of these little moments. Most people rush right by them.) If you see the Dapper Dans, take the time to listen to their four part harmony for a bit.

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 1 ½ 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, brought to the U.S. where they were completely overhauled. The 21 minute journey is a slow, but relaxing way to get across 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 Crystal Palace (Character buffet), Tony's Town Square 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 Station Break, Main Street Confectionery, Market House and the Main Street Bake Shop.

Every imaginable souvenir can be found in shops like Chapeau (for monogrammed Mickey ears), Crystal Arts, Disneyana Collectibles, Disney and Company, Disney Clothiers, Emporium, Main Street Athletic Store, Kodak Camera Center, Newsstand, The Shadow Box and Uptown Jewelers.
