Main Street, U.S.A.®

You can’t help but be swept away by the nostalgia of the turn-of-the-century inspired Main Street, U.S.A.®. The streets of this all-American small town (inspired in part by Marceline, Missouri where Walt Disney grew up) are lined with shops and restaurants, a delight to both the young and the young-at-heart. You can travel down Main Street, U.S.A.® by foot, horse-drawn trolley, fire engine, omnibus, jitney, or horseless carriage where you’ll relish the authentic details that appeal to every single one of your senses. From the barbershop quartet singing perfect four-part harmonies and the smell of fresh-baked cookies permeating the air, to the amazing architectural details. And at the end of Main Street, U.S.A. is Cinderella Castle, the icon of Magic Kingdom® Park.

Cara’s Tip: Be sure to allow plenty of time to enjoy Main Street, U.S.A. Too many people rush through this part of the Magic Kingdom Park experience. No matter how many times you visit, you are bound to discover something new and exciting each time!
