Main Street USA!


 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.



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 windows above the shops include the names of Disney executives, contributing artists and family members.



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, 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.
