Welcome to the gateway to all of Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom! Main Street reflects the early 1900s with quaint shops and restaurants and a couple of attractions. Note: Main Street remains open one hour after scheduled closing time for the Park.

Attractions

The Disneyland Railroad
At the entrance to the Park, these real steam engines will take you on a trip around the Kingdom, with stops in New Orleans Square, Mickey's Toontown and Tomorrowland. It's a nice relaxing trip, and for some added entertainment, between Tomorrowland and Main Street stations the train passes trhough the Grand Canyon and Primeval World dioramas. The Grand Canyon diorama depicts the Grand Canyon, complete with mountain lions, and the Primeval World shows Audio Animatronic dinosaurs and some lava. Also, between New Orleans Square and Mickey's Toontown stations the train passes through Splash Mountain and the finale scene can be viewed from the train.
USUAL WAIT: 5 minutes at peak times

The Walt Disney Story featuring Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln
One of the hidden gems of Main Street lies in the Opera House on Town Square. You enter and see an exhibit and some films on the life of Walt Disney, and then enter the theater to see Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, a presentation that shows film clips and an incredibly lifelike Abraham Lincoln Audio Animatronic who performs great quips from his famous speeches. Little kids will be bored out of their minds, but it is a great experience and it can be fun. Also, on the way out be sure to check out the Fifth Freedom mural.
USUAL WAIT: None.

Main Street Vehicles
presented by National Car Rental
A quick and fun means of getting from Town Square to Central Plaza. You can pick from an Omnibus (sit with the driver), Horse-drawn streetcars, fire engines and horseless carriages also transport guests to Sleeping Beauty Castle. One way transportation only.
USUAL WAIT: None.

Main Street Cinema
This quaint little movie theater shows six different classic Mickey Mouse cartoons (all early). Steamboat Willie, Plane Crazy and others are constantly playing here. It's air conditioned and provides a way to escape the summer heat.
USUAL WAIT: None.

Shops

20th Century Music Company
This new shop features tons of CDs and videos, plus The Disneyland Foever kiosks make their second home here. It's very nice and well stocked.

Candy Palace & Candy Kitchen
This is the best place in all of Disneyland to satisfy your sweet tooth. Every confection imaginable is available for your taste inspection (of course, you have to pay them first).

China Closet
Currently the China Closet is an enchanting Christmas shop with many holiday goodies. No word on what will become of it after January 2.

Crystal Arts
Beautiful glassware and remarkable jewelry are available here. On site glassblowers make stunningly gorgeous, and VERY expensive glassware. It's very nice just to stroll through and wish you could buy it all.

The Disneyana Shop
The collector's dream! Art Classics, E-Ticket Magazines, coffetable books, sculptures and all the stuff you wish you could buy without being evicted is available here. My second favorite shop in the park, besides The Disney Gallery in New Orleans Square.

Emporium
The largest shop in Disneydom stocks every item of Disneyland merchandise available, and the store is HUGE. Be sure to check out the window displays based on the latest Disney animated instant-masterpiece.

Main Street Magic Shop
This little boutique stocks great magic items, some nifty tricks, and the cast members are always on hand to teach you a new illusion. Very entertaining.

Main Street Photo Supply Co.
presented by Kodak
Forgot film? Forgot the camera? Here's the place to get all your camera needs. And during the day, if you got your picture taken by a cast member who handed you a card with any of the Princesses, Mickey (at his house) or Pooh (in Critter Country), here's the place to pick those photos up.

New Century Timepieces
Think watch and clock emporium. There are trons of beautiful watches and clocks available here, and lots of spiffy stuff. After going to all these shops, I'd hate to be next to you when you open your credit card bill.

Newsstand
This small souvenir stand is half inside the Park, half out. It's for those who forgot that one thing and they didn't get their hand stamped. Cast members will fetch your item and bring it to you. Also it serves as the final place to buy that Mickey Mouse glow wand.

Penny Arcade
Now more candy shop than arcade, here you can spend your pennies and quarters on old fashioned video (uh...video?) games and the like.

Silhouette Studio
For a price you can get your likeness put into a silhouette by a Disney artist. It's a great keepsake and it's a lot of fun.

The Mad Hatter
Almost the same as its Fantasyland counterpart, this is the best place to buy the really cool yet ultra expensive Disney headgear. Adjacent to the Opera House.

Restaurants

Blue Ribbon Bakery
hosted by Nestle Toll House
This charming little patisserie serves up excellent coffee and scrumptious pastries and cookies. This is my favorite place in the Park to eat breakfast. It's great!! $

Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor
hosted by Nestle Ice Cream
Another charming eatery, this is one of the places to get great ice cream. Sundaes cones and the like are all available and are all very good. $

Main Street Cone Shop
hosted by Nestle Ice Cream
Yet another ice cream shop. $

Plaza Inn
hosted by Columbian Coffee Growers
Recently renovated (it's gorgeous), this restaurant is wonderful and has fantastic food. It's sort of set up like Redd Rockett's in Tomorrowland, but unlike the Pizza Port, the Plaza Inn also hosts a cute character breakfast starring Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and Eeyore. The food is always great, and the reatuarnt serves breakfast until 10:30am, and then they commence lunch near noon, and dinner around four. $$

Coca-Cola Refreshment Corner
hosted by Coca-Cola
This small counter service place serves snacks and big Cokes. Be sure to sit on the patio and listen to Rod Miller play the piano....he's fantastic! $
