Welcome to Main Street USA where everyday stress disappears and life slows down to a stroll. The streets are free from clutter. The tiny shops are owned by friendly townspeople.
Walt Disney summed up the themed land when he said, “for those of us who remember the carefree time it recreates, Main Street will bring back happy memories. For younger visitors, it is an adventure in turning back the calendar to the days of their grandfather's youth.”
That quote, now over 50 years old, may not pertain to today’s visitors since they have no recollection of the late 1800’s/early 1900’s, but the spirit of experiencing America’s past—a past that many have seen in pictures, on TV, or heard about from grandparents or great grandparents—still makes it personal for guests . Though historians may argue that Walt Disney’s Main Street USA is a fabricated, “romantic” recreation of a small American town from over a hundred years ago, there is no denying the sense of nostalgia Walt Disney created. The calendar IS turned back the moment guests emerge from beneath the train station out into Town Square. Main Street USA dazzles the eyes, ears, and nose in a remarkable tribute to a bygone era. A rare tribute only found in a Disney theme park.
