Magic Kingdom: Main Street U.S.A

With all of the construction going on in Magic Kingdom it's a little bit harder to talk about than I originally thought. The once usual sitting spots and secret rooms have been taken out of commission for the time being and I am on a quest for new areas. My favorite spot on Main Street to just chill was the back of the Kodak building to the right as you enter the park. In this hidden gem there was a small theater which featured classic Disney cartoons such as "Steamboat Willie". This building, as is the case with many, is currently under the Disney construction facade.
In search of a new relief from the summer sun during my last visit I climbed the stairs of the Main Street Train Station. The inside is a treasure trove of old fashioned coin Stereoscope viewers. These old school flip-book style pictures are free to look through even though their casings say other wise. I suggest you take a look at all of them and get an even greater sense of the era represented on Main Street. Another nice air-conditioned sitting area is at the end of Main Street in the back of Casey's Corner. You'll find stadium style seating in front of a large screen playing classic sports cartoons.

I had heard rumor that when mailing letters or postcards from Disney property a special post stamp would be stamped on for approval. I tried this but sadly it was not true. The only thing stamped on (other than your stamp) will be an over stamp for Orlando, FL.

Main Street is known for it's shopping, mostly because it is all shops. Don't forget your discount for Seasonal/Annual Passholders! The shops include everything from Apparel, Food, Stationary, Scrapbooks, Toys, and more. 

  After shoppping when you are walking down the street during the day you'll run into some of Main Street's inhabitants, the Citizens of Main Street.  Some of the citizens will not autograph (especially Ms. Ing DePointe), but all will be more than happy for photos. They are not from any movie. From the Mayor to the town gossip, Pinthusiasts to Politicians these time traveled cast members are well in their era. Ask them about any modern technology and they will appear completely flabbergasted.

Once construction is cleared up I'll update on the changes made to the entrance of the Magic Kingdom.

Until then, Have a Magical Day!
