Main Street U.S.A.

• Main Street USA Photo Gallery

Once you enter the “Happiest Place On Earth,” you’ll be transported back to the early 1900’s as you stroll along Main Street U.S.A. This thoroughfare is inspired by Walt Disney's boyhood hometown, Marceline, Missouri. You’ll find shops; restaurants and vehicles that transport you to yesteryear. Be sure and check out the names of the "proprietors" in some of the Main Street windows - these are some of the folks who helped Walt realize his dream of building Disneyland.

Disneyland Railroad
(Opened: July 17, 1955)
Hop on board an authentic steam train and ride around the park. There are stops in New Orleans Square, Mickey's Toontown and Tomorrowland, as well as Main Street. This is one of Disneyland’s original 17 attractions. The 1.2 mile old-fashioned narrow-gauge steam train ride moves around the Park's perimeter and includes a trip through the Grand Canyon and Primeval World dioramas. If you want to tour the entire park via the train, the entire trip takes approximately 20 minutes. If you prefer, you can hop off at any stop. The train is a great way to get around the park when parade routes are congesting the major walkways. There are usually three trains running at a time. Most of them have seats that face inward towards the park. There is one where the benches face forward. Wait for the train with benches facing the park so you can enjoy the views offered, as well as the dioramas, before returning to Main Street.
