Exploring Main Street U.S.A. – Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom is a theme park that consists of 6 distinct lands, each with their own attractions and experiences.

This is where you get your first look at Cinderella Castle, hear iconic park music, and become introduced to the spirit of Magic Kingdom. Some guests tend to quickly stroll through Main Street U.S.A. in order to venture deeper into the park, but this area of Magic Kingdom deserves plenty of time and attention.

Modeled after small-town America in the 20th century, the details of Main Street U.S.A. work together to transform guests into another world. If you are planning on visiting Magic Kingdom then be sure to make time for Main Street and experience all it has to offer. Continue reading as we explore Main Street U.S.A.
