Main Street USA
As you first enter The Magic Kingdom this will be the first "land" you
will encounter. As you make your way under the Walt Disney World Railroad
Station you will already be able to feel like you have been transported from
reality to Disney's version of a turn-of-the-century Main Street. Main Street is
divided up into four "blocks", Southwest, Southeast, Northwest, and
Northeast. At the Southern part of Main Street is the Town Square Area where you
can find The Main Street Railroad Station, and City
Hall. At the Northern part of Main Street you can find the
"hub" of the park which will lead you to the other six lands of The
Magic Kingdom, as well as to Cinderella's Castle. There are a few minor
attractions here, and over a dozen stores selling a variety of clothing,
character merchandise, camera rentals, chocolate, and those mousekeeter hats.
Walt Disney World Railroad
The Walt Disney World Railroad is
powered by a real 1928 steam engine which circles the entire park making brief
stops at Frontierland and Mickey's Toontown Fair. The railroad is a great
introduction to The Magic Kingdom giving guests a preview of all seven lands.
Walt Disney World
has three locomotives, The Lilly Belle named after Walt Disney's wife, The
Roger E. Broggie named after an Imagineer who helped Walt Disney layout the
scale-model train in his backyard, and The Roy O. Disney named after
Walt Disney's older brother.
