The stroll down Main Street

[epcotisbest]

We usually linger, take it all in, enjoy the view and get a pic or two with Roy and Minnie as people rush past. Do you linger upon entry to Magic Kingdom or zoom through while headed somewhere else?

We like to linger and take it all in for sure.. the week goes by too fast.

We take a deep breath and briefly stop to take it in - then haul it to the Peoplemover and we relax there and plan our next steps.

We love ourselves some Peoplemover time

It's my favorite place to relax and take it all in.

Especially at night I think we end every trip with a few laps on the Peoplemover

It's always the first and last ride of the trip. And many times in between.

On day 1 of our trip we usually stroll down Main Street but each time we return on that same trip, we just walk and get to where we're going.

We tend to zoom past Main Street on entry (also right to Peoplemover!) but we stroll and take it in on our way out, when it's less crowded. I prefer Magic Kingdom at night, when it's all lit up.

MK at night is a completely different world as is Epcot and that is when I still get that Magical feeling of being there

Zoom if we are with the kids...stroll if not lol

 

[Worldlover71]

Sometime I stroll, sometimes I rush to squeeze in as much as I can before the crowds arrive. Either way, at some point in the day I always find time stroll down Main Street and soak it in. At night, I have been one of the last ones out more than once since I love it so much.

Zoom on by on our way to do SM if we are doing ropedrop. Take our time and enjoy it otherwise. We figure if we dragged our tired butts out of bed to make it to ropedrop, we are going to make sure and enjoy the advantages of the short lines for the first hour or two. Of course that is after having enjoyed the welcome show. Good morning to you!

On day 1, we linger, peacefully amble down the street realizing there no reason to rush cause we have all the days to follow to do what we want. Drop in the stores, watch the street performers, watch the horse driven trolley, pin trade, window shop, people watch, photograph the castle from a distance etc. We're absorbing our first moments of peaceful bliss, we've arrived at WDW.

Our first visit to the MK is in the evening on the first day and we generally take our time down Main Street. We take it all in and usually ride the train. We have done this since our first trip.

We linger several times in each trip. Probably not at long as we used to several years ago before most of the merchandise in every store was the same. We miss the days before the Emporium was turned into one long covered strip mall.

We typically arrive mid-morning and head right off to the MK after we get our hotel room settled. Arriving after rope drop means we don't feel the pressure to hurry up and get to a headliner (we know the lines are already long), so it allows us to be very leisurely. I like to take those minutes to think about all the months (actually, years!) of planning and saving and organizing that it took to get us there, and heave a contented sigh that we made it.

I have three small children and a hyper wife so I am many years from a desired leisurely stroll down Main Street. Now if there are good seasonal items in the shops, my wife is ok with taking her time.

When coming into the MK, we usually just walk right down MSUSA to our first destination. It's usually too crowded up front to really enjoy it. I MUCH prefer lingering on MSUSA after dark. We'll spend quite a bit of time there, and in the hub, toward park closing (and after).

 

[OSUgirl77]

I am usually there at rope drop, so I generally make my way to a few rides while there are no lines. Then I head back to Main St., which is usually fairly empty after that first rush of people head to their destinations. Great time to get a photo in front of the castle, too!
