Disneyland's Main Street or Magic Kingdom's Main Street?

[BasiltheBatLord]

DL cause it has the Main Street Cinema.

Disneyland of course. They have an actual cinema still running, the buildings are just the right size and it’s the original. The hub also isn’t a parking lot with fake grass, no shade and no where to sit.

Magic Kingdom voters, tell us why, because otherwise I'm assuming you havent actually been to Disneyland.

exactly! i would love to hear from
the people that voted MK on this one.

DL by a longshot. But MK does score a few points for having a functional barber shop, if you ever were so inclined to have your haircut while inside the park.

are you serious?

 

[ReadySetDisney]

Genuinely I can't decide, love them both for different reasons, DL for the charm and History, MK for the grand victorian architecture.

My favorite Main Street is actually DLP's because of the arcades and the bricked road, but I definitely prefer DL's over MK's. The bricked sidewalks of DL's Main Street simply look nicer than all the red concrete MK uses instead.

It's funny...it took me almost 2 days to realize the brick was there in DLP (this past May). I remember thinking there was something "warm" about the feel and didn't realize what it was until someone said "brick". I loved the look! And the castle at the end of Main St...so far my favorite of the 3 i've seen (Sorry DLR/WDW).

110% It’s always been there, at least as long as I can remember. Wedged between the firehouse and Emporium.

Wow. It always amazes me when I hear something new. How many people actually get haircuts there?

It is usually booked up. Borrowing heavily from the Magic Kingdom, Disneyland Paris also has a barber shop, Dapper Dan's Hair Cuts.

I know a lot of AP holders do it at Magic Kingdom. It's actually a pretty good deal. It's $19 for adults, $17 for kids. You get a haircut and pixie dust in your hari.

I got my first haircut there... my mom said they do this giant party and Mickey Mouse came and he gave a printed certificate and a Mickey Ear Hat with "First Haircut" emroidered on the back. You also get pixie dust and more she said. It's only $25 (a few dollars less than a Mickey Hat at the Emporium).

I can only imagine how backed up the the waiting list would be if they had a barbershop at DL. All those neck bearded vloggers.

If you liked the look of DLP's, you should also check out HKDL's. A near clone of Disneyland's Main Street except it swaps the brick sidewalks for the brick road like DLP. The mountains in the background behind the castle are beautiful too. A shame their new castle will probably block that view out when it's completed.

Disneyland for its Main Street Cinema, Magic Shop, and longer hours for its charming vehicles. It's just too bad about that hideous fake-rocks-and-whirligig-monstrosity on the right as you reach the hub.

I've always heard about the bottleneck that those fake rocks caused. I never experienced a bottle neck in Tomorrowland at all the three days I was in Disneyland...

I only experienced a bottleneck in Fantasyland by Mad Tea Party and a bottleneck at the entrance to Adventureland.

There are certain things I like about both parks. WDW's has a grander feel to it but the giant emporium and lack of unique stores hurts it. The Barber shop is very cool, their Confectionary/Candy Store is massive. Disneyland's has a quaintness and just works better for me. That's not saying WDW's is bad...it's really got some beautiful architecture.

 

[Missing20K]

Disneyland. For much of the same reasons others have stated.

But truly the DLP Main Street, as others have said, takes the cake. It's incredibly detailed. And the Liberty Arcade next to Main Street may be my favorite Disney "place" I've yet experienced.

 

[NateD1226]

DLP Main Street is just beautiful! It is one of my favorite things there! I love the other Main Streets too, but this one is the best.

But does it have a robotic President Lincoln?

That President Lincoln robot gave me nightmares when I was a kid.
