Main Street Vehicle times?

[Hayden Cavendish]

I'll be heading to Orlando for my first WDW trip in September (for a whopping 27 nights, no less - well, it is my first time in the USA!!) Anyway, I was looking at the times for the Main Street Vehicles on the official website and it says that they only run from Park opening until 10.15 AM. Is that right? Or is it a typo? I'd love to travel on one of these things, but I may not get the chance if they stop running so early. Getting into one of the major attractions before the queues get too long is a bigger priority. I'd be grateful if any of you guys could shed some light on this

The times are correct. My 9 year old enjoys riding and the drivers are usually entertaining. Just a short one way ride from City Hall to the castle so it shouldn't interfere with getting on a ride, especially that early in the morning.

Thanks! I was just a little surprised that the vehicles only run for a couple of hours.

Actually, we've been disappointed a few times when they closed the Main Street vehicles at about 9:30 or 9:45 due to crowds on Main Street.

That's such a shame. When I saw the Omnibus running at MK, I remember thinking I HAD to go on it as I've never seen it running in my many many trips.

In California or Tokyo it's such a common sight to see it running.

Rode in one last year and the driver had the patience of a saint. The number of people who could clearly see us coming but decided to stop and stand in the way to take a photograph making her stop was ridiculous .

It is a shame they are not out more on the street. But giant crowds and those horrid street parties chase the vehicles off the street. Before the street parties the vehicles ran all day. Same is true for the horse Trolley. It is done at 12:30. The Trolley has so much trouble with the sea of people they send several cast to escort the trolley and clear the people off the tracks. It runs a little later to do the Trolley show. It also used to run all day. My last visit to Disneyland in California the Trolley and vehicles still ran most of the day.

When the crowd is not so big the vehicles will at times go back on the street in the evening before the night parade but after the last street party is over. The evening appearance is unscheduled and at the discretion of management.

As I said, patience of a saint and a very frustrating journey

What time was the first video taken? I couldn't work out why so many people would be leaving if it was early in the morning.

Either was the driver did an amazing job.

I didn't film it so unfortunately couldn't tell you, sorry.

Actually the clock they pass on Main Street appears to show 6:25pm at about the 1 min mark.

Looking at the shadows, the Main Street USA vehicle was sometime late in the day since the sun is coming from the west and the shadows are long toward the east, whereas the Omnibus video, must be early morning since the sun is coming from the east and those shadows are long toward the west.
