WDW MK Main Street USA

[Mouse Man]

What is your favorite thing, be it sight, smell or feeling that when you enter the MK and are looking down Main Street. For me it's a few things:

1) The colors
2) Balloons
3) Horses
4) seeing the Castle from a far
5) The smell of Pop Corn
6) The sounds of the street bands

Lastly when I enter the MK for the first time and look down main street my senses come alive, I get really excited and at the same time get a peaceful feeling that everything is right in the world. Nothing else matters and it says welcome home friend.

For me it's knowing that I'm in the gates & only 1750 feet from the Haunted Mansion!

It used to be the magic shop, now its my cheese danish at the bakery, and a close second is fudge

The colors and the design/architecture of main street...love it all, smells and sounds included

 

[Mrs.Toad]

The turn of the century Edwardian feel of the architecture and interiors of the shop.

The music loop is cheerful and entrancing.

The ability to tour the park on the rr if you wish to leave Main Street.

Strolling down the street and knowing you are inching ever closer to the castle and the other land hubs.

And that a seriously good cheesesteak awaits me at the Plaza.

And even before you enter Main Street, I love the old attraction posters as you enter the park that get you pumped before you reach them. Especially the JC, POTC, and BTM artwork.

Seeing the castle gets me everytime

I love the smell coming from about a little more than halfway up Main Street to the right. I think it could be a candy shop or bakery. But it smells amazing.

 

[foreverbelle]

Hmm I love standing there with the smell of fresh baked goods, looking at the Castle and thinking I am finally home.

 

[JustInTime]

Seeing the prospective of the castle from mainstreet.

I love MS:USA. It always feels like home to me. I love the barbershop quartet. I love the smell of the bakery, and the fresh popcorn. I love the vivid colors from the buildings, CM's clothing, the balloons, etc. I love the music that pipes throughout the street. Plus, you gotta love the view of Cinderella's Castle. It's truly breathtaking.

 

[Susan Savia]

All of the above!

walking under the train station on to Main Street and hearing the music! haahh, home at last, the sights, sounds, smells, all together.... the sight of the beautiful castle!

 

[Mrs.Toad]

Mouse Man,

Love this thread.

Maybe do one for every land, because they all give off a different vibe and generate different feelings and emotions.

 

[DisneyParksFan1]

Main Street is an amazing land.

 

[mp2bill]

I like the horses...except for when they go to the bathroom.

You said it!! Great thread idea btw! Mt. Laurel NJ also representin!

Main St is my favorite "land" by far out of MK. The music loop you hear even as you simply approach the gates is entrancing. Then as i'm heading through the tunnel (we usually enter to the right), just walking in front of the Emporium, getting pictures with Goofy on the bench, and soaking in the sights, smells, sounds.. MSUSA is simply a wonder on all of the senses.

My favorite thing about Main Street is the overall realization of the kind of glorified period Americana you see in movies like "Hello, Dolly!", "The Music Man", "The Happiest Millionaire" and the fact that it can be explored in three dimensions unlike those movies.

At your own pace you can appreciate the details of the buildings, costumes, music and even smells of the place.
