Main Street runs from Disneyland’s entrance to the hub in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle. The street holds shops, restaurants and small attractions, while the railroad station and Opera House sit around Town Square.
Things to do
Disneyland Railroad
Steam trains circle the park, with Main Street as one of the stations. Check the day’s service before using the train to reach another land.
Main Street Vehicles
Horse-drawn streetcars and early motor vehicles make one-way trips along the street when conditions allow. Service often ends before the park closes.
Walt Disney – A Magical Life
A film about Walt Disney leads into an Audio-Animatronics presentation in the Main Street Opera House.
Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln
The Lincoln presentation shares the Opera House with Walt Disney – A Magical Life. Check the posted rotation for the program you want.
Main Street Opera House exhibits
The lobby exhibits cover Disneyland’s development and Walt Disney’s work. The theater program and lobby displays are separate parts of the visit.
Main Street Cinema
A standing-room cinema plays early Mickey Mouse cartoons on several screens.
The Dapper Dans
A barbershop quartet performs on Main Street. Use the day’s entertainment schedule for times.
Food and drink
Carnation Cafe
Table-service American food with indoor and patio seating along Main Street.
Plaza Inn
Character breakfast uses its own reservation and pricing. Later meals use the restaurant’s quick-service menu.

Getting around
Parades and nighttime shows change how people move along the street. Shops may have connected interiors, but they are not a guaranteed bypass around a closed parade crossing. Check the railroad and vehicle schedules separately from park hours.
