The left side of Disneyland Main Street USA at Disneyland is set for some “referb” work in 2012, so I wanted to capture what I could before things change.
Main Street in Disneyland is similar but different from Main Street in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. Sure, the building is a little smaller but the details are incredible. The Penny Arcade and the Carnation Café are wonderful, and at the time of editing both closed for refurbishment. The Penny Arcade is a throwback to all of the turn of the century arcades, complete with Penny Machines, and the Carnation Cafe is a wonderful spot for a quick-bight, smack in the middle of Main Street!
Here is hoping the penny arcade games get even better and keep the nostalgia of the time period. Like Walt Disney World there is entertainment all over Main Street. The Firehouse 5 Plus 2 band is an original all the way back to Walt himself. I was able to catch one of their shows. I wrap up with a look at the Firehouse Five + 2 Disneyland band, and original and a must-see. You never know who is going to help out with the show!
