Welcome to Main Street U. S. A.

Walt Disney’s memories of his boyhood hometown of Marceline, Missouri guided his vision of Disneyland when he first began planning his magical theme park. One of those memories was of walking down Kansas Avenue – now called Main Street USA. In 1906, most of these buildings were here for Walt to walk past and spy into the shops. When you walk down Main Street USA in Marceline, you can imagine the same things Walt did, and take that experience home with you.
