Why Main Street USA Is The Reason Why You Should Take The Kids To Magic Kingdom First
For me going to Disney for the first time ever was a truly unforgettable experience. I remember everything from being petrified on the Haunted Mansion to drinking from one of those small Nesquik cartons that you just don’t seem to be able to buy nowadays. Although Disneyworld has four main theme parks along with the water parks too it is the Magic Kingdom that seems to have the most impact on the kids to start off with and Main Street USA is the place that kicks it all off!
One of the main reasons that anyone would take a child to Disneyworld is to see their faces light up as soon as they enter the park. Kids are just so wowed by the park as soon as they enter the gates because there is always so much going on down this part of the Magic Kingdom.
More often than not you will find there are marching bands walking down the street, people with giant Mickey and Minnie Mouse balloons up and about and if you are really lucky you will find horses and carriages waiting to take you to the entrance of Cinderella Castle. On top of all of this you get the sweet aroma of candies, pastries and all other kinds of treats wafting out from the Main Street stores.
If you turn up just before three in the afternoon you will be treated to one of the best performances in Disneyworld and it is of course the Magic Kingdom Parade. This starts of in Main Street but you need to make sure you get your place because it gets quite packed up to an hour before the parade starts.
The street wouldn’t be the same without the characters and if you are there at the right times of day you will spot many of the characters from the Disney cast including all the favourites like Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Minnie. Note that the parade is a key time of the day to spot all of these characters and much more all in the same place.
So without actually even exploring the rest of Magic Kingdom it would seem that Main Street USA is a fantastic place to take the kids first when it comes to a vacation in Disneyworld!
