World Bazaar (Disneyland Park Anaheim)




Main Street World Bazaar is the turn-of-the-century street, utilized at the entrance of the Magic Kingdom, based on the childhood home of Walt Disney. Main Street U.S.A. is quite possibly one of the best areas of the Magic Kingdom because it stays true to its' theme. As soon as you enter the turnstiles of the Disneyland, in front of you lies the World Bazaar Railroad Station, hosting the Disneyland Railroad. In front of the station lies a beautiful flower display, depicting the face of Mickey Mouse. The sound of the oncoming train could be heard approaching from around the corner of the park.



To the left and right of the flower display are passages under the train station, leading into the heart of Main Street U.S.A. Inside of the passages are posters from several attractions throughout the park, from classic attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion, to the more recent additions, such as Star Tours: The Adventures Continue and Mickey's Soundsational Parade. The smell of popcorn seems to travel throughout the passages. The two passages then expand into the Town Square of Main Street U.S.A. In the center of Town Square, lies the American flag pole, surrounded by beautiful gardens, a frequest location for several Meet & Greets with characters, such as Donald, Goofy, Sora, Pluto, Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar.

Once inside of the Town Square, guests can find the spiraling staircases leading up to the Main Street Train Station. Once at the doors of the station, one can see far down to the opposite end of Main Street World Bazaar. all the way to the inspiring and beautiful Sleeping Beauty Castle.  Down the street, one can see the Horse-Drawn Trolley and the Main Street Vehicles making their way down the street. The Mayor of Main Street and the other residents of Main Street mingle with the guests, amking sure that they are enjoying their day. If you are lucky, you maky catch a glimpse of the Main Street Marching Band making their way down the street.


To the left in the Town Square Plaza, lies City Hall, a frequest guest relations and information location. To the right of City Hall, lies the Main Street Firehouse, the new home-base location for the Sorcerers of the Disneyland Park interactive game, which will be discussed a bit later. Across the way, lies the Opera House Theater, Which Includes The Disneyland Story Featuring Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.




Across the Way is Main Street Cinema which showcases some of Disney's classic cartoons, such as Steamboat Willie, Clock Cleaners, Donald and Pluto, Mickey's Follies and Traffic Troubles.









Back in the center of Main Street World Bazaar., the street leads into the hub, where the Partners statue, a bronze statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse, hand-in-hand, look down towards Main Street World. The statue is surrounded by beautiful gardens and flowerbeds. Right beyond the statue is the beautiful, elegant, Sleeping Beauty Castle, which stretches high into the sky, creating the perfect image to end Main Street U.S.A. The hub is surrounded by beautiful trees and even a rose garden off to the right side of the hub, featuring many families of roses.









Off to the left of the hub, the sound of distant drumming can be heard, as the trees and vegetation clear out of the way to produce a torch-lit sign, Adventureland.
