Customer Experience

I remember my first time walking through the gates of the Magic Kingdom. There was a distinct smell in the air; something like "mom's apple pie." I walked up what is called "Main Street" with my family and enjoyed all the friendly performers and vendors in the street. There was this one guy in white pants and a pin striped shirt who was holding what looked like a hundred balloons in his hand. If a strong gust of wind blew by he probably would've flown to the castle. I helped lessen his danger by buying a balloon for my little one. There were also other guys who had carts full of cotton candy who'd spin you off a little piece.
It was getting a little warm outside so we made a pit stop in the Main Street Bakery. This was a big mistake for a sweet-tooth such as myself. They had all manner of delectable sweets inside; chocolate chip cookies, fudge brownies, cinnamon-swirl cheesecakes, strawberry and cream filled Danishes, Boston-cream doughnuts, and (my all-time favorite) caramel-covered candy apples. Everyone had to something so, we got our sweets to go and I was ready to have some fun with my candy apple in hand.
The last stop we made on Main Street was at Casey's Corner. We came inside and all the workers had on baseball suits and they had "The old-ball-game" music on. It was just like being at a baseball game minus an actual baseball game. The main dish at this food stand are the hot-dogs. You can get a big foot-long one or just a short beefy one and put all manner of toppings on it. The signature topping would have to be sour kraut. I couldn't remember the last time I had some sour kraut on a hot dog. I made a mental note not to get stuffed at dinner so I could grab one on the way out.
Main street is definitely a great start and ending to a day in the Magic Kingdom.

Magic Kingdom Tickets

I had this vacation planned down to the minute. I got the fight 3 months in advance, I got the hotel 3 months in advance, and all my tickets before we arrived in Orlando. I had timed every leg of our trip to the best of my knowledge. We went to the Magic Kingdom and rode all of the best rides first. My son and I went to use the fast pass machine and then…… Our tickets were gone! I was supposed to be the responsible for the tickets. They must have flown out of my pocket on Splash Mountain. Luckily we got a copy of our tickets when we went to Billy Boy's. I was not expecting that to happen but we were saved when we took our copy to the City Hall in Main Street USA. That saved our vacation from ruins. I’m glad I can rely on Billy Boy's.

Market House- This is a turn of the century style store that offers several old time goods such as hand rolled pretzel and pickles. You can also find exotic teas and sun dried fruits that are hard to find any where else. There is also a brass band that plays out front of the store.

Uptown Jewelers- At this snazzy one-of-a-kind place you can find select hand crafted pieces of jewelry ranging from $3000 to $5 and each piece is a special one. Pay attention to the extreme detail to the building, this is something to marvel at.

Whatever you’re into be sure not to overlook Main Street USA at the front of Magic Kingdom. Most people zip right pass Main Street USA and don’t even get a chance to witness this wondrous place. With so much to do and see within the Magic Kingdom, one might wonder how where to find the time to visit Main Street USA.

And when you do build you itinerary, be sure to include a visit to Main Street USA.
