The first major closure in Main Street USA happened in 1983 when the Swan Boats closed <ref name= "swan"/>. The boats (which had originally numbered eleven) had been cut down to five before being closed, with the explanation given that they were too expensive to keep running <ref name= "swan"/>. In 1992 Main Street lost another attraction when the Walt Disney Story closed due to the fact that the film was becoming too deteriorated to keep showing<ref name= "story"/>. At this time, a gift shop and information center known as the Exposition Hall replaced the Hospitality House and thus The Walt Disney Story<ref name= "story"/>.
In 1995 the Penny Arcade, which had been an opening day attraction also closed its doors <ref> http://waltdatedworld.bravepages.com/id90.htm </ref>. It was replaced (along with the Main Street Bookstore and the House of Magic) by the new Main Street Athletic Club (a shop) <ref> https://d23.com/a-to-z/main-street-athletic-club/ </ref>. Another opening day attraction would soon follow in the Penny Arcade's footsteps, when in 1998 the Main Street Cinema was redone. Instead of being a classic movie theater like it had always been, the Cinema was rethemed to become an Art of Disney gift shop <ref> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/msusa.htm </ref>. During the refurbishment, the facade on the outside of the cinema was changed to read “Now Showing: The Art of Disney”. Perhaps in homage to the old cinema, guests can still see old Disney shorts being played on a screen in the back of the current shop. In 2001 the next major change happened when the Harmony Barbershop was moved from West Center Street to Town Square <ref name= "widen"> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/msusa.htm </ref>. The move was made so that the [[Emporium ]] could expand into what had previously been the barbershop <ref name= "widen"/>.
In February of 2014 Disney announced that the "hub" section of Main Street USA would be redeveloped <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/main-street-usa/news/25feb2014-photos---magic-kingdom's-hub-set-for-big-changes-to-help-traffic-flow-and-provide-more-fireworks-viewing-locations.htm </ref>. As part of this redevelopment the Rose Garden and the former landing of the Swan Boats were removed. In their place, new lush courtyards were added, as well as mew walkways which were designed to ease crowed congestion <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/main-street-usa/news/26feb2015-photos-and-video---take-a-walkthrough-of-the-new-main-street-plaza-west-at-the-magic-kingdom.htm </ref>. Furthermore, the seating areas outside of [[Casey's Corner]] and [[The Plaza Restaurant]] were expanded. In February of 2015 the Main Street Plaza Gardens West and the Main Street Plaza Gardens East opened to guests <Ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/main-street-usa/news/02mar2015-photos---main-street-plaza-gardens-east-opens-to-guests.htm </ref> <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/main-street-usa/news/26feb2015-photos-and-video---take-a-walkthrough-of-the-new-main-street-plaza-west-at-the-magic-kingdom.htm </ref>. Besides featuring new foliage and water features, these gardens also house special FastPass + Wishes viewing areas <Ref> http://www.mousesteps.com/denises-corner-mainmenu-121/1571-review-of-fastpass-wishes-viewing-area-in-expanded-hub-at-the-magic-kingdom </ref>.
On July 15, 2017, Disney announced that a new theater based on the Willis Wood theater in 1920s Kansas City <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/main-street-usa/news/16jul2017-new-theater-inspired-by-kansas-citys-willis-wood-theater-to-be-built-at-the-magic-kingdom </ref>. This new theater was expected to house live entertainment and be built in the backstage area between Main Street USA and Tomorrowland. In February 2018, it was reported that the Main Street Theater was cancelled <ref> https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/main-street-usa/news/01feb2018-main-street-theater-project-cancelled.htm </ref>.
On January 18, 2019, the Town Square Theater became home to Mickey and Minnie's Celebration Center, the hub for Mickey and Minnie's 90th birthday celebration <Ref>https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/magic-kingdom/news/18jan2019-photos---mickey-and-minnies-celebration-central-at-the-magic-kingdom.htm </ref>

Main Street USA is also home to two of the most famous statues in Walt Disney World, the “Partners” statue and the “Sharing the Magic” statue. The “Partners” Statue was added in 1995 and shows Walt Disney pointing forward while holding Mickey Mouse's hand <ref> https://www.mouseplanet.com/9766/The_History_of_the_Partners_Statue_Part_One </ref>. The plaque on the statue says, “We believe in our idea: a family park where parents and children could have fun – together.” The statue is placed at the central hub of the park, in front of Cinderella Castle.
The “Sharing the Magic” statue is located in Town Square and was built in 1999 in honor of Walt's brother Roy O. Disney <ref> https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2011/03/sharing-the-magic-at-walt-disney-world/ </ref>. The statue shows Roy and Minnie Mouse sitting together on an ornate bench. The plaque below the bench is engraved with the dedication speech Roy gave at the grand opening of Walt Disney World.
