==History==
Main Street USA is themed to be a turn of the century, small American town, taking . The land took much of its inspiration from Walt's boyhood hometown of Marceline, Missouri. The land Main Street opened along with the rest of the Magic Kingdom in 1971, with the opening day attractions beingof: the[[Walt Disney World Railroad]], the [[Main Street Vehicles]] (the Jitney, Fire Engine, Horseless Carriage, Horse Cars and Omnibus), the Penny Arcade, the Main Street Cinema, and the Harmony Barber Shop. The Walt Disney Railroad took guests around the park in a real steam engine stopping in [[Frontierland]]. The Main Street Vehicles allow guests to travel in the ways of the past, taking a trip from the front end of Main Street, to Cinderella Castle and back. The Penny Arcade meanwhile, featured old style games and Moving Picture Machines, which would allow guests to view old movie serials for just 25 cents. The Main Street Cinema allowed guests to see full silent movies as well as old Disney shorts.
In 1973 Main Street USA got two major additions, the Swan Boats and the Walt Disney Story. The Swan Boats were located at the hub of the Magic Kingdom and allowed guests to peddle around both the hub and the [[Swiss Family Treehouse]]. The Walt Disney Story on the other hand was a biographical movie about Walt himself which was located in Located in the Gulf Hospitality House.
In 1995 the Penny Arcade, which had been an opening day attraction also closed its doors. It was replaced (along with the Main Street Bookstore and the House of Magic) by the new Main Street Athletic Club (a shop). 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. 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. The move was made so that the Emporium could expand into what had previously been the barbershop.
