Welcome to Main Street USA, a composite of a typical American town during the turn of the century. Fashioned loosely after Walt Disney's hometown of Marceline, Missouri, Main Street USA features themed dining, entertainment and shopping experiences.
 
Featured attractions here include The Disney Gallery in the Main Street Opera house, and The Disneyland Railroad. Several dining locations, including Plaza Inn, Carnation Cafe and Plaza Gardens offer a variety of sandwiches, hotdogs and cheeseburgers and entertainment while you dine, and themed shops such as the Disneyana Shop offer specialty and collectible items.

Traveling up Main Street USA, you arrive at the Hub, or Central Plaza of Disneyland, which leads to the other various lands of Disneyland. Here, the famous "Partners" statue reaffirms that it really was all started by a Mouse (named Mickey). The statue was designed by Disney Imagineer John Hench and sculpted by Imagineer Blaine Gibson, who started his career as an animator at the Disney Studios, and then moved on to become a sculptor for many of the audio animatronics figures in the park. 

Here at the Hub, is also a large callboard with the approximate wait times, closures and other information about most of the attractions in the park. It is updated several times throughout the day. 

Directly ahead lies Fantasyland, with the Sleeping Beauty Castle as it's entrance. The drawbridge you cross to enter the castle has only opened twice, once on Opening day of July 17, 1955, and another in 1983 for the opening and rededication of New Fantasyland and has remained open ever since. This is an enjoyable location to enjoy the nighttime spectacular Magical Fireworks Spectacular or Celebrate! A Street Party  in the afternoon and early evening.
