This attractive new shop located in the space once occupied by New Century
Timepieces is a homage to the Disney film "The Happiest Millionaire". (The tune
'Fortuosity" is a long-time staple of the background music of Main Street USA).
In this shop you'll find specialty items such as watches, jewelry and gift
items.

clothing styles. While t-shirts and sweatshirts are available here, higher
quality clothing and merchandise is available as well. The store is located
midway down Main Street USA on your right.
The Emporium
Virtually unchanged since the Park's opening in
1955, the Emporium is the largest store in Disneyland Park.. This is a great
place to hit on the way out of the park (be warned, it gets VERY busy at closing
time). If you do have the time, you may wish to visit here early in the day when
it's not too crowded and take a look at the bulk of items they have to choose
from. Sweatshirts, T-shirts, key chains, flashlights, etc, are all available
here in large quantities. If you've forgotten something such as sun block,
batteries, film, etc, they have it all here. Current Disney films are portrayed
in the beautiful window displays as well. Connected to the Emporium, is
Carriage Place Clothing Company, which sells mostly sweatshirts, sweaters
and even some sportswear. Opposite of the Emporium, lies the Candy Palace,
which carries chocolates, jellybeans and truffles!
Disney Showcase
This store carries themed clothing items depending on the season. Princess
dresses and accessories are available here.
This building once housed the Wurlitzer Organ Company, which demonstrated
musical instruments, later it hosted The Walt Disney Story (before it was moved
to it's current location in the Disney Opera House).
20th
Century Music Company
Disney and related albums and DVDs are sold in this charming shop. Disneyland Forever
Kiosks were once available here, but have been replaced with the current
Wonderland Music Store, in which you can get
assorted vintage Disneyland albums and their original cover art, on a digitally
remastered CD. Prices vary.
Main Street Magic Shop
This tiny shop lies on the corner of Main Street, directly across from the
Emporium, to your right as you mozy down the street. Here are numerous puzzles,
magic tricks and gags. A great place for the kids to hang out while you keep
their seats for a parade! While the shop doesn't offer the unique products it
once did, the shop is still a fun place to browse. Be sure to check out the
'First 50 Years' Exhibit to find out what popular actor once worked here!
Main Street USA Photo Supply
Located near the end of Main Street, this store
offers film, batteries and various other photography equipment. You can buy
disposable cameras, and the Cast Members can even help you out with simple
mechanical problems you may encounter with your camera. This is also the
location to purchase Disneyland photos that have been taken throughout the day
at various locations (Mickey's House, Ariel's Grotto, etc). When your photo is
taken, you're given a ticket. Take the ticket to the Main Street Photo Shop
(avoid going just before park closing, because it's packed) view your photo, and
decide if you'd like to purchase it. Prices vary.
If
you've left the park for the day and forgot to check your photos, you may do so
the next morning, or even up to 48 hours after the photo was taken. The best
times to check your photos are during parades, fireworks or the early morning
hours. There is also a kiosk in the Entry Plaza in case you forget to check on
your way out. The Photo Supply building will be closed mid-2006 for extensive
refurbishment and all photo locations will be moved elsewhere.
Penny Arcade
On your left as your pass down Main Street USA, lies Penny Arcade, which
has many antique gadgets and games (Check out the Electric Shock Machine!). You
can get pennies pressed here, as well as advice from "Esmeralda", a soothsayer
in the front of the arcade. There's also a candy counter nearby, as well as a
large selection of stuffed animals and Disney merchandise.

Hats of any size and shape available here!
Mickey Mouse ears available here in great supply! This shop is located next to
the exit of Disneyland..The First 50 Years. There is also a similar
store located in Fantasyland.

suitable for framing. Each cut is $7, and you can add a frame for an additional
fee. The artists here can cut the silhouette from photographs, or detailed
descriptions. (prices are subject to change).
Candy Palace
The ideal store for the sweet tooth in all of us. Jelly beans, chocolate and
tons of candy available here. This store is located right next to the
Emporium, and it also connected to the Penny Arcade. Be sure to check out their vast
assortment of truffles!
