Main Street Cinema

Description

This is a showcase of a number of the very early films that Walt Disney made in the very beginning, including Steamboat Willie. The room in which these are being shown is a circular room, with the different films being shown on the exterior walls. There is a raised dias in the center for children to climb on so that they can see better.

Entrance

The entrance is located off of the main thoroughfaire of Main Street U.S.A. It has the appearance of an old movie theatre entrance, with the ticket booth in the center and two entrances, one on each side. There is a turnstile, so you must enter to the right side of the ticket booth. Exit is out the other side.

Line

This a very low volume show, so there is typically never a line to get in.

The Shows

There are six shows running at any given time, all in black and white. Interestingingly enough, I noticed that one of the films that was in black and white was filmed in technicolor.

Exit

You exit out the other side of the ticket booth in front.

Opinion

I am really glad to see that this show is still around in at least one Disney park. It used to exist in the Magic Kingdom as well, but was taken out a number of years ago. There are still some of the old films shown at the Magic Kingdom, but you have to search for them as they are very well hidden.
