Main Street, Main Street, meet me tonight on Main Street. Cause we’ve got a date tonight at eight, so meet me down on Main Street. Please don’t be late, don’t make me wait…
So you’re waiting in line before Disneyland opens.
Ooh, Halloweentime!
You’re excited because this is the one that started it all. This is where Walt walked. You want to see the castle. You want to go to Starbucks, just like kids in the 50’s did. Unfortunately, all this excitement has caused you to have to make a rest stop. If you didn’t hit those outside-the-park restrooms to the left before you got in line, you’re stuck. You’ve got to hold it until you hear the harp flourish or the Apple sound. Now you know you’re in the park.
If you see this, then you’re in!
Now you’re walking right down the middle of Main Street, USA and you’ve got to make your stop. What to do? Well, just take a walk in Walt’s footsteps right to the left (or left to the left, I don’t know).
Gotta go gotta go gotta go!
On the left side of Main Street, just past the entrance, you’ll see it. Just go past City Hall to the right, and before the Fire Department on the left, and you’ve hit paydirt.
Definitely no Jungle Cruise right behind here. You hear nothing.
I know that light on in the window means something…
Now, if you’ve arrived here first thing in the morning, you’ll likely have company. Especially if Main Street is open an hour before the rest of the park. You may be waiting here like Peter Pan’s Flight at midday.
While enjoying your wait, why not focus your ears on the dulcet tones emanating from City Hall, like the famous “What do you mean Big Thunder Mountain is closed down? I demand a full refund!” and, of course, the ever popular, “Which way to the restroom?”
Actually, the City Hall Restroom, though every single park visitor walks by, is generally not too crowded and is as clean and spotless as any Disney restroom. This is in part aided by the restrooms across the way, right next to the bank Disney Gallery.
No, it’s beyond the horse…
During the middle of the day is your best bet to find some elbow room. This is true for shopping on Main Street as well as the restrooms of City Hall.
However, at park opening and closing, this place can be a zoo.
If you see this, hold it.
Oh, and one last thing, if there’s a parade or fireworks going on, forget about it. There will be no elbow room, shoulder room, breathing room, or any other room.
Please proceed to your nearest Tomorrowland.
