Disney's Main Street USA Secrets Revealed 

Just found your channel today, I sub to three others, yours is the best for interesting trivia and must sees.

your distraction and excitement when goofy walked past is so pure 😭😭😭

The Flags on top of the buildings on Main Street actually are technically "Official" since they have the 45 stars and the time period Main Street is set at the turn of the century when there were only 45 stars on the flag.

City hall is also were you can go to get the recipe of a food dish you liked and they print it for you ✨👍🏻

About the always-on light in Walt's office: I'm told that it's always on *except* when a Disney family member is in the park. It's then turned off as a mark of respect.

seeing you geek out when characters come out is so damn cute

This is the first DL video I've seen that ACTUALLY tells me somthing new. So many "secret DL secrets" videos are out there and anyone who spent a few years with a yearly pass and a cursory bit of knowledge about the park's history already knows. Had no idea abut Walt's fire pole and it makes me feel ashamed that through my many visits, I never went to the firehouse or bothered to learn anything about it...good job yall I just figured the firehouse was basically a "Get Your Feel Special Badge" facility or for lost kids...man, I wish I hadn't ignored it for all these years

13:32 "I'm just spending my whole day on Main Street" The sound of disbelief from driver LMAO

I didn't know you could write to cast members, I've had a lot of great experiences with cast members. Next time I go I'm gonna write to a lot of cast members.

Provost Park Pass is my favorite Disney RU-vid program. Mr. Provost has a fine broadcasting voice, which helps a lot. His energy, enthusiasm and excellent communication skills gives him the charisma to make his segments fun. The substance of his content shows he cares enough to do his homework, which makes his spiels as interesting as they are informative. Kudos, my friend.

Fun facts...the Magic Shop isn't actually ran by Disneyland Cast Members. It's a 3rd party company that runs it. That and Crystal Arts shop are both ran by private companies and aren't technically even employees of Disneyland. The half/half light isn't actually a light. It's just a plastic cover that goes over the bulb.

I've seen this guy at Disneyland. Fun fact: He doesn't wear pants.

When my friends and I went years ago, we managed to catch a horse drawn coach just as the Dapper Dans were hitching a ride. They took our requests while we rode! It was so cool.

Great video! The "shocking machine" at the Penny Arcade is one of our must -do attractions. It was removed for several years around the time they opened up the back of each store front into one mega-store. I am a particular fan of the DLRR. Fitting that they honored Ward Kimball as namesake for an engine; in addition to being one of the "9 old men", he was a train buff that was hired to paint the locomotive engines at Golden Spike National Historic Site in Promontory, UT. The locomotive engines used in the reenactment, Jupiter and #119, were hand painted by Kimball, based on historical photos.

Nothing like riding the Disneyland railroad at the end of a long day 😁

This gut deserves more subscribers

Stephanie is my FAVORITE cast member. She is the bomb and knows so much about the park. Bob Igor should give her a major raise.

Still remember when I was a kid, my dad used to take us yo the old Upjohn pharmacy. My dad worked for the Upjohn company, so when we went to Disneyland, he went to the pharmacy, showed His ID, and he got passes for the Golden Horseshoe show, we got VIP seating and a free metal there and free breakfast at carnation . It was great times!!

It is super impressive you can talk and walk so smoothly!! You have mad skills. I am going next month and I am ALWAYS finding tid bits that not everyone talks about. I bought a Disneyland Tobacco Matchbook at Salt Lake Comic Con from a vendor last year! And I am TOTALLY going down center street next month!! Of all the years I've been to DL I've never been all the way down. Also a fact a local here in Utah, named Cat Palmer, Her grandfather has his name on a window because he worked for Disney for so long. Perhaps you need to do a whole video on the people's names on the windows!!!!

The flag retreat is at 4:30 every afternoon, not 5:00

Another couple of cool facts about Main Street: The Main Street train station is built true size. The castle is built to scale using forced perspective. In the morning when you enter the castle looks far away due to the scale, and when you leave at night and are tired, the train station being real size makes the distance seem closer. The Street lights at the beginning of Main Street are gas because it keeps with the old times, as you move towards the hub they switch to electric because you are moving forward in time. Love your channel!

Would love to see a more detailed tour of all the shops and attractions in Main Street USA - we walk past them to get to the rides ASAP and then run out of time to have a look on the way out!

Going back and enjoying some classic Provost Park Pass in Disney Land, can't wait to get back!

Man, Disneyland's got such history. Love it.

Frank Dennison, RIP, war hero from "Band of Brothers" and 101st Airborne Engineers, built the apartment for Walt above the fire station.

Love when you told the older gentleman you were spending all day on Main Street and how it was your favorite, it sounded like he says, “alright” like he was super unimpressed. lol

our Dunmore High School marching band just went to Disney World and played on St. Patricks Day and I also marched as the banner carrier

Thank you for this video !! There’s actually new facts I had no idea about here, rather than the same things I hear from every other video. I’ve always been a HUGE fan of Disneyland and my mom always took me as a kid and I have such beautiful fond memories of this place. I can’t wait to go back and see all of these things myself again !

I absolutely love your videos! I'm going to be in Disneyland soon, and I can't wait to be there and see everything you're talking about! It's so fun to watch videos like this so I can appreciate all the details that went into making the parks!

After watching all these videos I'm gonna go back to Disneyland to check out all these things I missed!

Great video! I have been on Main Street hundreds of times and never noticed some of the things you talked about in this video.

Another amazing video!! I loved it. Main Street is one of my favorite spots. I love all the lands but Main Street, New Orleans Square and Frontierland are my top 3. Best time on Main Street is when park opens and the shops are empty and you can enjoy seeing every detail and decorations throughout the shops :). Thank you again for sharing all the fun facts. Oh and Brad has the So Cal Select or the So Cal pass so he can only go to the parks during the week. We all need to plan a visit :)

I love walking down Main Street so much. It really brings back so many memories to when I was 4, I had my very first visit to Disneyland. Great video Chris and I hope to meet you one day!

Love, Love, LOVE Main Street so much, its truly one of my favourite spots in DIsneyland. This is a great video!!

That was truly informative! It seems like most of these secret information about Disney videos start to share the same things after a while. You put a huge amount of effort into this, thank you!

I am so lucky to own an exact copy of Walt's Lamp in my home. Just like Walt's lamp, we keep ours lit 24/7/365. We keep it surrounded by prints of ride posters from Disneyland. I hope to add a Plaque of his opening day speech and a "Partners" statue to complete our homage to Walt Disney.

Love how you rapid fire facts of each land. Great video.

Wow so much trivia!! I consider myself a Huge disneyland fan but I learned so many new things! You packed it all in!

I’ve been looking for a good channel to help get me hyped for my Disneyland trip coming up and yours Is just what I’m looking for thank you!

Best notification to get in the morning!! Great video as always 👏🏼👏🏼

Main Street USA is really amazing once I enter the park, there's shops, food, historic, entertainment, and best of all, the perfect place to watch the parade or fireworks.

Thanks for these! What a great way to get ready for our trip to DL! You are awesome.

Wow! I never knew there was so much you could do, and see, and hear on Main St. Will definitely take it in when we go in October.

Thanks for giving some love to Mr. Lincoln! My family and I always catch the show.

This was such a great video!! You’re so articulate and informative. I would love for you to do all of the lands in Disneyland!

I love all your post! Disneyland trivia is my favorite pass time. Thank you for sharing your Disneyland knowledge 🎆🏰🎆

I loved this video! Thank you for all your hard work! I learned so much. I have been to DL one time, and after watching your videos i realized how much I missed!

Great video yet again! Main Street is fantastic! Have you found the old organ that plays by itself in the back of the arcade? I stumbled on it last trip and it was amazing! Can’t wait for your next video, Chris!

SEEMS I HAVE AN ISSUE!!! I can't go a day without watching Provost Park Park!! I digging into videos 3 years old!

I absolutely LOVE Provost Park Pass videos! Keep 'em coming! :-)

Ragtime Piano at Refreshment Corner. Haven't yet experienced it in person, but YT videos make it seem like a relaxing place to cool off and listen to some great music. Hopefully it won't be too busy!

I never wake up early enough to enjoy main Street. This video has given me a reason to wake up early! Thank you for making this! Looks like I'll be arriving at the park before 3pm this month!

Awe! The famous Ken!!!

The famous Ken 😍

You content is AMAZING! I have spent all night watching so many videos. Kept trying to sleep but always wanted to watch one more. I like a super tired Disney expert now. 😂

I am a Walt Disney world gal and have never been to Disneyland. Your videos are so informative for my first trip to DL in 2019. Thank you!

Great video! I just found this channel and I'm glad that I did. I see the famous Ken was your driver on Main Street! Last time I was there, was before you filmed this video and the Main Street vehicles weren't running. I got to see Ken on the train. He is soooo cool.

I love this channel! Main Street U.S.A is one of my favorite lands😀

What a SUPERB video. Truly one of the very best ever videos on Disneyland, well done sir!!

Funny watching the young guys behind you @ 5:30 😀. It makes me happy to see young guys not being afraid to have fun at Disneyland.😎

Thank you for mentioning that they will hold onto your packages. It has always been a hassle carrying them around all day. You just saved me a ton of trouble.

We always rush in to the rides, early in the morning. We save Main Street for the hot afternoons. I have always loved Main Street. So much cool stuff to see. 😀🍹🇵🇭

Excellent and informative look at Main St ... learned some new stuff. Terrific video!

Thank you for your video!!! My kids and I are watching them. It's making us want to build a time machine to fast forward time to when we go to Disneyland! :D. Thanks again for your vid.

I have been really enjoying your videos! Keep it up!

Thanks for this I’ve been to Disney many times and I’ve always just walked through Main Street never even knew Abe Lincoln show was in the park. I’ll be sure to spend more time in Main Street on my next visit

Love all your vids man keep up the good work

Great video. Every video I watch makes me excited for the day I'll be able to travel to DL and DCA. I'm hoping that day will be sooner rather than later. Are you and the family going to check out Pixar Fest right when it first starts this weekend? If so, I hope you guys have fun.

What a fantastic video! Even though my home park Magic Kingdom and I've never been to DL/DCA -- I am subscribing because the info in your videos is so interesting and fun.

I LOVE your videos, you do a great job with them and if I ever see you at Disneyland I'd be psyched! Still love that Pluto freak out you had in Toontown in your other video haha. Thanks for the great videos you're awesome!

Great videos there my friend I have to say it brings back a lot of memories of going to Disneyland as a kid I’m in New England so I go to Disney world now with my daughter but with be making a trip out to Cali to go back to Disneyland with her now after watching your videos. Cheers.

just found this video have now subscribed. currently organising a trip to disneyland from Australia at christmas this year My daughters first time to disneyland . Very interesting video. Now binge watching your videos!

There’s a great little nook about half way down main street where there’s a bench you can sit and enjoy the passing crowd; looks like a store front, but anyone can sit and relax. Me and my GF frequently sit and enjoy some Gibson girl ice cream here during the later hours.

Just found your channel. Subbed and belled. Love your enthusiastic style and the little, obscure details and minutiae you present.

I really enjoy your videos, I have been to Disney but it has been many many years. Next month I am taking my 8 kids for the first time and this info is great. Thank you.

Im so glad i found this channel!

This is great! Just found your channel and am glad I did!

this is so neat im going to try and remember to check out all these details

Thanks for making Disney extra special.

I learned so much watching this vid. thank you!!

Yessssss!! These videos are so Epic!

Your videos are fascinating. It gives larger individuals who can’t ride any/all the rides other options of enjoying Disney. Hence, why I’ve never been to Disney World. Afraid I wouldn’t fit on a ride.

this is the cutest most wholesome channel ever :,)

@1:12 hey chris, this is actually incorrect , the us code which you can look up later, says that any flag that is similar to the us flag has to follow those guidelines so even those flags with the one missing star would need to lowered or dropped. The thing is that these guidelines are not enforced. The reason they have one less star is because mainstreet is set at the time walt was a little kid and that's how many states there were.

Great video! Going there in 3 weeks and this will make our trip more enjoyable!

I haven’t been in way too long! 😢 I remember the days when we would go on Dec. 25th and could walk on to every ride. Forget it now! Those days have been gone for more than 20 years now. And I loved your geek out when you saw Goofy! That was awesome!

Your channel is the best!

loved the vid i learned so much about main street

Love this video! Visited Disneyland with my parents as a kid.

Amazing work, Thanks for sharing. ;)

Years ago (in the 70s and 80s) we had a friend who worked for Disney (he worked on stuff for Epcot). He told us that the buildings on Main Street are taller at the beginning of the street than they are at the end of the street to give the illusion that the street is longer than it is.

who else is a legend and came back here from 2021! Also Chris I love your vids!!!!!!!!!!

Catching up on reruns.👍😀❤️

The coal town in NE PA where I grew up had a Centre Street and a Main Street as the transecting street. On both the North and South sides of Centre Street the shops and banks were located. Main Street North led to the train station. Main Street South had a grocery and a tobacconist's and, a few blocks further south, were the large houses of the "elite" of the town, sometimes called the "upper 500". With the decline of the coal mines in the 1950s/60s, the town began to die. The streets are still there, but almost all the shops are closed. The restaurant was torn down in favor of a high-rise for geriatrics, and "the upper 500" have closed or sold out their businesses and moved away. It is a nice place to be FROM.

YES! Do give a compliment. It really helps.

I am not sure if you know about it, or mentioned it in another one of your videos, but there's something interesting about the Disneyland Railroad. The last car (the caboose) is called the Lilly Belle Presidential Parlor Car. It was originally conceived by Walt Disney for entertaining VIP guests by offering them a tour of the park in a much more intimate setting. The Lilly Belle is decorated with mahogany and features stained glass panels, antique furnishings, polished brass lamps and custom made wool carpeting. In order to ride inside you have to be a VIP guest appointed by the Walt Disney Company or a member of Club 33 (or a guest accompanied by a Club 33 member).

I love your vid u have told me so much I didn’t know

I thought I knew all about Main Street! I was wrong. Thanks man! My favorite place in the park. Be there in five days.

I learned something new- the new Abe animatronic head cost...sooo much! ;) Main Street is my favorite land, thank you!!

I used to work as a server at the Carnation Ice Cream Parlor back in '86 that is now the Market Place. My heart broke when it was changed. Fond memories though.
