Main Street Cinema | Disney World Description

Similar to its counterpart in Disneyland, Disney World’s Main Street Cinema was once a working movie theater attraction. It operated as a theater from the Magic Kingdom’s open in 1971 until 1998, when it became a gift shop.

Currently, an Art of Disney store occupies this space and still contains a movie screen in the rear of the store that often shows old Disney movie clips.

I have since returned to the magical place more than 20 times. I started this site when I came to the realization that I spent a significant portion of my day reading articles about Disney and watching Disney content with my 8-year old, so it made sense that I would start sharing some of what I read and see and building a little community around it.
