A Nostalgic Look Back: February 2017
Think back to your last visit. In 2017, Main Street was still basking in the glow of the 2016 holiday season. The Citizens of Main Street were entertaining guests, the Dapper Dans were harmonizing, and the classic charm was as strong as ever. But time marches on, even in the Magic Kingdom.
What's New on Main Street, U.S.A.?
Since 2017, Disney has been continuously enhancing the Main Street experience. Here are some of the key changes you'll notice:
Enhanced Entertainment
While the Dapper Dans and Citizens of Main Street remain, keep an eye out for updated character interactions and performances. Disney is always evolving its entertainment offerings to keep things fresh.
Look for the newer cavalcades that are more frequent than the full parades of the past. These offer a more spontaneous feel, and allow for more character appearances throughout the day.
Window Updates
The iconic windows of Main Street are a tribute to the Imagineers and key figures who shaped Disney. While it's tough to pinpoint every single window change without a comprehensive list, Disney does update them periodically.
Keep a close eye out for new names, especially those honoring recent Imagineering contributions. It's a fun game to try and spot the new additions.

Main Street is a living, breathing part of the park. Regular refurbishments keep it looking its best. Expect to see fresh paint, updated facades, and meticulous attention to detail.
The train station has seen a large amount of updates, and looks better than ever.
Food and Merchandise

The Main Street Confectionery has been re-imagined. It is now a much more open and interactive experience.
The Emporium is always changing its merchandise, so expect to see new items that reflect the latest Disney trends.
