While the Disney theme parks are all home to incredible rides and attractions, as well as their famous family-friendly atmosphere, there may not be a more magical place to visit than Main Street, U.S.A.
Main Street, U.S.A., is arguably one of the most recognizable and important parts of the Disney theme park experience, with versions of this turn-of-the-century town present at nearly every Disney resort on Earth. As soon as guests enter Disneyland Park or Magic Kingdom, they are instantly transported into a wonderfully realized town full of classic Americana details, shops, stores, cafes, and attractions.
Depending on which Disney theme park guests are visiting, they will find a stunning castle at the end of Main Street, ranging from the massive Cinderella Castle in Florida to the original, miniature-sized Sleeping Beauty Castle in California.
This experience is present at Disneyland Paris, which features an incredibly unique rendition of this iconic Disney theme park area.
“As you enter Disneyland Park, immerse yourself in this charming American town inspired by the childhood home of Walt Disney, full of shops, restaurants and other hidden secrets,” states Disney on the official Disneyland Paris Resort website. “As you approach the end of the street, take in the magical view of the fairytale turrets of Sleeping Beauty Castle stretching up towards the sky.”

At the end of Paris’ Main Street, guests will find Sleeping Beauty Castle, which is perhaps Disney’s best castle to date. However, several pieces of decor have been retired.
As reported by the DLP Report, the fairy pole decoration package on Main Street has ended.

These pieces of decor have been used for quite a while, meaning certain guests may have grown used to seeing them as they enter Disney World. There is currently no word on when Main Street, U.S.A., will return to normal at Disneyland Paris, with the entire resort undergoing changes.

In recent months, guests have seen several iconic locations, like the LEGO Store and Planet Hollywood, shut down as this large-scale renovation project continues at Disneyland Paris
Earlier this year, Walt Disney Studios’ Studio 1 location closed permanently as part of the park’s total transformation. Disneyland Paris is comprised of two theme parks, the original Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park. The former has been in operation since 1992, with Walt Disney Studios Park officially opening in 2002.
This theme park has been highly critiqued since it opened, with some fans calling it the “worst” Disney theme park on Earth. While Walt Disney Studios has plenty of rides and attractions to offer guests, guests take issue with the park’s theme itself.
Walt Disney Studios took inspiration from Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme park at Walt Disney World, with the park originally focusing on giving guests “behind the scenes” looks at filmmaking. Over time, this theme became more and more antiquated, and with the release of newer attractions and lands like Avengers Campus, it became clear that Walt Disney Studios needed a fresh start.
As part of the renovations, Disneyland Paris announced that this theme park would be getting a new name to better match this new era. Soon, Walt Disney Studios will be known as Disney Adventure World, theoretically giving Disney more creative freedom to create and design rides without being limited to this Hollywood backlot theme.
