Main Street U.S.A.

Main Street USA is most likely the first place you will step foot in(unless you took the monorail in). Here is where most of the guest service places are located. If you need anything from a locker to finding a lost child you will do it on Main Street.

Main Street USA is also host to an assortment of entertainment throughout the day from the Dapper Dans to the Disneyland Band to a Parade or Fireworks show. Be sure to check the entertainment schedule to see what is happening during your visit.
Geek's Suggestions

 

One of the parks unique, but usually overlooked attractions is located right inside the gates on the East (right) side of the street, next to the bank. It is the Great Moment with Mr. Lincoln. In this theater you are presented a brief history lesson and then an audioanimatronic figure of President Lincoln addresses you. This show was created by Walt Disney for the 1964 World's fair in New York and then moved to Disneyland after the fair closed.

The nightly Flag Retreat Ceremony in Town Square is a long time tradition of the park and a nice tribute to the armed forces.
