It's amazing how much has changed from then til now...

Oh man I forgot there were no gates around the plaza originally. Must have been a nightmare for landscapers.

Great nostalgic view of Main Street!

[@MrDisneyfanman]

A really nice look back at old Main Street U.S.A., Great job! =)

The Main Street here look's like the same Main Street in the Disneyland Paris

I cannot call everyone a " Thug ", but I get your drift. And it WAS a better time in that era. People just had more self respect, and respect for others. GONE....

indeed

Imagine the time span. This is from the mid-'50s reflecting a time 40-50 years prior. That's the time between now and this video. Note the way people dressed. You cleaned up before going out in public. Also -- not just here -- but other mid-'50s footage of the park, the lack of overweight people, wheelchairs, and strollers.

This is what the word look like without the ghetto influence. Clean cut and dressed nice. Now everyone's a thug.. what a sad world we live in now.

It started with Walt's hobby of model trains and cities and turned into a real city.

I miss my olden years, when people loved America, including our own citizens!

[@sdjahof1964]

Danny Canes People still do love America. A lot of them are fighting for it now

I resent that! I am a tom boy and my mother could not get me in a dress to save her life. And I dress respectable and have a great job and I am not a thug. nor was "influenced" by anyone. I am just being me. =/
