Extra Info:
Looking down Main Street, USA to Cinderella's Castle at Disney's Magic Kingdom theme park.

The Magic Kingdom is the oldest (1971) of four theme parks and two water parks at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. The park saw an estimated 17 million visitors in 2008, making it the most visited theme park in the world, and occupies roughly 47 square miles (120 kmē), approximately the size of San Francisco.

Main Street, USA runs from the park entrance to the castle and is designed to resemble the center of a turn-of-the-century (c. 1908) American town (minus the castle of course :-).

Thanks for the comments everyone. Glad I could evoke some happy memories. We went to Disney the day before the challenge began, so I was actually unaware of the theme and didn't shoot this specifically for it, but it seemed to fit. Our almost 3 yr old grandson was with us and it was really fun watching his reactions to all this. I felt a bit old though as his favourite character isn't Mickey, Minnie, Donald, or Pluto, but Handy Manny, who I'd never heard of :-)

Oh what memories. We went to WDW last summer for a week, got to walk this avenue and a few others. Thanks for sparking the memories. GL.
