Main Street U.S.A./Buena Vista Street

The entire purpose of theme parks is to make you feel like you’ve bene transported to another place. Every detail exists to reinforce the idea that you’re someplace other than reality. At Disneyland Resort’s two theme parks, that starts with taking you back to the past. At Disneyland, it’s Main Street U.S.A. and it’s an, admittedly, fictional version of classic Americana. At Disney California Adventure, it’s Buena Vista Street, Los Angeles, in the 1920s and ’30s, the era when Walt Disney first arrived and made his name. And at Christmas, they both look incredible.
