Main Street Vehicles

[parith1114]

Can anyone give me some insight on riding the Main Street Vehicles at Magic Kingdom? My son has always wanted to ride on one, but I'm unsure if it's even an option. Thanks in advance for any help.

They are typically only out first thing in the morning. Once the crowds ensue on MK they go away.

Is there a place to line up to ride? Do I approach a cm?

You just go up to a stopped vehicle. You can get on in Town Square or in front of the castle.

Thank you!

Does anyone know if they run the vehicles during the opening show, or is it later before they start running?

In my experience - for a 9am opening (where Main Street opens an hour before), they are typically running during this hour. It’s a good time to ride them, in my humble opinion.

Last week we rode this double decker during morning EMH one way from the Town Square to the castle! Earlier in the week we rode the horse drawn carriage. Both times we just asked the CM and there was no wait - it's really fun! We especially enjoyed being on the upper deck of this vehicle, as there's a cool view of the second stories of the Main Street buildings. Plus, people wave at you like you're in a parade!

Main Street Vehicles usually run from opening only until 10:15 a.m. They offer one way rides from Town Square to the Castle, and vice versa, and it varies which vehicles are out. There's the horse-drawn trolley (also used for the Trolley Show), a double-decker omnibus, an old-fashioned fire engine and an old-fashioned car.

There's usually never any wait, and they are a lot of fun to ride. As pp mentioned, it's like being in your own parade.

Two things to keep in mind - the omnibus is the only vehicle that you can take a stroller on (fold it up, and the cast member will load it for you), and if you are in a vehicle when the Trolley Show is happening, you will have to wait in the vehicle until it passes.

- A mom whose preschooler refuses to go on a single ride until he has gone on every Main Street Vehicle that is out that day

This too is on my Disney bucket list

Thank you all for all your knowledge!!!

On our last trip, they were coming out as we were walking down Main Street and there was no wait. Nobody in my family wanted to ride except me though, so I relented. Next time, I am going to insist! I really want to ride one of these!

I was hoping to get this in last time and did not.

So what time do these start running on an 8 am EMH day? Would we be able to do this first thing then head to Space Mountain before the line at Space is too bad? Traveling in May 2019.

If you ride the fire truck, have the little ones ask for a badge. They have stickers that say fire chief. A little "pre-planned pixie dust"
