Main Street Vehicles
Hop aboard one of these vintage vehicles on an one-way trip from Town Square to the Central Plaza or from the Central Plaza to the Town Square. You can take a ride in one of four public transportations: an old-fashioned Horse-Drawn Street Car pulled by a horse. Hop on a Jitney – an early open top automobile. Feel what it is like to ride a vintage fire truck in a replica of the very first fire trucks, or look down the street from the top of the Omnibus, a gas-powered, 2 story bus modeled after a 1920 New York City double-decker. These vehicles are most often running in the mornings, so if you see them going down the street be sure to check them out!
There is no height or weight restrictions, and these vehicles are slow moving, but be aware that riders must transfer from wheelchair or ECV.

You will never have to wait long for your next train as there are trains scheduled to arrive at each station every 4 – 10 minutes throughout the day.

Disney, named after Walt Disney; Lily Belle, named after Walt’s wife; Roy O. Disney, named after Walt’s brother, and Roger E. Broggie, named after an original Imagineer who led the railroad project at WDW.
