>There is a place in the Magic Kingdom that usually goes unnoticed, which is what makes it a great place to take a break. This out of the way place that is so close to the action that you can actually see Main Street USA, but you really don’t hear the noise, so it is nice to go here and relax. This Unknown Magical Place is down at the end of the side street off Main Street USA. As you are

walking toward the Castle, the street is on the right hand side about two-thirds of the way up. When most people get to this little side street, they look at it, see that there isn’t anything down there (attraction or shop wise) and they continue on. The thing is, if you just look down the street, it doesn’t look like much, but if you walk down to the end of the street, it is a great little place to not only relax for a few minutes, but also for some Unknown Disney World Magic.

The Unknown Magic comes in the form of some details that the Disney Imagineers added to make the area more realistic. As you walk in this area, don’t walk fast, but stroll and keep your ears open and look up and to the left. There is a set of windows on the second floor that say that there is a music and dance studio there. As you stand there and listen, you can actually hear the lessons being given. It is a neat little thing that is wonderfully Disney. Where else, but in a Disney park, would they add sound and visual effects on a side street that doesn’t have any attractions or shops on it? This is one of my favorite details in all of the parks.

As you continue walking down the street, you find yourself in a little courtyard. The courtyard has a few businesses and shops, but they are all just for show and none of the doors open. The upstairs of these shops look as if there are apartments where the shop owners would live. The courtyard itself has tables and chairs and looks like there should be a little café for the shoppers to stop for a latte or a pastry.

Even though there isn’t anything down in this area, or maybe because of it, this is a great place to take a break from your day in the Magic Kingdom. The tables offer a nice spot to sit, while the décor of the area makes it so very relaxing and peaceful. Not only that, but because it is across from the Emporium shops, it is a great place for the kids to sit with a little toy, while you get a well deserved break. With the Main Street Bakery at the opening of the street, it is also a great place to relax with a sweet snack.

This is truly one of my favorite places in all of the Magic Kingdom. It is relaxing and out of the way, but right off Main Street, so you won’t miss anything. It is definitely the perfect place to sit, and it’s on the side street.
