[quote="DavidLeaphart"It will be a fun book, and I agree the streetcar is bypassed by a lot of folks rushing down Main Street to their loss.[/quote]Most of the reason for this is, because of all of the Trolley shows (no guests permitted on the trolley; I think the trolley show runs like five times in the mornings) and the Castle shows (the street cars do not run while a Castle show is going on), and they stop running pretty early in the day (before noon, because of the Move It! Shake It! Celebrate It! thing).

So there's really a *very limited* window of opportunity for guests to actually ride the street cars.

I drove the Main Street vehicles while I worked there, and was *very disappointed* when we started that "Family Fun Day" parade thing three times a day in the mornings, along with the Trolley shows. I miss my Fire Truck, my Omnibus, and my five other antique cars...

Does WDW have a shorter operating time for the Main Street Vehicles than Disneyland does? I've seen them run at DL up until 3 or 4 in the afternoon.

The Main Street vehicles - Fire Truck, Omnibus, and the other "antique" vehicles - don't even come out for guests any more at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

When I was working on Main Street, before all that entertainment stuff started on the street (Trolley shows, MiSiCi, fifteen Castle shows, etc.), we ran vehicles from park opening until about 1:30pm, had our parade meetings, ran the 3:00 parade, then brought the vehicles back out until it was time for Flag Retreat. We weren't permitted to run our vehicles "after dark".

Well, exxxxxcuse me. I missed a "]" in my original quoted post, and it screwed the whole thing up. It won't happen again, I promise.

It's not you, Jim. It's everyone else quoting entire qoutes as qoutes and then they ask a question or don't post anything at all. they just wanted to reiterate the post. And yes I am deliberately qouting the entire post above.

My brother was killed by a moose. No reali. He was carving his intials into the side of a moose with and interspace toothbrush given to him by Sven, a famous Oslo dentist and also the sater of many adult films........
