Main Street USA is lined with shops selling merchandise and food. The decor is early 20th century small-town America, inspired by Walt Disney's childhood. The Emporium carries a variety of Disney souvenirs such as plush toys, collectible pins, and Mickey-ear hats. Tony’s Town Square and the Plaza Restaurant are sit-down restaurants. Casey's Corner is at the end of Main Street and sells traditional American ball park fare including hot dogs and fries. In the distance beyond the end of Main Street stands Cinderella's Castle. Though only 180 feet tall, it benefits from a technique known as forced perspective. The (fake) second stories of all the buildings along Main Street are shorter than the first, and the third stories are even shorter than the second, and the top windows of the castle are much smaller than they appear. The resulting visual effect is that the buildings appear to be larger and taller than they really are.
