Magical Cuts on Main Street, U.S.A.®

Tucked in the corner of Main Street, U.S.A.® inside the Magic Kingdom® Park is a hidden gem guaranteed to take you back to a simpler time. The Harmony Barber Shop, located near the Emporium gift shop, is the Magic Kingdom® Park’s fully-functioning barber shop that has been in continuous operation since 1975. Complete with hair tonics and talcum powders, barbers at the Harmony Barber Shop serve approximately 400 guests per week.

“First Haircuts” have turned into the shop’s specialty. All guests receiving their “first haircut” while  inside this quaint shop get an extra special “My 1st Haircut” set of Mickey Ears and a certificate! With a wide range of services, the young aren’t the only guests visiting the Harmony Barber Shop – many are “young at heart!”

At Harmony Barber Shop, even the small details weren’t overlooked.  A turn-of-the-century Western Electric phone box is still used to make phone calls. Also, cast members use a cash register from 1912 to ring up their sales!

Advance reservations for Harmony Barber Shop can be made for those staying at a Disney resort or guests who have a dining reservation. Guests without reservations are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. Daily reservations are limited, so be sure to contact your Magic Maker® so your reservation can be made well in advance.

Disney Gallery Reopens in a New Location

The Disney Gallery has reopened at Disneyland® Park in its new location on Main Street, U.S.A.® (previously occupied by the Bank of Main Street).

While the location may be new, the remodeled Disney Gallery continues the outstanding tradition of showcasing original and one-of-a-kind Disney artwork and collectibles to Theme Park Guests. The new design maintains some of the unique elements of the former bank, including the popular bank vault, which is now used to display select pieces of historical Disney artwork.

In addition to the vault, the Disney Gallery is now made up of three separate rooms: two large display rooms and a merchandise room. The display rooms feature historic Walt Disney Imagineering conceptual art created during the development and enhancement stages of attractions and Disney-inspired art created by current and former Disney artists and Imagineers. Guests visiting the merchandise portion of the Disney Gallery will have the opportunity to purchase Disney prints (including on-the-spot prints from Print on Demand), sculptures, books and many other collectibles from popular Disney attractions and animated features.

The first exhibit on display at the new Disney Gallery location is “Enchanting the Classics.” This exhibit focuses on how artists at Walt Disney Imagineering have kept beloved Disneyland Resort® attractions such as the Submarine Voyage, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion and “it’s a small world” fresh and exciting over the years with enhancements and surprises.
