Lauren Looks Back: Main Street Cinema's Staple Eerie Mannequin, Tilly
Disneyland's Main Street USA is supposed to invoke a feeling of nostalgia and timelessness. It's open, friendly, and everyday seems to be a good day there. Main Street USA is supposed to resemble Marceline, Missouri, where Disney himself spent many of his childhood years. Located on Main Street USA, is Main Street Cinema. Sitting out front in the box office is Tilly — a native of Marceline.
Tilly's costume has changed over the years, but it's always remained correct for the time period in which she represents (early 1900s). Tilly is, admittedly, a little eerie. Her cold, vacant stare and really lifelike hands would be suitable for a horror movie, but instead she's in Disneyland (which in itself could be a horror movie, if you're into that).
There isn't much out there on Tilly's history. Yesterland states that prior to 2009, she did not wear a name tag, and that's about it. The theater behind her does in fact show old Mickey Mouse cartoons, something Walt Disney World is lacking on their Main Street.
