New1971#

Opened as The Station Break, a walk-up snack bar serving snacks and soft drinks directly below the Main Street, U.S.A. train station.

Exact debut undocumented. Dated to the park's October 1, 1971 opening because the Main Street train station is original to the park and the stand is cataloged as an early Main Street food location; no source states the opening year. WaltDatedWorld page fetched and confirmed to name 'The Station Break' below the train station.
