I was going to bring NOS up next. It also occupies kind a nebulous space for me. I think it's because it has no entrance, nothing to define it as separate from Frontierland, it always just seemed a small section of Frontierland, not a land of its own. In recent years (like, the last 10 years), I've shaken that preception...for the most part.
These are all perceptions held over from youth. I don't even remember my first visit to Disneyland I was so young. Too young to understand the broader concepts and ideas behind it. So my impressions were purely from my own observation (altough undoubtedly colored by my parents if for no other reason than the manner in which they conducted our visits). Coming with a clean slate like that, that's the impression that I got, that Main Street was the welcome center, and the areas with the name "land" were lands. Hard to shake impressions that are formed so early on.

Some may say Main St. USA isn't good enough for land status....I say quite the opposite.....the lands are the Subjects of the Street

Like I said, it's not about "good enough" for me. I never considered Main Street inferior, just a separate entity.
