Disney Park Music

It's a bit of a story, but...

I was in the marching band for three years in high school (tuba!), and our director always picked pretty awesome music for our yearly halftime show. My first year was music from Les Miserable, third year was pulled from The Lion King on Broadway. The second year, no one knew what the heck we were playing. It sounded cool, but we weren't aware that there was a theme. And we had NO IDEA why we had to spend time making this Earth prop that would be dragged out at some point.

Then in March, after the football and competition season ended, we visited WDW for Magic Music Days. And then the night we were at Epcot, it all made sense. Illuminations was our show. And our director had managed to keep it secret nearly an entire year so that the surprise would come that night while watching the fireworks as a group. It was actually very meaningful.

So yeah, I have Illuminations on my mp3 player.

I listen to such music regularly! A friend of mine made me a CD of a bunch of the park songs. I have it in a CD player in our Disney room, and turn it on whenever I go in there. Joe also thinks I am mad (though he uses a much more colorful word than mad, which I cannot repeat here )

He has banned that CD from being in the car ever again since our last trip to Disney

Friend got me 4 Parks 1 World and said she heard from cast memebers it was only available at Hollywood Studios (where she did end up buying it). I've seen several great compilation CDs at Downtown Disney, including one from attractions that are no longer with us. Should have picked it up, because then I could have listened to Veggie Veggie Fruit Fruit whenever I wanted (two Kitchen Kabaret references in one week, how cool is that).

I'm obsessed with park music- I play it in my car and people think I am nuts! I run to it at the gym! My current mix has a few fun items on it
