Wow...200 posts...a mini milestone for me...

:party:

Now on to business...

What are your favorite sounds in the parks? This could be anything you like, but basically what moves you, or makes you realize "Yes! we're here!", or brings a smile to your face evertime you think of it.

For me...It was always the voice on the Monorail saying "Our next stop is the Magic Kingdom."

Well, there aren't any sounds at Disney that make me cry... but one of my favorites is the music and background noises on Mainstreet USA. That and the sound of the monorail whizzing past at EPCOT.

Mine is going to "sound" a little weird, but for me it is that first morning when I wake up in a Disney resort. If I am in the MK area, then I love hearing the train whisle blowing in the morning! :train:But, if I am staying in the Contemporary, the hearing the monorail whoosh by inside always brought a smile to my face.
Now if I am at OKW, it was hearing the bus as it goes by to take me to a park!

I know weird...but I always loved it.

That might be why sometimes I like taking my work shuttle...same squeaky brakes! I keep hoping one day they are gonna say, for get work...I'm drivin to Disney!:bus:

It's always the entrance music for me. I almost always start a trip at either MK or Epcot, and the entrance music to both parks brings this sense of excitment and a feeling of "home" over me.

Sigh....still 130 days to go....

Has to be Wishes! I have the CD at home, but when that starts while you are there, it's the best!

Wow.......

I have so many sounds for WDW that make me happy. I love the sound of listening to a childs first reaction to seeing the castle for the first time. Since I don't have any kids of my own, I really enjoy hearing that kind of happiness in a child.

But my absolute favorite sound has got to POTC "A Pirates Life for Me." I could be having the absolute worst day and I will think of POTC and immediately that song will change my mood completely around. I wonder if they could pipe that music into my office?

My favorite sound is when a young child sees their favorite character and is just bubbling over in excitement. I find myself watching them for a few moments and then I am reminded of just how magical my day will be if I take the time to appreciate it.:joy:

It's a toss-up. Either the wolf howl at the Haunted Mansion or the monorail announcement. (Por favor manteganse allejado de las puertas . . .) Those are when I truly know I'm in WDW. :mickey:

I agree with all of the pp - Beginning of SpectroMagic, Wishes... Also, I love the background music in Tomorrowland as you cross the bridge from the hub. So relaxing!

Another vote for the entrance music to the parks. Just yesterday my DD was humming the EPOCT music! It made me wish I were there. :(

the train whistle, the music in frontierland, the music from spectromagic, the preshow speil on ToT, the fife and drum corp, the drummers in Japan, the music in Harambe village. Those are a few off the top of my head. I know there are tons more.

That's my favorite. I could probably recite it in my sleep!!!

I agree with all of the previous examples, and will add one more - the Voices of Liberty! :thumbsup::sing: I'm always amazed by these folks & plan my day at Epcot around thier performances.

My favorite is when I am in Tomorrowland and I hear the People Mover voice overhead. That brings back those happy feelings when I visited the park 25 years ago. Still love those classic sounds!

My favs are the music and ghost host from the Haunted Mansion and the background music from Future World at Epcot.

:joy:Congrats on your 200th post!!:joy:

My favorite sound in all of WDW is the train whistle and bell!

I also love hearing "Please stand clear of the doors" as you get on the monorail.

The Spectromagic song. And the Fantasmic song.. I really feel like I'm at Disney with those. Wishes is an awesome song, too.

And from my rides, definately the ghost host and the graveyard scene music in the Haunted Mansion. Then I /know/ I am in Disney World.

I can't wait for next month.

I love to hear the screams from ToT, starting before you enter the park and culminating when you are on the ride.
Zip-a-dee-dah sticks with me for hours if not days once I hear it.
At EPCOT the drummers in Japan and Off Kilter in Canada draw me like moths to a light

Wow - this post is making me feel all excited and anxious, as if I was leaving tomorrow to go to WDW!

I completely agree with everyone else whose favorite sounds included the monorail, Main Street, ToT elevator screaming.

I really love how the background music and sound effects change when you move from land to land within each park.

I also love the music for Wishes, Spectromagic, Peter Pan's Flight, Illuminations, and the Epcot fountain music (the very best song is "Standing in Motion" by Yanni).

I'm trying to figure out why everyone loves the sound of the Monorail. It doesn't really make a sound.

Anyway, I love the "chime" at Star Tours when the announcer speaks. Also, I really love the music playing as you enter early at the AK going to Donald's. The quiet walk with that music is great.

For me it is the music as you enter MK and te sound of the monorail and train whistle. We have the Disney CD's and have been listening to the music in the car. My son loves the Mickey Mouse March song and we listen to that like 10 times over before we can go onto the next song. When I hear it, I just get visions of walking down Main Street.:tink:

To t he previous poster, the monorail has a humming sound, I guess you may not notice it. It ios white noise.

"Please Stand Clear Of The Doors, Por Favor Mantanganse Alejado De Las Puertas"

I LOVE hearing this, on my last trip, my mom and i tried to memorize it, but we couldn't quite get it right. Then one of the podcasts i listen to did a segment on the monorail, and it played that part. So now, i can listen to all day long! Also, if you want the words, just google "please stand clear of the doors.

For me it's the Northwoods music I hear upon entering the WL. It's soooo soothing , and is a definite confirmation that "WE HAVE ARRIVED!"
Also, we have a WDW cd that we bought years ago that has the music to the original Main St
Electrical Parade. Every time I hear the intro synthesizer, I get goosebumps!!:D

The horns at the beginning of the Spectromagic parade.

I get chill bumps and tears flowing everytime.

My favorite too. It is one of the things I remember the most from our very 1st trip to WDW around 12, 13 years ago.

I also love the sounds from the Tomarrowlands Transit Autority, "Paging Mr. Marrow Mr. Tom Marrow your party from saturn has arrived, please give them a ring."

Honestly waiting in line for Space Mountain and listening to the background music. I also love the sound that the magnets make when RnRc is reving up!!!!

The sounds the buses make when you can hear them coming... and you get ALL excited for your FIRST moment in a Disney park for that trip!!

Entrance music from Epcot.. its the best.. the best kind when you are walking from your bus in the middle of the day when its all quiet and you can hear it...

"Por favor, montenganse alejado de las puertas." Nuf said...

When you're walking near ToT and you can hear the bell ring from THAT far away... oh yeah...

Soarin music... not really sure why... but yeah.. Love it!

"Pretty good, sure as you're born!"

"...there's so much that we share, that its time we're aware... its a small...."
Oh wait... I got that confused with the WORST sound at Disney...oops.. my bad...

I also agree with Spectromagic and Wishes.

However, in AK on KS they play a song on the radio when you are out in the savahna. Seeing the animals, and hearing the authentic music is always a miving moment for me.

Does anyone know what song it is? I have always wanted to get it. Thanks!
