I think the most obvious is the music on Main St., but the other two would be the music in the World Showcase and the music in Africa and Asia in AK.

Well its not just one park but one ride in particular. Anytime we hear yo ho yo ho we automatically want to go back to WDW! Also anytime we hear the music from splash moutain! Those songs have us longing for disney every time we hear them!

Maybe because it is the first music we hear, but I have to say the music at our resort. As for theme parks, Main Street is our favorite:thumbsup:

In order for me...

MK
Epcot
AK

HS doesn't have general music that puts me in the Disney mood, but if I hear Indiana Jones theme music or Star Wars, I think of Disney.

I would have to say MK, but my wife and daughter really enjoy some of the music in AK as well.

I love most of the WDW parks music, but especially enjoy the Main Street background music on Main Street and the Future World music at Epcot.

:exactly: My EXACT thoughts as I was reading theu the posts & pondering my decision! I was all set to answer EP but then again maybe MK! Attraction musics MK for sure, background music, definitely EP! :mickey:

The first that came to mind was the music that plays when you enter Epcot. Powerful and exciting!
The second are the trolley singer/dancers in the morning at the MK. Love that music too!

I would say it is a tie between MK and Epcot for me. I love the music in the different lands in MK, also in Epoct, the Future World music justs says "Disney music" to me, I also love how the music changes in the WS. :mickey: :)

DisneyorBust

How do I pick just one ? :confused:
Right now, the music that puts me in the Disney mood is the entrance music to Epcot.

TikiLounger
02-18-2010, 09:57 AM
Any music in the Magic Kingdom, especially Frontierland.

Giggy
02-18-2010, 10:33 AM
Top of the list for me would probably be the Epcot entrance music. As someone already said it's a powerful, energetic, even exciting piece of music. This piece just seems to fit Epcot so well and hearing it definitely puts me into WDW-mode.

Another one I find is a combination of everything at Tomorrowland in Magic kingdom, the scenery, music and the sound of the TTA in the background. I think it helps that we visit here on our first day in the parks so it's always met with maximum excitement.

:thumbsup:

Any attraction or show music gets me, but especially the background music on Main Street.

I also love the music they play on the boats from WL to MK, kind of a rock version of Disney songs. Anyone know where I can get these from??:confused:

elmjimmlm
02-18-2010, 12:29 PM
I would say the bus music from POR...I love it... I even found a ringtone that sounds like it for my phone...

Nothing is more "Disney" to me than the backgound music when I "come home" to our resort. As I'm walking up to the main lobby or after we check in and are walking the grounds, I know that at last, I'm at Disney...

The best sound is rolling my suitcase to the room from the car with my welcome home packet bursting with brochures, pamphlets and POSSIBILITIES!!!!

I also love walking up to MK and EP and hearing the Monorail wiz by.

Walking into Poly - ohana is usually our first meal there - and water and tropical (a/c) breeze that hits you in the face when you first walk into the great lobby.... oh I can hear that music now!

EP entrance music is awesome as is the MK music with the train whistling in the background. But, what really gets me crying is the "goodbye" song after Illuminations... walking up to Spaceship earth and chasing the "sparkly" sidewalk (as my DD's say). That's usually when I shed a tear... or try to blink them back.

I'm sorry, what I supposed to choose just one??????

I love the music in Space Mountain..we call it "Whale" music and everytime we hear something simular it makes me think of WDW.

Also...Aerosmith's song they used to play at the take off point on RRC :mickey:

Epcot pre-illuminations music

lightyearfan
02-22-2010, 10:19 AM
wow this is a great post, i always mention to dw that when we are walking around to pay attention to the sounds that the parks have, it def puts us more in the mood while at the parks, from the drums sounding as you walk into adventurland, to the futuristic music you hear at epcot walking from mission space to the other side where soarin is, walking at the DHS to hear different movie themes and of course Ak, sets the mood very nicely as well, if we were going to place them it would be:

1. Epcot + Mk (tie)
2. AK
3. DHS

Magic Kingdom

I also like Animal Kingdom's music and AKL music. Almost all Disney music is great.

I especially like the music that you don't specifically notice. Do you know what I mean? You hear it, but it's just a part of the scene. Disney does a great job of using all 5 senses to tell the story. It sets the mood, you hear it, but it's not in blaring in your face.
It makes you feel like you are in Africa or on an old fashioned main street or on an adventure.

Epcot by far. The entrance plaza music is my favorite. I also was a big fan of Tomorrowland's music in the mid to late 90's.

Maybe because it is the first music we hear, but I have to say the music at our resort. As for theme parks, Main Street is our favorite:thumbsup:


I agree. I love the Port Orleans music. I've often tried (without success) to find its loop.

As far as park music, nothing matches main street.

Tough question. I guess it depends on my mood. Right now, I'm in an "Epcot" mood, so I'm listening to the Illuminations pre-show music. THAT has me in a Disney mood!

Jennifer_and_Chris
02-23-2010, 10:30 AM
I just found my "Tapestry of Dreams" cd and will listen to it over and over again all day long. :music:

Now that makes my heart swell everytime I hear it. If I close my eyes, I can see myself sitting in front of Japan right against the tape on the ground watching the giant drum wheel thingy pass by.

BRING BACK TAPESTRY OF DREAMS!!! :judge:

DizMom416
02-23-2010, 10:42 AM
Wow what a great question. My all time favorite is the music from Spectromagic.

joonyer
02-23-2010, 11:09 AM
Its not a park, but I also really love the "western" themed background music they play at Fort Wilderness. It really sets it apart from other campgrounds and puts you in the Disney mood.

Dsnygirl
02-26-2010, 01:16 PM
Honestly, for me, it's AK.... I can just hear the music now as I type. It's not the first park we go to, but we're usually so excited to be on Main St we totally miss the music!! AK is calmer & quieter and I just hear it more there... plus, I love how beautiful it is... :cloud9:

The Innoventions loop is my absolute favorite, but the Adventureland loop and most of the Tommorowland loop is very relaxing

I agree about Frontierland. Also the background music in the World Showcase countries.

Mainstreet tops my list...but epcot (especially after dark for some reason) comes in a close second.

I agree 100%. There is something about walking out of Epcot at night, with the fireworks lighting up the ground that screams DISNEY!

Also, the Haunted Mansion and Pirates soundtracks are quintessential Disney.

Definitely the music at Epcot. Especially some of the retro music from EPCOT Center - like the orginal entrance loop.

Epcot hands down especially after the fireworks :mickey:

I love it all, but without hesitation, Epcot has the best music. When I think of WDW, Epcot music is what pops into my head.

03-15-2010, 06:33 PM
I'd say Epcot if ANY of the music that was on my 1984 Epcot album still existed.

If I am at home and want to be in the Disney mood I would have to say the music from Epcot does it for me, I love Illuminations, Promise, Impressions of France, Legacy etc. But if I am at WDW then the park that has the music that puts me in the mood most it would be The Magic Kingdom, especially hearing "When you wish upon a star" walking through the castle.

Not sure if they still do, but there used to be a Disney radio station you could tune into on the way down the Florida Turnpike towards Orlando. That used to start it for us, but now its anything in MK or Epcot

kemps@wdw
03-18-2010, 09:35 PM
I don't even have to be in a park. All I have to do is walk thru the doors @ the WL, feel the "northwoods" wind gently caress my face, inhale the sweet aroma of my home-away-from-home, and hear the soothing music that beckons to me, and I know that I am truly in "The Happiest Place on Earth"! (how about that :D)

I love most of the WDW parks music, but especially enjoy the Main Street background music on Main Street and the Future World music at Epcot.

My two choices as well! Can't wait--just 2 more months till visit 28!:D

donnine
03-20-2010, 12:01 PM
I especially love the original Future World music back in the '80's. All WDW music makes me smile, whether I'm sitting at the piano playing out of one of my Disney collections or putting in a CD of the park's music, or listening to my bamboo wind chimes which reminds me of Animal Kingdom. All time favorite still would be Main Street--That IS the spirit of Walt himself!:mickey:

The music at the Magic Kingdom always puts me in the best Disney mood. Its amazing how they can contrast music from one land into music in another. There is only one place in the whole park where you can't here music... I'll let you figure out where it's at.

03-30-2010, 07:27 AM
Another vote for ALL OF THEM!!!! I love the jazzy hollywood style music as you go into HS and the old and creepy music near ToT. I like all the african style music at AK and AKL and the futuristic music in tomorrowland in Epcot especially - and of course I love the cheerful classic disney music as you go into MK. Everything puts me in the disney mood when I'm in the world!!

Mousemates
03-30-2010, 11:18 AM
While my favorite is Mainstreet...I also love the entrance loop to Epcot (infact i'm streaming it right now on subsonic radio--lol). Two weeks and counting...can't wait to get back.

darthmacho
03-31-2010, 03:55 PM
I think all of the area music is inspiring, but two places really fit well:

1. When they play classical movie scores at MGM, oops, I mean DS.

2. The lobby music at the Wilderness Lodge. I suppose it doesn't count since it is a resort and the question was park music, but i had to make note of it. :mickey:

lioness8978
04-01-2010, 09:23 AM
:mickey: MK, all the way. But non-park music that really gets me in the mood is the disney resort channel music for the weather, menus, etc. Its the jazzy versions of disney songs and its wonderful!!!

DDuck66
04-01-2010, 09:46 AM
For us it would be a toss up between Epcot and Disney Hollywood Studios!!!
