    Default hmm...

    I actually like the entrance to Epcot as well, but one that no one has mentioned yet is the marimba music on the train. I have always loved that music!

    I am like everyone else...I love it all!!!

    Default music mood

    It seems perfect to say, all the music played throughout the disney resort fits perfect right where it plays. Here are some favorites for me:

    MK: Main Street USA big band music, Main St. Electric parade, Wishes, Spectro, Pirates: Yo Ho., Great Big Beautiful.....(you know how the rest goes), Splash Mt..

    Epoct: entrance

    Polynesian: Hawaiian music heard throughout the grounds....lol (You guys forgot about that one)

    I have so many I'll follow others' examples and do the by park breakdown

    MK--love the ragtimey versions of old broadway songs they play on Main Street!(especially Put On Your Sunday Clothes...which is even more special now thanks to WallE!) Also love tribal drums as you cross the bridge into Adventureland, the chord progression of Grim Grinnin Ghosts, the pre-spinning TeaCup music from Alice in Wonderland, Space Mountain cue music and Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (which is my moms cell ringtone!)

    Old but not forgotten MK music that I loved: If You Had Wings/Dreamflight, original Tiki room songs, off to nowhere in particular (toad cue music), and Baroque Hoedown! Oh, and "these are the times, these are the best times these are the best times of our lives!"

    Epcot: American Adventure area music (Heard it every day working there!), Innoventions East area music, all of the fountain medleys, Illuminations.

    Old but not forgotten Epcot Center Music: Here we goooo, feel the floooow, through the univeeeeerse of energyyyyy! "Just make believe, you're a tiny little seed, a tiny little seed reachin up to meet your needs!", Dreamfinder/Figment singing "One Little Spark", Tomorrow's Child and the music in Horizons!

    DHS--cue music for ToT mostly here. and Fantasmic of course!

    Does anyone out there remember the old World Showcase song? It had it's own theme!

    I like the background music in FW in Epcot. As a former CM it holds nice memmories and we got to really hear it each day, especially before and after park hours.

    I really love the old music played on the MK Train - 'Rollin', rollin' on the express, rollin' on the Walt Disney World express...'

    I don't think it plays anymore

    I've held off on posting to this question, mostly b/c I have a pretty vast music collection that I've gotten over the Ears. My collection may not be as big as some but definitely more than most that I know, including a lot of the older attractions/music loops. I'll try and name the more top ones of mine at each park.

    MK - Anything HM, Tomorrowland in general, Peter Pan queue, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, PoTC, Wishes, Spectromagic.

    Epcot - Spaceship Earth(up until the latest refurb, I'll see if I still consider it tops after my trip in Nov.-Dec.), anything Horizons, anything WoM, the original JII, the original Living Seas queue, anything involving The Land old and new, FW in general old and new which includes Communicore/Innoventions, Capt. EO, True Colors pre-show, UofE old and new, Norway's Stav Church, Golden Dreams old and new, Japan in general, Impressions De France, Illuminations old, new, pre-show and post-show.

    DHS - Anything Muppet, anything Star Tours, anything Indiana Jones, Animation Courtyard, anything ToT, Four For A Dollar aka Return2Zero, Fantasmic! from pre-show, during, and post-show.

    AK - Tarzan Rocks!, Dinoland USA, Dinosaur, the song used during Kil. Safaris on the "radio", anything It's Tough To Be A Bug, Festival Of The Lion King.

    Now of course I have many many more available, but these have to be the tops out of all of it.
    28 times to WDW and still going since 1984!! Most recent visit: November/December 2011...Far too long since my last visit! :'(

    Personally, I believe it didn't start with a mouse. It started with a man that had one of the greatest imaginations in this world.

    I love all the music at WDW, but I especially love the Main St. Electrical Parade theme, "Grim Grinning Ghosts", the old Epcot theme played when you first walked in, "One Little Spark" (original version), and the music played in It's A Small World in the Australia/Polynesia scetion.

    Post WDW music

    Someone here said it best that they couldn't imagine a silent Disney World. Every song, every background music really does have a piece and is carefully chosen. I love listening to the music.

    My favorites are:
    - Space Mountain star tunnel (of course)
    - Main Street loop

    I'm sure there are others, but I have to go back to hear them all!!!

    My faves would start with the pre-Illuminations music, then Illuminations and contiunue through the Tapestry of Nations music that usually plays after Illuminations.

    Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you!

    My all-time favorite park music is an old background track song called "Behind the Waterfall" by Paul Speer. It played in Tomorrowland for many years. If you listen to the preview on iTunes, I'm sure many of you will recognize it.

    It is hard to imagine the parks without music, but it's also hard to imagine the music playing without the people! That Epcot entrance music that we all love so much plays ALL NIGHT! When closing the Epcot monorail station last year and waiting for a coordinator to pick me up (1 AM), I noticed the music plays even when no one is there. And it is much louder than it seems during the day!
