Sunset Boulevard - Area Music

Posted by Horizons, 30 April 2010 - - - - - - · 221 views
Sunset Boulevard
Loop runs 57:23

The loop plays at the start of Hollywood Boulevard and ends by the Tower of Terror, which has it's own area music.

The reconstruction in general circulation, running 52:15, is not correct, including the use of incorrect versions of songs. I may attempt to identify the source CDs at some point (Wedroy1923 has already provided a few...

The American Adventure - Area BGM

Posted by Horizons, 11 April 2010 - - - - - - · 108 views
World Showcase, EPCOT
Loop runs 59:07.

The loop also plays in the lobby to the American Adventure attraction. I don't know if a different interior loop played at some point in the past, similar to other World Showcase pavilions.

Thanks to Wedroy1923 for coming up with most of this playlist.

01 - Carry Me Back to Old Virginny (2.27)
02 - My Old Kentucky Home, Goodnight...

Disney's Hollywood Studios - Christmas BGM

Posted by Horizons, 30 March 2010 - - - - - - · 128 views
Christmas
Loop runs 53:43

The Christmas loop replaces all of the normal area loops except for Mickey Avenue, Pixar Place, and Streets of America (which changes to The Osborne Family of Spectacle of Dancing Lights in the evening). The 2009 loop is the same as in previous years. In the past, DHS and EPCOT have used the same Christmas loop. I will confirm the same is...

Posted by Horizons, 27 March 2010 - - - - - - · 240 views
Magic Kingdom, Frontierland
The current safety spiel runs 0:30 and is different than the version that was released on the Disneyland Forever CDs. I believe the announcement is made by Dallas McKennon.

Howdy Partners. For your safety, remain seated with your hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the train and be...

Illuminations: Reflections of Earth (Preshow Music)

Posted by Horizons, 02 December 2009 - - - - - - · 299 views
EPCOT
The pre-show loop runs approximately 30 minutes (28:57 on the night I recorded it). The playlist below is the "normal" track listing which can be extended, by including additional songs, on those nights technical difficulties arise. In addition, while I have noted in which songs the pre-show announcements were made based on my recording, this...

Lights of Winter BGM

Posted by Horizons, 10 November 2009 - - - - - - · 33 views
EPCOT, Christmas
Loop runs 26:22

My recording has the first few seconds of Song of Joy Medley not included, as the loop transitioned from Illuminations: Reflections of Earth into Song of Joy Medley when I made my recording. I don't recall if the song normally fades in, or starts at the beginning in all circumstances. If the rumor is true, the Lights of...

Magic Kingdom - Christmas BGM

Posted by Horizons, 08 November 2009 - - - - - - · 60 views
TTC, MSUSA, Magic Kingdom
Loop runs 56:54

The loop can be heard at the Transportation & Ticket Center, Main Entrance, and on Main Street, U.S.A. For years, I've heard that the WDW version was the same as the Christmas loop used in Disneyland, a copy of which, running 61:09, is in general circulation. A playlist for the DL loop can be found...

Dumbo the Flying Elephant

Posted by Horizons, 26 September 2009 - - - - - - · 105 views
Magic Kingdom, Fantasyland
Loop runs 15:57

The loop plays in the queue boarding area and is the soundtrack used as Dumbo flies, although the loop is interrupted for the various safety spiels that play on loading/unloading.

Thanks to Wedroy1923 for compiling the playlist for the DLP Dumbo music. The WDW loop is the same so you can find the playlist, and CD information,...

Disney's Villains Mix and Mingle

Posted by Horizons, 23 September 2009 - - - - - - · 68 views
MNSSHP, Magic Kingdom
Two versions of Disney's Villains Mix and Mingle are used at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.

The normal version runs 7:48 and usually plays except for the show at 9:00pm. Because Hallowishes follows at 9:30, the Villains do not come out to mingle after the show (the alternate show runs 7:56). The only difference between the two shows is...

Posted by Horizons, 23 September 2009 - - - - - - · 251 views
Magic Kingdom
The current loop, installed in 2005, runs 54:19.

This loop plays at the Ticket and Transportation Center and at the main gate entrance to the Magic Kingdom. From what I can tell, three different loops have been used in this area. A reconstruction of the previous loop (loop II) is in general circulation (with a run time of 01:01:46). The original loop may...

The loop can be heard all around the Dino-Rama area in Dinoland. A separate loop can be heard around the exterior of Chester and Hester's Dinosaur Treasures.

Animal Kingdom, Dinoland

The loop can be heard inside and outside of Chester and Hester's Dinosaur Treasures as well as the restrooms adjacent to the store. The loop is presented in the form of a Radio show - W-BONE - and includes one "advertisement" for Chester and Hester's Dinosaur Treasures.

I'm still trying to determine the source CDs...

Only one song is used in the Swiss Family Treehouse, Swisskapolka, and it was released on several official albums and WDWF. During the Christmas season, in the past, the song was swapped out for Deck the Halls, which was also released on WDWF.

Mad Tea Party

Posted by Horizons, 05 September 2009 - - - - - - · 50 views
Magic Kingdom, Fantasyland
Loop runs 6:23

The loop can be heard all around the perimeter of the attraction, by the Enchanted Grove, and in the restrooms next to the Enchanted Grove. As far as I can tell, the loop is also used as the attraction music, as the tea cups are spinning, but more observation is needed to confirm this.

The current loop was installed sometime in the...
