Magic Kingdom
Full show runs 33:25 (this run time includes tracks 03 - 08 listed below). I made a recording last week and the 10 minute announcement was not played. I don't know if this was a fluke, or whether the 10 minute announcement has been eliminated.

The general order of the show is as follows (all times approximate). I haven't determined the source...

Loop runs 57:40

The loop plays in the Artist Point restaurant and in the adjacent restrooms.

Camp Minnie-Mickey - Area Music

Posted by Horizons, 28 January 2009 - - - - - - · 80 views
Animal Kingdom
While I have a reference recording, there is a skip between See an Elephant Fly and Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf, so I don't have an accurate running time of the loop. In addition, it is not clear to me where the loop starts, as there could be various starting points based on the long pauses between some of the tracks. However,...

There have been three loops used since the park opened in 1989. Wedroy1923 sent me a live recording of the first loop to see if I could finish the playlist he was compiling, although I haven't listened to it yet.

The only difference between the last two loops is the inclusion of H-1 Racer Plane and The Medallion...

Animal Kingdom, Dinoland
Loop runs 36:04

All tracks can be found on the official soundtrack to Dinosaur.

I wish I knew whether the exterior music to CTX, prior to its change to Dinosaur, was the same music that currently plays in the queue/rotunda area. If so, I missed a golden opportunity to record this music, which itself runs about 25...

The current lobby music was installed in 1993 and is comprised of commercially available material.
