This is the loop that plays in Storyteller's Cafe. It plays during lunch and dinner service, and is replaced by a different loop during character breakfasts.

While it is a very interesting loop, IDing it has proven difficult. The speakers are located up high in the cieling of the restaurant and are often difficult to hear over the sounds of guests enjoying their meals. There is one speaker in the bathroom but it's silent. While the listing is still incomplete I'm including it here along with descriptions of the unidentified tracks. If you have any info on what else plays in the loop it would be very much appreciated.

Loop runs 49:53.

2. Cielito Lindo - Paco de Lucía & Ramón Algeciras - Hispanoamerica
3. Peg Leg - Leo Kottke - Peculiaraso
4. Blow the Man Down - Various Artists - The Wind in the Rigging*
5. The Ride - James Horner - The Mask of Zorro [Edit]

*This exact same version of Blow the Man Down also appears on the Disneyland Resort Paris Official Album "Une Journee A Disneyland Paris".

Now one question that has come across my mind is: what on earth do these songs have to do with each other? There are a wide variety of styles and genres represented from orchestral scores to spanish guitar and new age. The theory I have heard which I quite like is that the songs were actually chosen to coincide with the stories represented in large painted murals throughout the restaurant. I was skeptical at first but I took a closer look at these during my last meal there and I'm starting to believe it. Take a look next time you're at the restaurant and see for yourself.
