We’ve also seen some Disneyland-specific albums for both Cars Land and Carthay Circle…which are obviously much more narrowly focused than a resort-wide album. In recent years, we haven’t seen an update of the double-disc official park albums that used to be updated yearly, but iTunes releases have slowly trickled out. Over the years, Disney has put out a lot of official albums, some of which covered the entirety of Walt Disney World or Disneyland, and some of which have been narrowly focused on specific lands, attractions, or events. If you’re an experienced torrenter with every official album in your collection, this article probably won’t do you much good. Note that this is a primer for those new to the sometimes intimidating world of Walt Disney World and Disneyland theme park music.

This primer will get you started on the road to having an excellent collection of music from the Disney theme parks. In fact, it can even be free! I keep all of my music in digital form, so unlike books, it also doesn’t take up any physical space. That’s what I found when I first started “collecting” Disney theme park music, and I have so much now that despite having it play for several hours each day, I can go an entire week without playing the same track twice!įortunately for fans, unlike Disney parks book collecting, music collecting is a relatively inexpensive hobby. However, I’ll bet if you download and play those tracks, you would instantly recognize them. Off the top of your head, you may not have any idea what music plays in the ‘background’ of Tomorrowland or the Innoventions breezeways. Other music heard in the parks is far less famous, but resonates with us just as strongly.

Many of these songs were penned by the Sherman Brothers, two of the most significant people in the history of Disney. Most people are familiar with the big-name attraction themes, like those from ‘it’s a small world’ and Haunted Mansion. Park music has become incredibly popular as it is one way people can relive their vacations and instantly transport themselves back to their “happy places” in Walt Disney World or Disneyland.Ī lot of effort goes into creating the music heard in Walt Disney World and Disneyland. Walt Disney World and Disneyland park music is available for purchase on official albums and via free downloads, and this guide will help you find the best ride soundtracks, background music loops, and more.
