What's Your "Going To The Park" Music Mix?

[figmentgoofy]

I live about an hour from Disneyland and was looking to make the perfect mix of songs to get me in the mood when I drive to the park.

Any suggestions? Looking for 60-80min of stuff. Either park music or film songs that remind me of specific park attractions. The hardest part - and this is where you can really be creative - is arranging the songs so the tracks flow together nicely.

Looking forward to hearing some creative ideas. Even if you can't think of an entire disc, any songs that flow nicely into each other would be appreciated.

We always start off our driving with "Dizz Knee Land" by Dada which we feel perfectly expresses the universal truth that no matter what you have just done, you can celebrate it at Disneyland. After that we play anything upbeat, up tempo. We've got many of the Ultimate Disney and Radio Disney CDs with the remixes that are really fun. Or we put on our in park music collection for our favorite rides.

I would say the perfect track to start your CD off with is how Disney usually starts their park soundtracks off with. The dedication ceremony speech that Walt Disney gave.

I was going to say that as well.

For me that's the audio clip to listen to as you're walking through the gates and on to Main St.

We listen to the "Official Album of the Disneyland Resort". It has it all.

Knights of Cydonia-Muse

It reminds me of Big Thunder Mountain.

Another one to listen to is "Beauty And The Beast." (Yes, that was a Celine reference. Go ahead - let the bashing begin. LOL)
