Have you ever tried?...

[Zippity-do-DAD]

Yes, I too have lurked in the shadows whilst enjoying the scratchy yet melodically magical elevator music. But Im here today to proclaim that there's a great big beautiful tomorrow and at some point in that tomorrow, I will unashamedly dial that most sacred of numbers to once again hear those sweet tunes of scratchy Magic!

I call frequently to use Disney gift cards to pay off the balance. Last night I was on hold for about 48 minutes, and I'm not mad about it one bit.

Like I said, the static quality of the hold music makes it better to me.

I agree. I put it on speaker and me and the kids enjoy it.

I used to listen to Mouse World Radio, but stopped for a while. Now I'm back on it and it's wonderful.

Sorcerer Radio for me because of the EPCOT hour, loopy tuesday and E-Ticket time. I swear it makes me more productive at work.

I know this sounds ridiculous and/or stupid, but has anyone ever called the reservation line and asked to be put on hold so you can listen to the music? I like listening to Disney music on the live stations, but for some reason the crackly music on the phone is mesmerizing to me.

Sometime before someone posted an audio recording of their Monorail trip around the resorts. I played that on a loop while at work. Made me think I was on my way to MK.

I've never heard of these sites... Can someone explain to me how this isn't copyright infringement so I can feel less bad about it?

I have no idea and I don't feel bad about it either.

I have no idea and I don't feel bad about it either.

The 25th anniversary "Remember the Magic" soundtrack just came on... my first trip to WDW. I no longer feel bad.

ETA: Is that the Mark VI armor behind you? So jealous.

Ha, that did not take long.

Yes it is. The pic is from my business trip to DLR last October. The Avengers set there is great to see if you are Marvel fan.

So what is it about the Disney music that makes that kind of an impact?
Also, why does it not affect everyone the same way. I was hooked after my first trip and other people don't even notice it.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

I'm on hold now. "Epcot Entrance Area Loop" is the trump card of Disney hold music... Like "Festering Wounds" in Apples to Apples.

 

[D PARK RADIO]

Give dparkradio a shot! We have and android and ios app and you can also just stream from your computer! It's the same music you would hear on hold and much much more!

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

For some reason whenever I call the music on hold always has static. It doesn't matter if I use a cell phone or a landline. We called Disneyland Paris recently to make some dining reservations and that was clearer than WDW's line.

 

[Berret]

I've seen a commercial where the person did just that, though it wasn't a Disney commercial. However, I've been tempted a time or two to do it, but doubt I would, since I really don't like being kept on hold for long periods of time.

 

[EOD K9]

I usually don't have to ask to be put on hold, usually I'm that 100th caller in the queue so waiting is natural.

I wouldn't call it ridiculous or stupid...but it's definitely not something I'd ever do.
