A Musical History of Walt Disney World: 50th Anniversary

[mharrington]

With the Disneyland 50th Anniversary CD set released, I just can't help but think of what would WDW would do on its 50th. Well, it will obviously be larger than that, given the size and number of stuff to do. Instead of six discs, there will be ten. Anyway, here's the first disc:

DISC ONE

1. Walt Disney's Describing WDW (1966)

Magic Kingdom
MAIN STREET U.S.A.

1. Roy Disney’s Dedication of Walt Disney World (October 1, 1971)
2. All Aboard – Main Street Station
3. Walt Disney World Railroad
4. Flitterin' – Main Street Area Music
5. Fortuosity – Main Street Area Music
6. Minnie's Yoo Hoo - Saxophone Quartet
7. Meet Me On Main Street - Dapper Dans

ADVENTURELAND
Sounds of Adventureland

1. Tiki Room Barker Bird
2. The Enchanted Tiki Room Garden
3. Tiki Room Tropical Serenade
4. Enchanted Tiki Room, Under New Management

Cool List! I like the idea.

For Main Street, you should have the song that the group of singers sing on the Trolley, something like "Bang-Bang-Bang With the Trolley" and a recording of the Dapper Dans.

Also for Tiki Birds, you should have the original version and the Under New Management Version.

What kind of song by the Dapper Dans? And did you look at the list for Adventureland carefully? It DOES have both Tiki Room shows. It's just that the first Tiki Room show is called the Tiki Room Tropical Serenade (that's what it was unofficially nicknamed). In fact, they will play back-to-back so you can maybe compare and contrast both shows.

 

[mharrington]

Here now is DISC TWO...

FRONTIERLAND

1. The Ballad of Davy Crockett - Frontierland Area Music
2. Old Yeller - Frontierland Area Music
3. Country Bear Jamboree
4. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
5. Splash Mountain
6. Country Bear Vacation Hoedown
7. Admiral Joe Fowler Riverboat
8. Diamond Horseshoe Saloon Revue
9. Frontierland Station

LIBERTY SQUARE

1. The Hall of Presidents
2. Richard F. Irvine Riverboat
3. The Haunted Mansion
4. Liberty Belle Riverboat

What do you think? Let's discuss...

Sorry, I didn't quite understand what you meant by "Tiki Room Tropical Serenade." I thought it was just Tropical Serenade, and you meant a version of a preshow or something.

As for the Dapper Dans, I don't know exactly what they sing, probably classical barber shop quartet songs. I do know, however, that the Dapper Dans did record a version of "Grim Grinning Ghosts" for the Haunted Mansion motion picture soundtrack.

Here now is DISC TWO...

FRONTIERLAND

LIBERTY SQUARE

3. The Haunted Mansion
4. Liberty Belle Riverboat

What do you think? Let's discuss...

It sounds pretty good. What about the Country Bears Christmas version recording.

And I was thinking what about the entire WDW Railroad spiel.

Oh, I've thought about the Christmas show; it will be there, just you wait. But I didn't think of the script of the WDW Railroad. Thanks. I'll put that in.

 

[mharrington]

And just so's you know, this CD set will also contain tracks for some of my ideas for WDW. You can view them by visiting the "Improving WDW" thread; my ideas are towards the end of the LONG thread.

Now bear in mind that some attractions do not exist in WDW, these are some attraction ideas that I think should be in WDW, which is why I think they should be here.
