I think this would work for the last hour after a nighttime firework show, like a cool down soundtrack after fireworks. For just nighttime though? That's kind of sad, Main Street is a neutral zone that's supposed to be the opening and closing of Disneyland.Just caught this gem from MiceChat:
“Disneyland reopened Friday with a notable change on Main Street, U.S.A. that was easy one to miss in the bliss-fueled, heatwave-addled haze of returning to Disneyland after more than a year away. Main Street’s music loop has been updated to change from the standard background loop during the morning to a playlist of upbeat instrumental Disney songs as the park transitions toward closing hours.
The park’s last overhaul of its Main Street, U.S.A. music loop took place in early 2012 when the the loop was rearranged and re-recorded, retaining long-time favorites such as “Meet Me in St. Louis, Louis,” “In the Good Old Summer Time,” and “Alexander’s Ragtime Band.” At the time, Disney was met with controversy for including a recording of “Married Life” from Pixar’s “Up.” That controversy quickly passed when fans discovered the period-appropriate arrangement of the song fit in seamlessly with the rest of the turn-of-the-century tunes.
This new change, however, is a far cry from simply adding in one contemporary piece to the mix. Indeed, transitioning the background audio midday to a playlist exclusively comprised of instrumental Disney songs is a significant change that simply isn’t necessary or thematically appropriate. Disney has used playlists of Disney songs and other music on Main Street in the past but typically only for special events, New Year’s Eve parties, and Grad Nite events. This change to everyday park operation is definitely not the same as changing the music for special events. If Disneyland is about escapism into worlds real and imagined then Main Street, U.S.A., inspired by Walt Disney’s boyhood home of Marceline, Missouri, should reflect that — including with period-appropriate music. Hopefully Disney changes this so the Main Street music loop returns to all-day use. Save “Under the Sea” and “When You Wish Upon a Star” for the parade floats.
Below, a partial list of the new Disney song playlist:
- Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo
- Mickey Mouse Club March
- It’s a Small World
- When You Wish Upon A Star
- Casey Jr.
- Under the Sea
- Saludos Amigos
- Mary Poppins Medley
- Heigh-Ho”

Well, this has put a damper on my May 23 trip. I didn't have much choice in the dates (we wanted to see Avengers Campus too, and we wanted to use a multi-day ticket to keep costs as low as possible, so it locked us in an odd 2 week window), but I was looking forward to the parks being a little less crowd. I guess since they've already gotten their good publicity they don't need it.
I'm hoping that what we saw this opening weekend was really 15% capacity and that 25% capacity won't feel too much worse. (Also hoping they restrict capacity again come June for Avengers Campus... a fool can dream
Anyway, here's a daily update.
