Movies that get you in the mood for parks

[frankd1962]

I was going through my Disney movies and noticing some titles that made me think of rides or attractions in each parks.

So here are the ones that I'll be watching before:

DS - Tower of Terror
AK - A Bug's Life
Epcot - Finding Nemo
MK - Pirates of the Caribbean 1 & 2 (These I'll be watching just before going to see PotC 3

Any other ideas?

Willy Wonka choc Factory-origional

Mary Poppins always think of Main Street


Hunchback Notre Dme-always think of MGM when they had they stage show

On a whim I ordered a copy of the Vacation Planning DVD for The Happiest Celebration and have used it since to get myself pumped up for the trip. Other movies I love to use include Toy Story, Peter Pan, PotC, and Alice in Wonderland. My fiancee also has some addiction to watching The Haunted Mansion (I know, I know...) before we go too!

In my opinion here are the movies you HAVE to watch before you leave for WDW. They always get us pumped for out trip. We try to start watching at least two per week during the month leading up to our trip.

The Lion King
The Little Mermaid
Peter Pan
Beauty and the Beast
Pirates of the Caribbean 1 & 2
Mary Poppins
Tarzan(higly underrated, one of the best Disney Animated films IMHO)
Song of the South
Finding Nemo
Bambi
Mulan
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Pinnochio

I love the classic movies:
Peter Pan
Snow White
Bambi
Pinnochio
Cinderella
Mary Poppins

of course the Vacation DVDs as well, even the old ones.

Peter Pan! I don't know why this movie, above the rest, gets me in a Disney mood. I also like Tower of Terror (which is really bad).

You know... that list really isn't half bad, although I must admit that I have yet to watch Song of the South. On a side note, that movie-watching "ritual" of sorts sounds like something which I have actually been planning to do before my next trip to WDW. And I know that it seems to be an obvious way to get you in the mood before going to visit, but either way I think that it should work nicely.

The vacation planning videos always get me in the mood before a trip. Also checking some of my pre-recorded Travel Channel and NG Channel specials on WDW. Those are awesome.

All of the above mentioned get me in the disney world mood. Also, if you have any, try watching some home videos of you and your fam in disney, I know that really gets me ready for my upcoming trips.

The DVD planners usually do it for me, but I'm a Disney Princess/fantasy fanatic. So I usually watch Cinderella or, my favorite, Beauty and the Beast. It helps me get whisked away into a land of dreams...
