The Mouse and The Music - Disney Attraction Soundtracks (Imagineer Podcast repost)

The Mouse and The Music - Disney Attraction Soundtracks (Imagineer Podcast repost)

For all you Disney fans out there, I had the honor to co-host a segment called The Mouse and The Music on the Imagineer Podcast. This is the full two parter deep dive conversation we had on our favorite attractions in Disney parks including Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Disneyland, and California Adventure. Here's the description: Music at the Disney Parks is so iconic that several attraction themes have been popular for generations. From Sherman Brothers classics like it's a small world and The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room to modern favorites like Golden Dream and even Nothing Can Stop Us Now, Disney attraction themes and scores help convey the story of the attraction and leave Disney fans singing along as they exit the experience. In this podcast episode (part 1), I chat with my cousin Mike (a music industry executive and lifelong Disney fan) about our favorite attraction soundtracks, including the stories behind them and why we love these themes so much. In part 1, we discuss our favorites at Magic Kingdom and Epcot. In our next episode (part 2), we'll discuss our favorites at Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Disneyland, and Disney California Adventure. Check out the Imagineer Podcast!
