Hi all. I just returned from Disney World as well. I was very much looking forward to the Wonderland system and so excited about the "Walt Disney World Band" release. The new titles were not in the system a few days ago during the first part of my visit so I was disappointed, but luckily they...

Wow! Thanks for the news of this new album. I just listened to some of the audio samples at Jim's website and they sound amazing. Just beautiful. I can't wait to get this CD. Thank you! Chris :)

Thanks, David. Yes, illustrating is part of my profession. Here is more Mary Poppins art that I painted for holiday decorations outside my house. This was so much fun. Have a great day! Chris

Thanks for your descriptions of the show and it's effects, David. It sounds really great! I'm glad you like the drawing of Julie. Saying that it's something you would buy in one of the Parks is the nicest compliment you could give me. Thank you! :) Talking about the actors flying on wires...

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts on the new stage show. It sounds fascinating! Since Mary Poppins is my favorite film of all time as well, I'm anxious to experience the show. I'll probably have to wait until it makes it to Broadway though. From your descriptions the show does sound...

It is great to read all of your thoughts and tributes to this Legend. Thank you all. His work has touched our lives in such beautiful ways. He was an amazing talent. Chris

Thanks for posting the links to sources that carry the new CD, Tommy. I can't wait to hear it. Mary Poppins has always been my favorite film, so I'm excited to hear the songs done in an new way. I read that when she flies in on stage for the first time, cherry blossoms blow through the...

It's fun to try to figure out who sang what. David Tomlinson is very distinguishable in certain lines.

It's said that the intermission music was probably the Jolly Holiday/Feed the Birds finale portion of the Overture that was included in the original release of the soundtrack album in 1964. In any case, that portion of music is just great and has not been released since the original album. It's...

Lovely job, Randy! Thank you! The soundtrack has a very nice flow and has some gorgeous moments. Like so many, I find them to bring a tear to the eye. One of my favorites is during the "March Over the Rooftops" when Feed the Birds is heard at that top steeple as they look over the evening...

Yes, stop that drooling. Only neat little boys and girls will get to purchase the CD on Tuesday. ;) AND... on Tuesday it will be only one month until the 40th Anniversary DVD will be released!!! It's been a long time wishing for it and it's finally coming true! That will be so much fun. ;D...

Hey Folks Amazon has put up the sound clips for the new Soundtrack and they sound very exciting! It is especially fun to listen to the mixes on the additional tracks from the score. Love that Buena Vista Fanfare. Can't wait for the release. Here is the link to the sound clips...

Very much looking forward to this release. It sounds like it will be great. Thanks for giving us the preview, Randy. I too was hoping for "Intermission" music or additional orchestra sessions and music on disc 2, but I am grateful for the additional music tracks on the first disc.

Yes, I too found it strange that there is no promotion for it on the Disney Records site. They did include an ad for it in the recent Karaoke CD though:

Here is the link to the audio section of JulieAndrews.org that contains three musical performances from the Walt Disney World Gala Opening: http://www.julieandrews.org/media/audio.htm Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah is not the best, but her rendition of "World Full of Love / It's a Small World" (with...
