Re:A Musical History of Disneyland ? The Facts
Wow, I was completely BLOWN AWAY reading this track listing!
Basically it's everything I could have hoped for, presented in the exact way I would have done so - the music arranged by "land" as if you are taking a tour of the park!
Normally I like chronological sequencing such as in a film soundtrack or compilation (like 75 Years), but in this case I feel that presenting the material geographically by land is definately the best way to make it feel like you are taking a tour of the park!
This is done EXACTLY how I was hoping it would be!!!
And the best thing is, this Disneyland that we'll be touring will be the IDEAL Disneyland, the DL of my dreams, in which classic attractions that have been removed are STILL THERE and can be experienced on the same visit as the ones that replaced them!
Critter Country will have both CBJ AND Pooh!
Tomorrowland will have ATIS AND Star Tours, Carousel of Progress AND America Sings, etc.!!!
As a big fan of the AA musical revues, I am extremely happy that every AA musical revue in the history of DL will be included as complete soundtracks - Tiki Room, America Sings, and ALL THREE CBJ shows. It almost seems too good to be true!
And the selection from Fantasyland (my favorite "land") is the best that's ever been available - there is carousel music and finally most of the dark rides will be making an appearance. And of course, the IASW ride through!
Almost every attraction is included, even sounds from things like the Horse Drawn Carriages and Autopia, so those attractions can be represented as what you would experience on a day at Disneyland!
And a nice taste of background music and the performing groups is included, which will provide context and a sense of location...
Then, when your day and night at the park appears to be over after the fireworks, we are treated to an "encore" of sorts as apparently the park operations have been extended past the original closing time and we are magically transported to Christmas season and CBJ, IASW, and HM for the Holidays!
And then to cap off a perfect evening at the park, MSEP and Fantasmic!
I cannot wait to get this! If will be the perfect thing to listen to on an upcoming planned WDW trip, as it will last for almost the complete drive!!!
Thanks, Randy, and thanks also for making it available via mail order
