Magic Kingdom Splash Mountain / Disneyland Critter Country Playlist

Greetings to all:

Does anyone have a playlist for Critter Country or the Magic Kingdom's Splash Mountain or both? Are they different?

I have all the tracks from the Forever kiosks, but I want to put them in the proper order on my CD. As always, any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
wedroy1923

DL's Critter Country Loop was definately shorter since it only contained the songs from Song of the South, while the WDW Splash Mountain Area contained several other "Country/folksy" selections. As for a track listing I would like this too.

Re:Magic Kingdom Splash Mountain / Disneyland Critter Country Playlist

To add to the confusion, most (if not all) of the tracks released as "Splash Mountain Area Music" on Walt Disney World Forever was actually from Disneyland's Splash Mountain. Since Splash Mountain is in Critter Country in Disneyland and near New Orleans Square, the music has more of a jazz/big band flare. Walt Disney World's Splash Mountain music is in the Frontierland style of banjos and harmonicas.

Here's to hoping we can atleast get a track listing.

Re:Magic Kingdom Splash Mountain / Disneyland Critter Country Playlist

Well, from what I remember, wasn't the "Song of the South" stuff played in both Disneyland and WDW's indoor/outdoor queue for both attractions? And then the country-western tracks were played around the outisde walkway area at WDW? I am probably wrong, since I haven't ridden WDW's in a while, so it's a little hazy...

Re: Magic Kingdom Splash Mountain / Disneyland Critter Country Playlist

So, in the years since the last post, has any information on the track list (including length) been uncovered?

I'm new to the site and can't seem to find an accurate DL Critter Country play list. I've got some original BGM loops that are bluegrass (fiddle, guitar, harmonica) but don't know all the names of the songs. I believe it can be heard in the queue area outside of Splash Mountain and around the Hungry Bear Restaurant. Any help would be appreciated.

We really do need some more Disneyland Loop Listers here don't we
Have you looked at www.disneymusicloops.com? It's not 100% accurate nor up to date but may have something.
They list the titles for CC Area music but I don't know if that's the selection you are looking for though. They are mostly Splash Mountain stuff from Disneyland Forever.

That's what C33 is for!

I normally don't collect DL audio, but I asked C33 to make me a recording of the Critter Country loop a few years ago. There is one song in the loop that was not released on DLF or WDWF. The Trout has some information on this loop in his excellent cover art [entry=221]blog posting[/entry].

The DL music does not use any of the bluegrass sounding music. I've said this before, but most of the WDWF tracks associated with Splash Mountain have never been used in WDW. Based on the short run time for the Critter Country loop, it seems most have not been used in DL either.

Interesting, so my wife and I must have been high on the smell of churros and the chlorine fumes wafting from Splash Mountain as we heard the bluegrass style music in DL Critter Country last year! (2009) Some of the songs in the loop are “Old McDonald”, “Shortenin’ Bread”, “She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain”, and the Splash Mountain songs (Zip, Laughin place, Sooner or later, Uncle Remus Said, etc). ALL OF THESE SONGS were in a BLUEGRASS style. Problem is, I can’t identify all of the songs. If anyone has information on this loop, please post. If it helps, we also heard this loop around the Hungry Bear. Thanks.

PS

We also heard this loop in the Splash Mountain queue area outside of the ride at WDW. It was the part of the line that wraps around the tree 50 times. Hope someone has some information on this!

I guess, unless the music loop was changed somewhat recently.

Some of the songs in the loop are “Old McDonald”, “Shortenin’ Bread”, “She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain”, and the Splash Mountain songs (Zip, Laughin place, Sooner or later, Uncle Remus Said, etc).

The Splash Mountain songs were used in the loop (a different style from WDW), but those first three songs are not in the DL loop I have. If you heard these songs, and based on your comment about bluegrass, then my guess is WDI installed the WDW version in DL at some point. I'll wait for C33 to confirm.

ALL OF THESE SONGS were in a BLUEGRASS style. Problem is, I can’t identify all of the songs. If anyone has information on this loop, please post. If it helps, we also heard this loop around the Hungry Bear. Thanks.

[entry=7]Here[/entry] is the WDW playlist. 10 of the 26 songs were not released on the Walt Disney World Forever system.

See above. I know the playlist is still accurate.

When I was in Disneyland last June, I am positive I heard the original Critter Country, non-bluegrass loop. However, I do remember hearing that sometimes the BGM switches at DLR, possibly as a joke. I'm not sure where I heard that, but there was something particular about the Disneyland Splash Mountain loop.

EDIT: On a different note, I just watched some new b-roll production footage WDWNews (the Walt Disney World publicity site) put out. When they zoomed over to the Splash Mountain sign, there was background music playing that was NOT the loop that was originally installed. Perhaps it was the Frontierland general BGM leaking over, but I can assure you it was not the music that typically plays. Go three-quarters of the way through the video, and turn your volume up.

 

[Madhatter]

Wow! That's interesting that most of these tracks mach up to what we heard in the area loops. I managed to score a copy of this for my personal use, and this information is very helpful. Thank you. I haven't broken up the songs from the loop recording, but the total time closely matches the times you provided. (+/- a few seconds). The Zip-a-dee-doo-dah version from this loop can be heard in the esplanade/entrance, if you stand in line long enough to hear it. Weird that the WDI folks may be playing around with the background tracks. Has anyone else experienced this oddity?

The Splash Mountain area music never plays at this location (it only plays in the queue/exit). What you hear is the general Frontierland loop, Home on the Range, starting around 1:33 to be exact.

That's a relief to hear, thanks for the clarification!

I hate walking by the entry plaza to magic kingdom and hearing disneyland's version of Zip a Dee Doo Dah playing.. because it gets me in the mood of disneyland heh. It's not nice to tease me like that =P. I love the sound of it more, it sounds much more disneyish and i like the cartoony feel to the music vs. the countryish version of magic kingdom's, but they changed the music and themed the attraction to frontierland which I give them plenty of credit for so they should take some pride to that and actually play their version in the main entrance =P.

I asked a friend of mine who just visited Disneyland this week to report to me on the music. I asked her to tell me if she heard banjo/harmonica music or instrumental/cartoony music. She said the music was turned down low so they really didn't hear much, but added that she assumed it was the banjo music. Make of this what you will, but keep in mind that this person sent me a picture of the drained Rivers of America waterway and asked if they were building a monorail there.

I had a few people tell me the music is the same as what was played before.
