Disney Music
From Disney Showtunes to
Amusement Park Theme Rides
Disney Music Captures the Hearts of All
or decades, movie goers have enjoyed the wonderful Disney
music that has accompanied the Disney flicks that have gone on to be major hits in the world of cinema. Disney music can be sing-able,
fun, tender, and often keeps your hands clapping and keep stomping.
In the old days, fans ran to the record shop to collect the latest 45 rpm single or 33 rpm album featuring the score of their favorite new Disney movie. In this day of new-fangled technology, those who love Disney music purchase high-quality CDs, watch music videos on the Disney site, or download favorite Disney tunes onto their IPod or MP3 player.
Today, Disney music comes from many different sources, not just the films that Disney releases on a regular basis. As a matter of fact, today's children and youth are more in tune with the hits that they hear on the Disney Channel, sung by the stars of the channel's TV shows and original made-for-TV movies. This Disney music often reflects the feelings of today's kids and is written in a style that they enjoy, from poignant ballads to foot-tapping songs with a rock beat.
Parents never need to worry about the content of Disney music. As in everything that Disney produces, there is nothing inappropriate in the songs that your child may download or listen to on the Disney site or on CDs they may purchase. There's never a worry about bad language or references to sex or other taboo subjects. Disney music is wholesome.
Kids especially love the Disneymania series of Disney music. These albums take classic tunes from Disney movies and give them a new twist. Rather than being performed by the original artists, the songs are usually performed by one of Disney's up-and-coming stars. There's also an extensive Karaoke series of Disney music with which kids and adults can sing along at parties or just for fun.
You can also find Disney music CDs that feature tunes from the rides and parades at Disney's theme parks. When you get home from your trip to Walt Disney World, you can keep singing those melodies that are lingering in your head - like It's a Small World or the Haunted Mansion's Grim Grinning Ghosts.
While much of the Disney music that comes from the Disney channel and website is geared towards older elementary and middle school children, Disney also produces music that is aimed towards the younger set. Pre-school children will enjoy soundtracks from their favorite Playhouse Disney shows like Rolie Polie Olie, The Wiggles, or Bear in the Big Blue House.
The tiniest listeners can be lulled to sleep with Disney-produced CDs featuring instrumental music meant to sooth infants and toddlers. This beautiful music is performed by top instrumental ensembles and makes great background music in the nursery just about any time of day, not just at nighttime when it's time to sleep.
For decades, Disney music has allowed listeners of all ages to enjoy truly quality music and experience the joy that music and singing brings to our lives. No doubt, they'll be doing this for many more years to come.
Ultimate Disney World Savings Guide
A few people have asked me about Beth Haworth's book "Ultimate Disney World Savings Guide", and were wondering what my take on it was. Given my reputation as a well known writer on the topic of Disney World, they thought I could give a fairly honest review.
So I clicked on over to Beth's website and snatched a copy for $30. I sat down and read it from "cover-to-cover" immediately.
Now keep in mind I already have extensive notes on saving money in Disney World, and I already have a pretty good list of the best hotels and restaurants. So I wasn't really sure what to expect.
But this book really impressed me.
It was well written, easy to read, and very comprehensive. The book was jam-packed with tips and inside information about places to go, things to see, the best attractions, restaurants, hotels... you name it, it's in there. It was also consistent with all of the things I already figured out from my own vacationing, and it also gave me some great new tips and tricks.
So now, I can finally give an honest recommendation for this book. I really loved it and it was worth every penny. The tips in the book allowed me to save about $550 dollars on my last weekend getaway.
You can grab a copy of Beth's Guide for only $30. It's available on her website and can be downloaded immediately. It's highly recommended for anyone who is interested in travelling to Disney. Even if you only on intend on going to Disney World once, it will not only save you time and money, it will also make your experience much more enjoyable.
Whatever you decide, be safe and most of all, enjoy your trip!
