Disney Park Music

[mpb2000]

I recently found a couple of old cassettes of Disney park music (MK and Epcot) from Disney World trips from when I was a kid, late 80s, early 90s. They're copies of the originals (I remember my dad making copies because I played them so much he was worried I would wear them out) so I can’t ID them. This got me thinking more broadly: is there a website that is essentially a list/database of Disney park records, cassettes, CDs, etc. or maybe more generally, Disney park music (rides, shows, background music)? I’m hoping to find a complete list of park music over the years. I know you can stream a lot of that now, and I love that people have put up loops of background music on YouTube, but I haven’t seen any lists that are all-inclusive. Maybe no one has gone to the trouble of coming up with this, but when it comes to Disney, it seems like someone has done everything.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Here's the ones I enjoy. Sorcerer Radio (my favorite), Dparkradio, live365/wdwntunes and Pandora/The Sherman Brothers station.

I listen Dpark radio a lot and also the same 16 YouTube music loops of background music. I have found some of the song titles so now I have a few playlists on my phone

I wish they still sold Disney Music in the parks.
I still listen to the Candlelight Processional for road trips, etc.

I think I read that as you’re trying to find the song lists to find out what tapes they are?

I found a description on Amazon of:

The Official Album of Disneyland/Walt Disney World (CASSETTE)

“Songs featured on this Cassette Tape are: Main Street Electrical Parade, Yo Ho A Pirate's Life For Me, The Droid Rooms, The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room, Minnie's Yoo Hoo, Maple Leaf Rag, The Great Outdoors, Hungry As A Bear, The Mickey Mouse Club March, It's A Small World, Grim Grinning Ghosts, Swanee River, Laughin' Place, Zip A Dee Doo Dah, Magic Journeys, When You Wish Upon A Star. Rare release because many of these attractions no longer exist.”

Do you think that could be one of them?

or maybe some songs were used off of these late 70’s ones...




This website looks like it might be helpful.

I appreciate the streaming recommendations, as that’s not something I’ve jumped into for Disney parks music. What I was really looking for was a site with a list of all the records, cassettes, CDs, etc. that Disney has released containing music from the parks. While I would like to identify the tapes I have, that’s secondary. I really want that list so I can expand my personal collection through used CDs. Streaming is great for certain things, but I still buy CDs and rip them when it’s something I know I want to keep. And when you’re talking about Disney, you never know when something will go away. I’m assuming those streaming channels don’t have lists of their entire playlists, which could potentially be a good place to start. That Disney fandom page has a good list. The only issue would be potentially not knowing what’s missing.

The track listing on that cassette is definitely close to one of the tapes I found. I will have to sit down with a cassette player and fast forward through it to see if it’s a match. Man, CDs were such a great step up from cassettes.

As an aside, where do people on YouTube get the background park music? Has it been released on CDs over the years?
