Disney Trip Mix

[boiledpeanut]

I need help coming up with a mix for my family's trip. I do not want Disney songs. I have all those already! But what I am looking for is feel good happy music to get us pumped up and ready for family vacation....
example is I am going to get that new song "Best Day of My Life". Just makes me happy. What picks do y'all have?

How about Good Life by OneRepublic? That was actually even used in a Disney Commercial, Roar by Katie Perry, Demons by Imagine Dragons. Those are some that I can think of. If you wanna kick it Old School you could get some Beach Boys, or KoKomo.

Walking on the Sunshine always makes me think Disney for some reason, but there is still one better.....
Look up the Wolfs Dance Orlando on youtube...I promise that every time you hear "Life is a Highway" by Rascal Flats you will be ready to pack up and head to Disney.

It's Gonna Be a Good Day by The Click Five, 2005.

How about "Everything is Awesome" from the Lego Movie?

500 miles by the Proclaimers (used in Shrek, but also appropriate if you are travelling a long way)

We always include "Magic" by the cars. There are a few newer "Magic" songs that the kids insist on as well. How about "Don't Worry be Happy". And "Beautiful Day" by U2 - . Have fun! We have to drive 9 hours to the airport so this is a really important aspect of trip planning for us!

Hm, OK, I was thinking a little older. I'll have to revise my list.

One thing I can think of is Bowling For Soup, they have some kid friendly edits that have been played on Disney Radio, they're nice and bouncy.

I have to second Walking on Sunshine (Katrina and the Waves), and add Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer (because it is impossible NOT to sing along, which gets everyone fired up). Also, Vacation by the Go-Gos would seem appropriate.

Get Lucky by Daft Punk

How about "Everything is Awesome" from the Lego Movie?

Second!
