Sundays are for Disney:

This is definitely a too many to name question for me. My all-time favorite is "Part of Your World". It probably hits a little too close to home for a guy in my mid-30's. I'm getting better at doing a passable impersonation of a normal human being though.

I also love "Belle" and "Gaston" from the animated Beauty and the Beast (every song from the animated version is better than the live action film). On the flip side, I like the Celine and Peabo version of "Beauty and the Beast" and the Michael Bolton version of "Go The Distance". I really love virtually the whole soundtrack of Tarzan but, specifically, "You'll Be In My Heart". Like I said, too many to name. There are so many more I'd like to list but I'm going to stop before I list the entire Disney songbook.

Glad to see the mention for "Why Should I Worry" from Oliver & Company. That was the first Disney movie I saw in the theater and that song, if not the entire soundtrack and movie, is really underrated.

I have a few songs that I don't particularly like or would call overrated, I guess, but music is too subjective to mention them. (Although the opinions bashing "Let It Go" were objectively bad)

I'm not in the parks enough to know all of the musical cues or really remember soundtracks for specific rides or areas. I do know that part of the magic of the parks for me is walking around and suddenly registering a new version of a familiar song. I'm honestly not convinced I'm completely in control of my own faculties in Disney Parks and that the soundtrack doesn't have me in some type of semi-conscious trance (that implores me to spend all the money and leads to such in the moment thoughts as "Dinoland, USA isn't that bad").

The Tarzan and Hercules soundtracks are criminally underrated.

Sorry if this has been discussed before- planning to come for our first Disney half-marathon in Jan. There will be 5 of us (2 adults and 3 teens). Have a Poly studio booked for Fri & Sat nights. Was hoping to add either Thu or Sun night but both are booked already. DD really wants to stay at BCV, and with five of us a 2bd would be nice. How does the marathon transportation at BCV compare to Poly (obviously Poly gives us the monorail option)?

You just take a bus vs. a monorail. I have stayed at both BC and a monorail resort (BLT) for marathon weekend.

Having stayed at the BCVs for the last 8 years the bus transportation has been fine. There will be one or two hiccups here and there for the expo or race transportation but it's usually minor in nature and quickly circumvented [ie. bus driver getting lost or missing a turn]. The other advantage of staying at the BCVs is that you have prime real estate for spectating the 10K at mile 5 and the full marathon at mile 24.5!

SAFD: Colors of the Wind from Pocahontas

 

[ChipNDale86]

If I had to pick one song it'd be "I've Got A Dream" from Tangled. It's so fun & catchy, I could listen to it over and over again.

I can also easily name a least favorite: "The Time of Your Life" from A Bug's Life by Randy Newman. Just an awful song.

 

[SarahDisney]

Look at this stuff
Isnt it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete.
Wouldn't you think I'm a girl, a girl who has ... everything.

Honorable mentions are "Do You Want to Build a Snowman" and "Beauty and the Beast"

Least favorite is anything from Tarzan. Not a Phil Collins fan.

Honorable Mentions:

We have similar tastes!
My two favorites are “This is Halloween” and “When Can I See You Again.”

Favorite soundtrack as a whole is Kingdom Hearts, but that has quite a bit of Final Fantasy influence.

Yes! Another underrated soundtrack.

Thanks! I think DH is convinced that we'll be ok at BCV. As convenient as the Poly is, we just stayed there in Dec and have never stayed at BCV. Plus DD's friend is coming with us, so having a 2bd instead of studio will be much more comfortable!

Counter-blocked. Phil Collins outside of early Genesis (Abacab, Home by the Sea era) is an abomination.
