News Round Up 2019

This song was part of the Mickey birthday celebration and is in the new WDW commercial. I wouldn’t consider this rap. It’s more of a Pop song to me. I actually really like the song and added it to my Apple Music already.

As a music teacher I would VERY technically call this rap but it definitely feels more “Pop.” I’m not in love with the song but I like it a lot more than Happily Ever After.

 

[danikoski]

Maybe this will grow on me, but I do not like rap at all.

So no Hamilton

Back kind of on topic, there are days I miss the "classic" Disney songs, especially in the theme park. I love Carousel of Progress and Haunted Mansion or even Pirates. There's this vibe to them that basically yells Disney. In thinking about it, Soarin is probably the closest "new" ride to come to that feeling (although I like the old Soarin soundtrack better). I wish they'd do more like that... although not sure any of them would make good dance party songs

I hope GotG coaster dips into some of the classic Disney Park music, especially from some of the long gone rides. It'd be awesome to hear Star Lord talking about his memories of Epcot while in queue, and have "exhibits" of the old attractions with their music.

I am a rare one that doesn't care for Hamilton at all. I did like Lin-Manuel Miranda in Mary Poppins Returns though.

I'll admit that the song has grown on me throughout the day since I've listened to it a few times. I'll look forward to hearing it inside Disneyland Park and see what they do with it.

Ahhh I need this! I would gladly trade anyone the Goofy Holiday magnet + the Mickey Food/Wine Magnet for one Figment! I’m 100% serious.

I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a Hamburger today!

I really do think it has the potential to fit really well with a fireworks and lighting effects show - it just has a good energy to it. In some ways it reminds me of "When will I see you again" that they use with Paint the Night where, yeah, not "classic Disney" but has a fun energy that fits with and elevates the performance it is part of

There is an element of Disney Park songs fitting with the times they are created int. Classic EPCOT has some of my favorite songs but things like "Listen to the Land" are also a product of their time - and when you have music that is a product of it's time, you get some that eventually become classics, but you will get some misses too

I really hope they play into the whole "Peter Quill visited EPCOT as a kid" storyline and have a lot of references to classic EPCOT in it ... at a minimum I want to hear something from Rocket like "Where the heck is Horizons!!!!"

There’s an AP magnet traders Facebook group...I’ve had a couple of successful trades there. I think this link should work: https://m.facebook.com/groups/2162961513939422?ref=share

GotG heavily featured 80s alternative pop on casette. I think it's extremely likely that the coaster will too....

He certainly earned it. Record earnings, stock price went up considerably.

And starts 3 days after I leave...

I feel you. Got concert tickets for this weekend in orlando as a Christmas gift for my husband and figured we could make a weekend out of it with our APs. We were both disappointed or didnt overlap with the arts festival! And I want a magnet

Guess it’s easy to do that by raising prices and cutting service.

Or even be more subtle - like having the host of the new ride be and rocket notices she leaves her password out and says “heh, stupid Judy”

As someone who has his music education degree, I thought this was rap when I first heard it with pop music going on in the background. So, I understand what you are saying very much. Also, thank you for being a music teacher!

Maybe. However Disney seems more apt to avoid having to pay royalties if they don’t have to.

Man raised money to send Marine families to Disney. He pocketed most of it, feds say

A charity raised funds to send Marines and their families to Disney theme parks, but its founder John Simpson pocketed most of the money for himself, according to a federal indictment filed this week in South Carolina.

Simpson raised about $481,000 for the charity, but spent only about $90,000 of that actually helping Marines, the feds charge. The other $391,000 went to enriching himself, paying off his mortgage and bills, and for his then-wife’s “adult novelty business, Red Room Toys,” according to court filings.

Sherri Lydon, the U.S. Attorney in Charleston, South Carolina, accuses Simpson of lying about his military career to raise money. The indictment states he “falsely represented himself as a retired career marine with as much as 20 years of service, a retired Master Sergeant, a former Drill Instructor, and a Recon Marine.”

If the Mickey song is the same one they have been playing at Disneyland Paris as part of the parade since October last year, it does sound better in the park I think and it is a goo song to clap along too. I remember seeing quite a few people bopping to it whilst waiting for the rest of the parade
