The Official Album: Disneyland/Walt Disney World


$84.95

Though it’s neither as comprehensive nor as elegantly presented as The Music of Disney: A Legacy in Song, this compilation is an enjoyable sampler of music from Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Naturally, the music’s good for reliving memories of the parks, but when listened to at home, the best selections reveal previously unnoticed complexity. The oldest recordings, like “The Tiki Tiki Room” and “Grim Grinning Ghosts” (from the Haunted Mansion ride), are seamless show tunes that grapple inventively with the limitations of analog and mono. And the Main Street Electrical Parade theme song is a freaked-out Moog marathon that must be heard to be believed. This disc offers one of the best uses yet for your CD player’s “program” function–pick out the songs like you’d pick out a ride, and never wait in line! –John Sanchez >>Read More

There are four different tours you can choose from but you do have to have a valid Disneyland ticket if you wish to go on one. It is also important to make a reservation for the tour you want to attend because they are popular and fill up fast.

The most popular of the tours is Disneyland’s Discover the Magic Tour. This tour is the most interactive for all family members as it gives all of you a chance to participate in a treasure hunt by finding clues with Disney characters. Not only do you get to spend time with your favorite characters but you have to outwit some of Disney’s bad guys and find the treasure before they do. It can be a truly memorable experience that includes lunch and a gift that is exclusive to those who take this tour.

There is a two ticket minimum for the Discover the Magic Tour which lasts around three hours. The first two tickets will cost $49 with additional tickets costing $39. This tour is suitable for kids 5 years old and up along with their parents.

Disney also offers a VIP tour which is designed with adults in mind. This is more of a tour for those who are interested in the history of the Disneyland theme parks, which many children would probably find rather boring. This tour must be reserved well in advance of your visit to the park and costs $75 per hour for groups of ten people or less.

If you are making your first trip to the Magic Kingdom then you should consider The Welcome to Disneyland Tour. This tour will teach you everything you need to know to get the most out of your Disney experience. You will get priority seating at one of the many stage shows, a condensed history of the park, and reserved seats at one of the parks many restaurants, two bonus FastPass tickets along with instructions on how to use them, and a lot of other goodies that will make your first Disney vacation one to remember. This is the least expensive tour at $25 per person and will last around two and a half hours.

The last tour to consider is called A Walk in Walt’s Footsteps which brings to life the vision that Walt Disney had for his theme parks. This tour is more suited to older children and adults who are interested in not only Walt’s legacy but also the history and trivia surrounding the park. It is also a chance to get a look at the exclusive Club 33. With a cost of $49 per participant and lasting more then 3 hours it is a truly unique look at Disneyland.

A Disneyland tour can add so much to your vacation memories. It is well worth the effort to ask about taking one of these tours when making your vacation plans because you never know what you may see or learn behind the scenes in the Magic Kingdom.
