4. Jungle Cruise Queue, Adventureland, Magic Kingdom Park
Jungle Cruise BoxesHandle with care...or not
The queue for the Jungle Cruise features a radio show hosted by Albert Awol. Music from the 1920’s and 1930’s is interspersed with spoken audio, much of which sets up the ride. The Jungle Cruise queue soundtrack is overwhelmingly popular, and for good reason. The Music includes such catchy songs as The Mooch by Duke Ellington, Here Comes My Ball and Chain by The Coon-Sanders Nighthawks, and With Plenty of Money and You by Dick Powell.
Listen closely while you’re in line and try to catch as much of Albert Awol’s narration as you can. There are plenty of humorous touches that you’ll miss if you don’t pay attention, and lots of good chuckles to enjoy if you do.
5. The Seas with Nemo and Friends, Epcot
The music around The Seas with Nemo and Friends is cool and soothing, sweeping you away with the lapping waves that surround you in this beautiful area. The music is similar to the soundtrack from the movie, but altered just enough to create a new environment. You’ll catch recognizable strains here and there, though, so you can’t help getting swept up in the theme.
Along with the gentle musical strains, you’ll also hear ocean sounds that offer an authentic touch. You can hear this track both in the queue and outside around the ride, though you’ll have to compete with the noise of the seagulls (Mine! Mine, mine!) to catch the gentle strains outside.
6. Space Mountain Entrance and Queue, Magic Kingdom Park
The techno music in the entrance area and queue of Space Mountain is a common crowd favorite. The soundtrack is distinctly futuristic. The queue area is so dark that you’ll find your ears straining to compensate, and the soundtrack making that much more of an impression because of it.
Though most people probably don’t pick out individual songs, this soundtrack does include a few. The tracks pay homage to previous attractions, with “Now is the Time” from the original Carousel of Progress” and the theme from “If You Had Wings,” which was the previous occupant of the space now occupied by Spaceranger Spin.
Comments
The Liberty Square music is totally wrong. A colonial village with music composed in the early 20th century. I find it jarring and out of place every time. It used to be one of my favorite music loops when it had more appropriate fife and drum based tunes.
