2. The Imagination Pavilion in Epcot

The Imagination Pavilion features two rides with soundtracks that can come off as annoying if you don’t fall into the targeted audience. Journey Into Imagination’s exit area features trilling tunes that are meant to be whimsical. However, the excessive use of the piccolo throughout the tracks kicks the tune up to a whole different level.

The other attraction in the Imagination Pavilion is the recently resurrected Captain EO. If you’d like to be submerged in 1985 again, you may enjoy the music that plays around the attraction. If, however, you’re not a fan of this decade, you’ll want to flee as fast as possible. (To be fair, if you’re not a big fan of the 80’s you probably want to skip this attraction completely and may never have to suffer the outdated area music.)

1. Animation Courtyard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Animation Courtyard is home to the Disney Junior Show, popular among the toddling set. The courtyard music features tunes from these Disney Junior shows, like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Sophia the First, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, and Doc McStuffins.

If your children have watched the Disney Channel for any length of time, you already know how tired these tunes can get over time. If you’re not looking for a throwback to your Saturday mornings while you’re on vacation, you won’t want to hang out in this area for too long.

While these soundtracks are some of the less appealing options in the park, Disney usually knows its mark pretty well, and each bit will have its place with the right audience. There’s probably even someone with a fondness for Diggin’ in Dinoland. The one thing these areas have in common is that the music is more noticeable than in some of the more soothing and subtle areas. Once you hear these tunes, you probably can’t stop noticing them, so if they sound like something you won’t enjoy, try not to pay too much attention as you pass through.
