Favorite parade theme song

Post by pap64 »

As the title states, post here your favorite Disney theme park parade theme song. I admit I've never been to any of the parks, but I have seen the parades on You Tube, so I can name a few songs.

Right now my current favorite is "Just like we dreamed it" from the "Once upon a dream" parade in Disneyland Paris. I heard the song on a "Cats don't dance" AMV and liked it a lot. I then saw the parade and thought it was really awesome. Now I have the song in my head like crazy!

My other favorite is the "Welcome to our family" song from the "Parade of dreams" at Disneyland. I like the whole soundtrack, but the theme song is clearly the best.

So park hoppers, start posting!

My favorite parade song has to be "On this Magic Night" from the Spectromagic Parade in WDW.

Oh I love that one!!! I saw spectromagic when I was at the Magic Kingdom a few years ago! It's so magical!!! I actually like it better than the legendary "Main Street Electrical Parade" (which has a weird yet catchy theme song itself)

I also love "Christmas Fantasy" from Disneyland in California's Christmas parade of the same name.

And Boo-To-You from Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is a cool theme too!

there are so many!!!! i think that the parade songs must be so hard to write, they have to play for 20 minutes as the parade passes without getting on the audience's nerves, it must be difficult to find the right tune to fit the theme too!

I love this one! I first saw/heard it on the Disneyland Fun video and I had it memorized. Once I tried singing it on Main Street and my sister walked away from me like she didn't know me...
But now the Main Street trolley people come out and sing this song in the Welcome Medley! It's so awesome! :)

I too like "On This Magic Night" from Spectromagic. The song is like "A Whole New World" in that the music just seems to fly.

I have that exact same video and I used to watch that song over and over!!!!! I can't believe anyone else remembers it!!! It used to have Mary Poppins and Bert, the Penguins from Jolly Holiday and a few other characters including Alice and the White Rabbit dancing round a piano played by Mickey!!! I loved it!! I couldn't believe it when I went to Florida last year and they actually had performers singing and dancing to it on Main Street!! It really was a childhood memory come to life!!!

I have the audio for that song from that movie on itunes (you can't download it off the internet anymore), and I still have the VHS. My favourite of the Sing Along Songs, but that tune was first used in a show called Disney World is Your World in 1981 (I think).

For me, it's probably a tie between the themes for SpectroMagic and the Mainstreet Electrical Parade.

Not sure of the official name but the song that plays during the finale of the Dreams Come True parade in MK. I happened to be walking in from Tomorrowland and I caught the end of the song and have been humming it ever since. I need to stick around for the entire parade one of these days.
