It's easy to see why this is one of the bestselling sing-alongs from Disney: it plays like the ultimate family-vacation home movie. Instead of fleeting glimpses of your favorite characters on your home videos of Disneyland, this 27-minute episode showcases Mickey, Goofy, Pluto, and their friends hanging out with kids inside the Magic Kingdom singing (well, their lips don't move) such popular songs as " Zip a Dee Do Dah," "It's a Small World," and "Step in Time" with the lyrics appearing on screen for youngsters. The one drawback is the video was shot in 1990, so none of the newer rides are shown, and worse yet, some older rides seen aren't around anymore ("Mom, why didn't we go on the submarine?"). Perhaps that isn't a drawback since, despite the age, and some truly unknown songs ("Making Memories"), the program continues to be popular. --Doug Thomas

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for ALL ages! (seriously), August 3, 2003

By	Tom Reagan (Bay Area, CA USA) - See all my reviews

My 2+ year old has loved this video since he was 9 months old, and it's STILL his favorite kids' (non-movie) video!

We bought a couple other Sing-A-Longs after this (Campout at Walt Disney World, and the Disneyland: Happy Haunting one), and they don't compare to this one. Those videos star cheesy kids who "act" for the camera and try to be cute. The kids in this video are really there to simply help create the environment, even though you see the same group of kids throughout the video.

Plus, this video concentrates more on the characters and the attractions, than the kids (during the Haunted Mansion song, it stars only the Villians and you practically ride the entire ride!). Which makes it fun for adults and fans of Disneyland - it plays like a Disneyland home video! Also, this was filmed around 1989-1990, just after Splash Mountain opened. Which means you get to see several attractions and restaurants that are no longer there: the Rocket Jets, People Mover, and Submarine - all in pre-1998 Tomorrowland.

My wife and I agree that the songs are also pretty good, even the original ones ("Making Memories" and "Walking Right Down the Middle of Main Street, USA" come to mind).

If you're a fan of Disneyland and Disneyland videos (especially to get you in the mood before a vacation there), this is a must-own.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 3 yr old loves this video, so do I!, February 13, 2002

By	"esmommy" (Boulder City, NV United States) - See all my reviews

My daughter loves this movie. She sings and dances to all the songs. The video is the Disney characters at Disneyland with some kids (not cartoon). They go on rides and just play thru disneyland. The songs are happy songs and you cant help but feel happy when you hear them. There is one "scary song" but when you see donald ducks tail sticking out the back of the sheet, because he's pretending to be a ghost, you cant help but to laugh (my 3 yr old cracks up every time). I just bought another sing along songs because she loves this one so much. The video has: Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, Donald, Roger Rabbit, Pooh, Eyeore, Tigger, Mary Poppins, Chip N Dale, Alice in Wonderland and the Rabbit, and more I just cant think. This movie was well worth buying.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have Before a Trip to Disneyland, June 16, 2000

By A Customer

This sing-a-long video is a "must have" if you are planning a trip to Disneyland with small children. Disney characters join with children in a variety of songs and dances as they tour the theme park.

Small children (as young as one year old) enjoy watching the characters and kids in the video. They also enjoy the music.

My daughter watched this video several times before we visited Disneyland. When we arrived, she was excited when she saw the characters. She waved and waved as the characters were familiar to her.

The only downside is that the video is several years old. Some of the attractions are no longer in the theme park. Disney should really make an updated version of this video.
