2.0 out of 5 stars False advertising in the title, April 19, 2004

By	Beth Haney (Alabama) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this C.D because I wanted "Music from the Park" not remakes of the true music that is in Walt Disney World. I was very disapointed when I started listening to the songs. A couple of years later I found the true music from the park called "Where magic lives, The official album from Walt Disney World". I bought it at Downtown Disney in Orlando but I'm not sure if it's available other places outside the park. The closest album available for sale here on amazon.com is "Walt Disney World Resort in Florida". It has almost all of the songs my CD has plus a few more. If you love the true music from the park I'd recommend one of these other CD's.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some Great Cuts, August 11, 2004

By	Greg (Washington DC) - See all my reviews

If you want the actual music used in the rides and attractions, buy one of the official WDW albums. These are Disney song covers by a variety of artists. Etta James makes "It's a Small World" meaningful and beautiful, Tim Curry has his tongue planted firmly in cheek in "The Ballad of Davy Crockett," and Take 6's lush accapella harmonies are outstanding on "When You Wish Upon a Star." As another reviewer said, David Benoit's "Spectromagic Medley" shimmers like the parade itself. Linda Rondstadt and Olivia Newton-John sing pretty straight-forward versions of familiar tunes, and Brian McKnight's sentimental "Remember the Magic," used in Disney World advertising, might bring a tear to your eye.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great interpretatons in a listenable contemporary style!, April 6, 1999

By A Customer

Let's keep it short & sweet. This is a fantastic sounding collection of the park tunes. I believe those who discount the recording are not in touch with the intent of the artists. The purpose of the record is to provide an artist's interpretation of a song, not to reproduce it exactly as you remember it. This is a fantastic way for us theme park buffs to keep the magic alive during the times we can't be there to enjoy it first hand, and on that level, it succeeds. Standout cut for me is David Benoit's "Spectromagic Medley"-it shimmers just like the parade! My advice is-enjoy the spirit of the album without being concerned that the artist didn't hit every note exactly like the original.
