This is great but get the 2CD issue at the park, June 8, 2005

After just returning from Disneyland with the 2-disc set of "Happiest Homecoming on Earth-the Official Album of the Disneyland Resort" I can tell you that this 1-disc set is good if you just want a sampling but the 2-disc set is even better. If you are really into having a good set of Disneyland songs from rides and attractions and you can't get to Disneyland to buy the 2-disc set, try the 6-disc set "A Musical History of Disneyland BOX ORIGINAL" here at Amazon.com which also comes with a book.

Ever few years, Disney releases a new official album for the park attraction songs, and of course the 50th anniversary of Disneyland was the perfect time for a new one in 2005 and 2006. Disney never misses the chance for one celebration or another and this one was celebrated at all the Disney parks around the globe. But for that milestone anniversary of the first park it needed to be better than usual, and also represent the history of the park. After all, times change and some shows and attractions are phased out and changed, but fans remember the old ones fondly even if they are gone. For those that have never owned one of these Disney attraction CD's, these are the songs and sounds from the actual attractions, rides, shows, parades, and firework displays at the park. They usually excerpt an abbreviated part of the show or favorite song on these CD's, and sometimes they add in a few sound effects from the attraction. There are many new tracks on this release that were not on...

This is a great CD but you can get this in a 2CD set with more stuff at the park. I do not know why they only released the 1st CD but the 2nd CD is just as good and should be released also. You can only get it at the Disney Resort--so I hope they will get wise and release the 2CD set ASAP--because you need to get the whole experience-not only 50%. Attention DISNEY!!!!!!
