Walt Disney once said that there is a terrific power to music and that could not be more true when it comes to the way music is used at Disney parks throughout the world.  This week, we are counting down our favorite music cues found at the Parks.  In a previous episode, we discussed our favorite Disney Park songs, but this time, we are gathering up our favorite "word-less" music cues!  Whether our choices are musical scores found inside of attractions or background music played softly in a land's background, each cue is special to us in our own way.

So we invite you, (if you dare), to reminisce with us as we discuss and countdown our Top 5 Music Cues found at Disney Parks!

What are you favorite music cues found at the parks?   Let us know in the comments below!

This week, as a nod to President's Day, we deep-dive into the history of Walt Disney's affinity for the highest office in the land - the president of the United States - and his desire to memorialize, in his parks, the men that have held that office for all the world to see!

Join us, won't you,  as we journey through the legacy of presidential visits to the parks before, during, and after their stints as president! We'll then cover the history of some of the most technologically advanced attractions dedicated to the office and its legacy - Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, The Hall of Presidents, and The American Adventure!

Watch along as President Ronald Reagan visits EPCOT for his 1985 inauguration speech here:

Marvel at this speech President Barack Obama gave at Walt Disney World in 2012 here:

On this week's episode, we are covering the 60th Anniversary of the Disneyland Monorail as well as other Disney Parks Monorails around the world. Originating from Walt Disney's original Magic Kingdom of Disneyland on the West Coast are the historic Alweg (Mark I, II, and III) and Disneyland Mark V and VII Monorail Systems. We will also cover Disney World's Mark IV and VI Monorail Systems. 

We'll round out the discussion with some Tokyo Disney's Monorail System discussion, which captures the spirit of the original Monorail systems built in the western hemisphere during the middle to late part of last century. We are entering the end of the show notes where in the comments section below, you can let us know your favorite memories of the Monorail from the past 60 years.

This week's episode is a bit of a new idea. We usually talk about things we know, love, and have done dozens, if not hundreds or thousands, of times. This week we come clean on the things we have never done in the parks!

Have you experienced every attraction at your favorite Disney Park? What about those attractions you never got around to and have now made their way to Yesterland? Well those are exactly the kinds of things we discuss this week!

Here's a bonus photo-gallery of the inside of Stage 12's shuttered Hollywood & Dine building during the 2010 Food & Wine festival when it was converted to the Festival Showplace's "The Art of Flavor." I wish they'd bring back this aspect of the Food & Wine festival.

We also go on to discuss this bizarre music video from the 1980s:

Be sure to watch the Mario Andretti Rocket Rods video here:

And finally, the blog I had found a couple years ago with photos of Chip & Dale's Acorn Crawl seems to have vanished BUT I did find this "Day at Disneyland" video with the best footage I have ever seen of this shuttered attraction:

Which of the attractions listed on this week's episode were most surprising to you? Which attractions that we have mentioned on past episodes have you yet to experience? Let us know in the comments below!

Happy new year from all of us here at Remain Seated, Please! As the year starts fresh, we thought we'd not only look ahead to what 2019 holds for Disney Parks, but back at some of our favorite attractions which celebrate some landmark anniversaries this year!

A slight correction to what David mentioned on the podcast: Disneyland hosted a 60-hour event for the opening of Star Tours! Thanks to the blog Sincerely Michaelyn for clarifying that for this little fact check!

Another thanks to Passport2Dreams for doing some amazing research into the history of music in Tomorrowland. Definitely worth a read and we used some of his music compilation of the original loop in the background of this episode.

Some other show notes to point out are the newly released Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge video Disney Parks put out over the holiday that clarifies some of the info we talk about regarding the new land:

Also, those Lion King ears can be seen here:

And finally, the photo of the new parking structure addition information that David read aloud:

It's the most wonderful time -- at the parks! Yes, we're back with a little history lesson, but this time we're covering the history of the holidays at the Disneyland Resort. When did Candlelight start? How many parades have there been? Which attractions got previews during the Christmas Day Parade on  ABC? And more!

Listen along as we delve into the histories of such modern classics as "It's a Small World Holiday," "¡Viva Navidad!," as well as cover some of the newer traditions that can be found at the resort today!

We also highlight some festive holiday videos from the parks which you can revisit right here:

1993: Regis previews the BRAND NEW Twilight Zone Tower of Terror!

2002: Regis just loves Hilary Duff's performance!

2003: George Lopez previews the BRAND NEW Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney's California Adventure!

The fabulous reindeer at Walt Disney World's Very Merry Christmas Party!

Disneyland. What did you just think of just now? Was it a voice? Was it a character in an attraction? This idea of "our favorite characters at Disney Parks" is what we deep-dive into this week on Remain Seated, Please!

These are not the characters you can go up and meet, take photos with, or get autographs from. No, these are the very special characters that are in the parks and attractions! Not Mickey Mouse as much as, say, Buzz Lightyear in Buzz Lightyear's Astroblasters or The Hitchhiking ghosts from The Haunted Mansion. Still not sure what we mean? Take a listen to the episode and find out for yourself!

Below you'll find the original video of David and Suzi meeting the dragon under the Paris castle as well as a photo of Officer Zzyxx, Tokyo's counterpart to Sonny Eclipse.

We cover just about every Disney parks in this episode so there's definitely something for everyone to enjoy in this new episode of Remain Seated, Please!
