Now that the song is firmly implanted in your brain (you're welcome!), here is a fascinating fact about the attraction. Before the Sherman Brothers came up with this melody, they initially proposed that the music accompanying the ride be a blending of several National Anthems. I personally can't imagine this ride without it's current theme song! Today's trivia is courtesy of Susan Veness's great book, "The Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World Trivia". Oh, and courtesy of my hubby, who bought me the book as a "just because" gift! :)
As always, thanks to +Magical Mouse Schoolhouse, +Heidi's Head, +My Dreams of Disney, and +Disney Babies Blog for co-hosting the fun!
Okay, now I want to know what that song would have sounded like.
ReplyDeleteI think it would definitely have been interesting! I wonder if it's in the archives somewhere?
DeleteGreat trivia! That is one of my favorite books! And of course, I love that song!
ReplyDeleteI know, it's a classic!!! We love everything about the ride!
DeleteMy husband always complains about the ride because the song sticks with you forever, but I LOVE IT! I'm glad that the Shermans wrote the song. The other option would have been rather boring, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine this ride without the song! I am SO glad they didn't go the original route! :)
