A great Disney ride song does not just play in the background, it grabs your brain and refuses to leave. We’re sipping a Ginger Pear Snap inspired by Liberty Tree Tavern and doing something we’ve wanted to do for a while: ranking our favorite Disney ride music from worst to first, with plenty of friendly arguing along the way.

We get into what makes theme park music powerful, whether you rank tracks by how “iconic” they are or by how they feel when you’re actually on the attraction. That takes us through everything from queue and exit music to full ride soundtracks and medleys. We talk Figment and One Little Spark, the pull of Pirates of the Caribbean, why Grim Grinning Ghosts can be top tier even if Haunted Mansion is not your personal must do, and how modern Disney music like Nothing Can Stop Us Now already feels like a classic earworm.

We also hit Guardians of the Galaxy from both angles, since a rotating playlist means the ride is the experience and the song at the same time. You’ll hear why “I Want You Back” on Mission Breakout works so well, why “Disco Inferno” on Cosmic Rewind is a perfect synced moment, and how nostalgia heavy staples like Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow and the Enchanted Tiki Room keep earning replay after replay. When we wrap, we share a few listener favorites and ask for more because everyone’s list tells a different Disney story.

Subscribe for more Disney parks talk, share this with a friend who always hums ride songs, and leave us a review. What are your top five Disney attraction songs right now?

Drink Intro And Show Opener<br>

SPEAKER_01

Today we're talking writing show music and ranking our favorites while having a ginger pear snap. Welcome to Cheers to Ears. We're gonna click our drinks, we're gonna coast our eats, we're gonna talk to our tears to it. Okay. Okay, that was our most takes ever before we got to this point. And you didn't say where the drink was from. No, I usually I don't usually say that until now.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01

So that's why I forgot I don't do that. And then I looked up and saw the different drink on the page, and I messed up 10 times. That was funny. April Fools.

SPEAKER_00

You can't practice in saying Liberty Tree Tavern. Which is where this drink is from. Why didn't you tell us about it?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, from it's from Liberty Tree Tavern. See, I said it wrong again. I can't say that whole word. Liberty. Give me Liberty. Tree and a tavern. It's a so we're having a ginger pear snap today, and it's made with Tito's, handmade vodka, Saint Germain Elderflower Liqueur, Domain de Cantong Ginger Liqueur, Pear Nectar, and Lemon Ju. And this sold for the higher price than we've had for a while of$17.50. Okay. Which is still Disney average. Yeah, but we've had lower prices. We've had some lower drinks.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Yak and Yeti and some shades of green going on there.

SPEAKER_01

So tell us how we made it, and we'll tell we're$17.50.

SPEAKER_00

An ounce and a half of vodka. And I I actually was able to use everything except for the Saint Germain, but ounce and a half of vodka, half ounce of elderflower liqueur, half ounce of ginger liqueur, two ounces of pear nectar. If you're having trouble finding pear nectar, just buy a can of pears and pour the juice into the into the drink. And then yeah, it works. And then three quarters of an ounce of lemon juice. And I really like it. This is a good one. And I'm not a fan of ginger. And which is funny because we've had some mules lately. We've had some really bad ginger drinks or drinks with ginger in them. And then we've had some that are just really good. This being one of the really good ones. And it does taste like a ginger snap cookie. It does. Yeah, that's a good thing. Yeah, this is a good one. We garnished with a slice of the pear, but the ginger comes through, the lemons coming through, the elder flower. It's got a little bit of a real hint of a floral note.

SPEAKER_01

Right. This is one. This is one. If you didn't, if you like ginger, you like pear, rewind, listen to how what Aaron explained, how he made this, and make this at home. This is a good one. This is one you should try. Deaf foon. And it's at Liberty Tree Tavern. See, I cannot set up those two words together. Yeah. And it that's a great restaurant.

SPEAKER_00

It is. I've eaten there. Now, no, Eli couldn't make it in. He wanted to when he went on Thanksgiving, but it was full. But I've eaten there. You're going to have a Thanksgiving feast. Very good food. It's one of those where I recommend going two in the afternoon. Small snack in the morning. You're going to eat a ton of food when you're there. And then you're not eating for the rest of the day, except for maybe a small snack later in the evening. Right. But I took Leah there. Very good food. Did not have a drink, but I think we and we've only done a couple. We did the cranberry sipper on an episode a long time ago.

SPEAKER_01

I think a gold rush sounds pretty good, though. We should try that sometime. Huh. It's a bourbon lemon juice and honey with crystallized ginger. Oh. That sounds good.

SPEAKER_00

That yeah, that could be. Kind of mellow out the whiskey there, but this is a good one. I really like this one.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's a good idea for episode like Americana. Disney and like the old Americana stuff. Oh, yeah. Back in those back in the early days of Disney. And then with a gold rush. With a gold rush. Disney Americana. Yeah, we'll talk about it. Yeah. See, this is you're just getting some of those creative behind the scenes. How we do this. Yeah. It's crazy.

Why Ride Music Hits So Hard<br>

SPEAKER_00

Yes. So I picked this drink because it was close to the Haunted Mansion. Correct. We're not doing a Haunted Mansion episode, but we're ranking ride music, and that was the closest ride to I could find to a place that sold alcohol that I wanted to try. That we hadn't had one in a while.

SPEAKER_01

And an iconic Disney song.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. And so we got 15 apiece. Right. And we're just going to go worst the first. Yeah. Although it was hard. There's a few that are actually left out of mind that I probably should have made it. Three caballeros. That was one of them that I really liked. That didn't make the cut. But yeah. Let's get going. Okay. Okay. You kicked off the last one. I did your turn. So I will start this one. Number 15. Heffalumps and Woozles from uh Winnie the Pooh. I like that song.

SPEAKER_01

Do you want my number 15 now?

SPEAKER_00

Sure.

SPEAKER_01

Heffalumps and Woozles from from Winnie the Pooh.

SPEAKER_00

Nice. Nice. Okay. This is gonna be, if we keep following, okay, the same pattern. So fun ride, the little catchy song there in the middle of it. Yeah. Not bad. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So number 14. Yeah, that song. So I went, I don't know how you figured yours, how you figure your list out, but I thought of I listened to all the ride music I could find. I watched a couple rides again this morning, and I really tried to think of how much it meant to me that that part that song in the ride.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Or the show.

SPEAKER_00

How the feelings there was some of it, yeah, that it just it hit. Right. How it hit me. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So that's where I went with the rides. I didn't go with iconic or best. I just went with how it feels when you're experiencing it.

SPEAKER_00

I do have some iconic, but I do too. Of course. Of course. Now so my next one, uh-huh. The Matterhorn Polka. Okay. As you're getting in line for the Matterhorn. It just there's something about that listening to that polka going, and I put the little kick in your leader hose in get you going.

SPEAKER_01

I agree with that. That was all my honorable mentions.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

I thought of it. I thought of it. I listened to it again today and really thought about it. And I and there's a couple here in the bottom that I just decided were better.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So my next one, my number 14, is the Phantasmic Exit music. I didn't redo it. Yeah, I know which one. The Fantastic Music. Uh-huh. It's just, it's Disney to me. Okay. It's something I can hear in when I hear it, I think Disney. Yeah. And that's what I can see that. I'm not one to sit around. I've seen I've watched the whole show maybe twice. I'm one to, but I walk by it a lot. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. I'm I'm not one to watch those shows, but it's a really good show. But occasionally I'll sit around and watch it. It's great. I have yet to see the one at Hollywood Studios.

SPEAKER_01

I haven't either. And Eli just went, so we should ask him about it. Oh, did he see it last time? Okay. He might have been twice. Oh. I'm not sure because he just he went to Hollywood Studios twice.

SPEAKER_00

If he went with Addy. Right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And him and Addie went with Bill, my former exchange student.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

To Hollywood Studios.

SPEAKER_00

That was 14 for you. Okay. Yeah. My next one. Okay. So I last minute I just bumped this off my list. I did have Monsters Inc. Oh, okay. And I bumped it because of Leah's message on your Facebook post because I completely forgot about Maider's Junkier Jamboree. I really like that song. It just gets me laughing.

SPEAKER_01

I do really like all the different songs or just all the songs he does.

SPEAKER_00

It's there's one made one main one, but I I kind of lump them all together. Yeah, I do too. And it's the same thing, same way with Luigi's. That's another good one. I tried to look, that didn't bump anything else out. Okay. It might have bumped the Matterhorn, but Monsters Inc. is now an honorable mention, and Luigi's is an honorable mention. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

For me. So that yeah, that's good. That's good. Mine's a tie, my next one. Okay. The same ride. It's the songs from Tiannis. Okay. So it's Goin Down to Buy You. I think that's what it's called. Yes. I think that's the name of the song. I couldn't find the name of it. I just watched the entire ride like three times today. Yeah. Trying to save where the songs were exactly. And then the it's almost there is the other song. Okay. When they finish. Yes. You're almost there.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, okay. They sing that song too, in the ride. See, I listened to one. I have one of hers later on. Okay. But it's it was called Special Spice.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, that's probably it might be that might be the name of one of these.

SPEAKER_00

I just I didn't look them up. It's not down on the bayou. And now that you mention that one, I that's a great one.

SPEAKER_01

It makes you it gets you pumped for the ride.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. It almost has to be the ride, like all the music on the ride.

SPEAKER_01

That's why I jumped them all together so that I called them Tiana songs.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. But Special Sice was Spice was the last song, like at the celebration. Okay. That's with the Spotify music list I saw. That's what they named it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, so all the Tiana songs.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. Pretty much. Tiana songs. So my number 12, loading the train, Casey Jr.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. That's it. That's iconic.

SPEAKER_00

Down the trek.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

It's that one little, I don't know, the line. To me, is it's catchy. Yep. It's just really catchy. And I what was funny is I just rode that one of my last trips. I finally rode Casey Jr. And I had no idea where that song was from. But it was one of those that was always like every once in a while, earworm. And it I just I'd hear it and the it'd be cruising around in my brain. Right. And I had no idea where it came from. It and we were riding that. Oh, it's from this ride. So that's cool.

SPEAKER_01

That's cool. I didn't even think of that one. I didn't even cross my mind.

SPEAKER_00

There's so many that, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I I all the Fantasyland ones, I thought I should dive deeper into the Fantasyland rides, and I didn't do it. I already had 15. Yeah. So I really didn't. My next one, Soaring Over the World. Okay. Yeah. It's you hear it and you feel like you're there. Yeah. I listened to it, I just listened to it on Spotify today and didn't even watch the ride and felt like I was there just hearing this the music.

SPEAKER_00

See, and that one just doesn't kind of it doesn't hit me in the feels, I would say.

SPEAKER_01

It's good. Yeah, it gets me, I think.

SPEAKER_00

But it it's never been one that like gets me going. It's far from my favorite ride. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's true. The combo together between how good the ride is and how good the music means to how good the ride is, I think it hits right there.

Picks 15 To 12 Kickoff<br>

SPEAKER_00

Okay. So my next one. And I kept getting different names for this. Nine 999 Happy Haunts, Grim Grinning Ghosts. Whoa, it's way down there. Number 11. Yeah. Whoa, okay. Because Haunted Mansion, and I know this is not true for a lot of people, it was never one of my must-dos. Like I and I usually wrote it because it was one of those where at certain points of the day it was a walk-on. So that's when I wrote it. And to me, it was a filler ride. It wasn't a must-do.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but the song.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, I really like, yeah, I like the music and the whole ride because there's that eerie music playing at the start, and it's really great. But there are other ones that I really like more because I like I and I think it's because I like the ride more than that particular one. Okay, what's your next one?

SPEAKER_01

I'm the next one. This one, this one I didn't think of at first this morning, and I think when I I started texting people today and saying what's your five favorites of all my friends and stuff, and I think I put it on Facebook too, not too many hours before we recorded this, so we didn't get too many responses, but I'll try to go over those really quick at the end. But I think it was my daughter, Michaela, that or at it was either my daughter or my son's fiance, Addie, that said the Incredicoaster. All the music from the Incredicoaster from the beginning of the countdown and then the entire music, the soundtrack as you ride the ride.

SPEAKER_00

Because it sounds like it would be fit into the movie.

SPEAKER_01

It's the reason why it's a way better ride than Screaming California ever was. California Screaming, sorry, ever was because of the soundtrack.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. It just is to me, it was there wasn't a whole lot to it. It was good, it went great with the ride, but there wasn't a whole lot to the song. It was just theme music playing in the background. But I get it. No, that was it's great, it fits the ride really well. My next one, number 10, One Little Spark. Oh, good one. Journey into Imagination with Figment. Yeah. I just gotta like the little purple dinosaur. Love that man.

SPEAKER_01

And the music person, I don't even know if thing. Yeah. Yeah, he's great, and that'll come up later in mine, too. That's quite a bit later. My next one was an honorable mention, like you have it as. You have this song as an honorable mention, but I have it higher because I listened to it today, the whole song. Okay. And I listened to all the words, and I should have written some of them down because there's some great lines in this song, and it's through Caballeros.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

It's funny. It is funny. Yeah, it got in there for song alone. The ride to me is okay. Like I think we've talked before about my problems with the ride, that it has like five different kinds of it has animatronics and it has video and it has. I just don't like how it's set up. Puppetry, yeah, it has all the different things. It's Mexican small world. Yeah, but it has all different stuff. It's not like one common thing. No, it is different to me. Yeah. But uh and we were stuck on it for hours.

SPEAKER_00

We were stuck with but there was no music, thankfully, or else we that wouldn't make our list. It probably wouldn't.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it probably would haunt us. The music was gone.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, that was one that went into my honorable mentions because I did like that song a lot.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

So my number nine special spice, Tiana's Bayou Adventure. This was the final song, right? But down on the Bayou is another really good one. So I would just say all of the music. All the Tiana songs. Tiana, yeah. That's up there. It's a very musical ride. Because even because it's got the fake radio station playing at the start and everything. And it's one of those where I really thought maybe this should be higher, but no, it didn't quite make it.

SPEAKER_01

Right.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

That's good. My next one is a combo combo of songs, too. Okay. It's all the songs on the new country bear jamboree. See, I went with rides. I went with show. I decided to throw some shows in there. Okay. Because it's so good. It is. And it's worth it. And the songs make it what it is.

SPEAKER_00

For now, for shows, that boy, if I guess I did do a show.

SPEAKER_01

So I have Phantasmic so far and Country Bear.

SPEAKER_00

And I left Country Bear out, which now doesn't make any sense because of one of your favorite things. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

It's so it's in there and it would be really highly ranked.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I listened to them today again. I listened. There's a whole playlist on Spotify, also.

SPEAKER_00

The old songs are hilarious.

SPEAKER_01

They are, but these I love.

SPEAKER_00

But the new ones I could just listen to. The old ones were just good because they were funny. They were so old and incorrect. Okay. My next one. The Splash Mountain Medley. All the Splash Mountain music. Okay. Yeah. I like the or the one, the song right at the end. I really like the zippy daw. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah. That was one of my favorite things to do as a kid was that when you turn the corner and zip you dawed away.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Which probably beats the song at the end of Tiana's, the spice song. It does. It's better than that, but I don't think the rest of the songs beat Tiana's. Were there other songs though? There had to be. You didn't just have there, was it just music? I gotta watch Splash again. It's been a while.

SPEAKER_00

I thought it was they were just giving grief to the bear and the Br'er Fox and Br'er Rabbit and Brare. Maybe. Brare Bear.

Picks 11 To 9 Haunted And Bayou<br>

SPEAKER_01

I've read it 10 billion times, I don't remember. Yeah, I know. Yeah. That used to be my favorite ride. Because I'm going down the bayou in my head right now. It's like an earworm. Which we'll talk about earworm. My what my last like few are earworms. My next one, where are we at here? Uh the Space Mountain theme. So number eight? Yeah, Space Mountain. It's the song by Dick Dale. A little guitar music. Like electric guitar with other stuff behind it.

SPEAKER_00

So can I ask you? And maybe you don't remember this. Okay. I swear when I went back in eighth grade, and so that you hadn't gone at that point in time. You'd gone three years prior. Right. I swear they did 50s music during it at time. And because Great Balls of Fire. I swear I went on that listening to Great Balls of Fire.

SPEAKER_01

They could have done it at a certain like they do Star Wars now. Yeah. They could have done something like that. But I thought it was because Dick Dale's an old surfer guitar music guy. Yes. He wrote the song. And that was back in the 60s. That would have been like 88.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. And Dick Dale's a guy in the 60s. Or 87.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

I think I went in 87.

SPEAKER_01

We'll have to look that up. That's a good that's a good tidbit that we do not know.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. Number seven, the Little Mermaid Medley. Just because it's just all good songs.

SPEAKER_01

Did I skip it? I skipped Little Mermaid.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I had a doubt number 14.

SPEAKER_00

I have to say that it was.

SPEAKER_01

I had Little Mermaid at 14. I skipped over it. Oh. So were you. I'm one up on you. Yep, I'm one up on you because okay.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. Yep.

SPEAKER_01

So I had the same thing at number 14.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. But anyway, number seven, Little Mermaid, Medley. It's just. It was when Disney movies were coming back into their own and they all were musical. They all had great music in it.

SPEAKER_01

And we talked about it as we were riding a few months ago when we went to Disneyland. Yeah. We talked about how much that ride can make you happy at any time. Yes. That ride is you don't think it's that much because of where it's at and how the ride is.

SPEAKER_00

But a lot of times it can be a walk-on and it's a great place to take a break for 15 minutes. Right.

SPEAKER_01

I could ride it twice a day.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yeah. I'd be fine. I used to.

SPEAKER_01

Right.

SPEAKER_00

Because it was, I just need a break and it's way better than within its sounds. Yes. As a dude. Yeah. And I think at first I felt a little weird getting on it by myself when I'd go by myself, but then I was I just got over it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I did too. You kind of have to. Yeah. So I had that down there. I skipped it and went right to Tiana's for some reason. Don't know why I didn't.

SPEAKER_00

So you let me think. That wasn't my number seven. Right.

SPEAKER_01

I'll just go where I'm at now. I did Space Mountain. My next one is One Little Spark. So I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_00

So that's your number seven?

SPEAKER_01

That's my number six. Oh. Didn't I go first? I thought I no, I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

Go ahead. Number six. That's fine. You went first. I don't know. So I'll go. I have everything else on here. Okay, number six.

SPEAKER_01

That's fine. I should have rewrote my whole list because I changed a couple and edited. Yeah, yeah. So my next one is One Little Spark, Journey to Imagination. Okay. That's my next one. Okay. I love that song. Yeah. It makes me happy. It does. Seeing him makes me happy. Yep. I didn't get a Chubi partner when he and I was there. He couldn't find a little figment to match match Chubi.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. But next time. You're coming, Chubi.

SPEAKER_01

You're coming up here.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Don't worry. My next one, number six, I want you back, Guardian's Mission Breakout. Yeah. You picked one song from it. And I picked, because there's a lot of different songs, I picked my favorite of all of the songs. Okay. And there's like Freebird's really good, and I forgot what I can't remember. The ones off the top of my head, but I want you back was one I remembered. Right. That was the one I didn't have to remember. Whenever I get that one, it just that is the song I like the most on that ride.

SPEAKER_01

And I skipped both Guardians rides because of all the songs.

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Because I think you could put lots of songs in the same thing, same place. Yeah, I went with the ride. The ride as much as the ride makes the song in Guardians mostly. Because you I don't have there's none I don't like. Yeah. I like all of them. Good point. They could throw Elvis on there.

SPEAKER_00

Which they do.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, they can throw Jailhouse Rock.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Burning Love is the one they do.

SPEAKER_00

Burn and Love, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, they could throw anything on, they could throw some prints. That'd be good.

SPEAKER_00

But I want you back was I think it might have been the first song I heard whenever I when I first wrote that.

SPEAKER_01

That probably hit your memories.

SPEAKER_00

It really does. Okay, so you're number five.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and I who knows if this is really my number five, but it is because my number four is down here. My number five is Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Carousel Progress.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. An earworm. If there is an earworm. It is. My cousin hates that. My cousin Heaven hates it. Which is funny because I'll send it every once in a while to them. Good. You're way ahead of me on my drink.

SPEAKER_01

Cheers. We both had a drink at the same time. That doesn't ever happen either.

unknown

Oh no.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

One great big people tomorrow is great.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. And I'm sure you have this one higher. My number five, nothing can stop us now. Making a mini's runaway railway.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I have it higher.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Not too much higher.

SPEAKER_00

Well, there's not too much left to go.

SPEAKER_01

No, so you have the right. So yeah, and let's just talk about it now because I'm gonna come it's gonna come up pretty quick. Yes. That is to me, that is the biggest earworm in the history of Disney. I find myself singing it around the house, uh uh. Whistling it as I'm just doing something randomly without thinking about it.

SPEAKER_00

I sing it in the high pitched voice when I when I'm sick. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's a classic, and it's a new classic, is what's cool about it. It is so cool because it's so new and so good already.

SPEAKER_00

That's that was what got me. Is it's they did some old school Disney with that song. They did. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

The whole ride's old school Disney.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. That's why it's so good. That's true. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

That's why it's so good.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but yeah, that song is just amazing. It might be my number one someday. It might get there. Okay. My next one is the tiki room. So number four. It's my number four. Okay. The tiki room song.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Mine's up there, too. Yeah, the top five to me are interchangeable. My top five. I like them all a lot. Yeah. So yeah, tiki room. You can't beat it. You can listen to it anytime. Uh-huh. You can yeah, you can sing it. You get happy when you hear it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I listened to it again last night at work when I was working. Yeah. I put on the whole soundtrack. I was listening to it. And when Tiki Room came on, I stopped working and went to a fellow employee and said, if you feel angry at work, you should put this playlist on.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Because I'm just laughing over here.

SPEAKER_00

I sing along to all those songs. The whole Tiki Room medley is just good. Good. That is one of my must-do's. I always have to go to Tiki Room every time I go, uh-huh. Every single day. Not just once per trip. Right. Every day I'm at if I'm doing like back and forth park hopper between California Adventure and Disneyland. Every day I have to go see the Tiki Room.

Picks 8 To 6 Space And Guardians<br>

SPEAKER_01

I think we missed it one day when we were there last time. Something happened. It wasn't closed, just something happened. We started it the wrong, we started at like California Adventure. Yeah. Disneyland was really busy. Yeah, I don't think California Adventure is a ghost. We started the California California Adventure two days. Yeah. That was a mistake.

SPEAKER_00

And it used to be back when it was Fast Pass. That was I started every day California Adventure and I got everything done. But different world now. Yeah, we should have done two days at Disneyland. Moving along, my number four Disco Inferno on Cosmic Rewind.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Again, a Guardian.

SPEAKER_00

All great songs. And I know everybody's favorite is September, but Disco Inferno, that lead up or is dun dun, and then it hits. And right when it hits is when you're at the top of the you're going up over a hill and it takes your picture right at that that one point. To me, that is so synced up perfectly, and I love that song anyway. And I think it was one of the first times I rode that. I that's the song I heard. In fact, I think it was because I it was with DJ. Okay. And because we rode it twice because we got the virtual cue and we paid for it when I took him. But yeah, Disco Inferno Cosmic Rewind. It just it's a great song on that ride. It's just because you're just dancing, sitting in your seat dancing.

SPEAKER_01

Right.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it's a good one. It's a good one.

SPEAKER_01

So we're top three now.

SPEAKER_00

Top three.

SPEAKER_01

So I already said Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow, right? You did. Okay. So my next one is Nothing Can Stop Us Now. Okay. Make you a Minnie's. Yeah. And it's only hit three because the next two I just love. I think they're the most iconic. That's why. But uh yeah, nothing can stop us now. Classic, we just talked about it.

SPEAKER_00

Mine? Amazing. Yes, you're number three. There's a great big beautiful tomorrow. Okay. Yep. Great. It's a good one. It is. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

It is. You want to sing along with it all the time. You think of it when you leave the ride. Sometimes it pops in your head like four hours later.

SPEAKER_00

And then some company used that song for a commercial.

SPEAKER_01

Oh.

SPEAKER_00

And like a non-Disney. So they obviously paid Disney for the rights, but yeah, that's a good one. I really like that one.

SPEAKER_01

My number two is Grim Grinning Ghosts.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. So yeah, you're up a lot higher.

SPEAKER_01

I love it. I love the whole song. I love to listen to it. The lyrics are so spot on. Yeah. And the different voices, like they have the sophisticated lady. Okay.

SPEAKER_00

And they have the guy that's the grunt voice. Thurl Ravencross. Right? Yes.

SPEAKER_01

And the yeah, the Tony the Tiger. They say them all different. Yes. It's they say the same kind of line. They always end with the Grim Grinning Ghosts line. And uh yeah, it's just so good.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. It's a good one. It was, I think it was just because it to me that's not a must-do not a must-do to me either.

SPEAKER_01

I could go without riding it.

SPEAKER_00

But some days. But a good song. Yeah. Okay. My number two, Yoho. A Pirate's Life for Me. Okay, number two. Number two.

SPEAKER_01

So Tiki Room's gonna hit number one. Yes, it is.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it's just a classic.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's my number.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, without saying anything. That's my number one. It's my so it's not only my most rented ride.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Like it's your absolute must-do.

SPEAKER_01

You have to must do as many times as possible that the line is like right now, there's no lightning lane there.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

But it's as many times as it's under a 15-minute wait.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_01

Whenever it's there, you hop on the ride as fast as possible.

SPEAKER_00

Which is funny because I went so often that it had to be less than 15 minutes, or else I wouldn't ride it.

SPEAKER_01

Right.

SPEAKER_00

Because I knew that, well, at some point it'll be walk-on while I'm here.

SPEAKER_01

Right.

SPEAKER_00

So I might as well just wait till then. But and that's what's great about it.

SPEAKER_01

And pro tip. We don't do a lot of pro tips on our show. No, we don't. But this one is great. This is from my son Eli came up with this idea.

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

But probably a lot of people use, but he used Roger Rabbit, was his key that he used this with. Because Ron Roger Rabbit breaks down a lot. It does. So he would always book a lightning lane or Roger Rabbit. Okay. Wait for it to break down, get a different ride with that Roger Rabbit one, and then rebook Roger Rabbit again and wait for it to break down. And then get a different ride. And so that's it. You can still get pirates on a lightning lane if another ride breaks down. Yes. Because they have the access, the dash pass access side, and they'll let you go on that side with your extra lightning lane. Oh, okay. And just skip through. I didn't realize that. Yeah. Yeah. That's what's genius moving my son. He came up with it, and it was just great.

SPEAKER_00

The downside is they started doing tiered lightning lanes. So if you got one for a smaller ride, like a Roger Rabbit, all of a sudden you couldn't go ride Tiana's.

SPEAKER_01

Oh no, but you can still get a better ride than Roger Rabbit every time. Yeah. Something's gonna pop up that's a little better.

SPEAKER_00

It's true. And of course, my number one, the Tiki Room. Right. The Tiki Room. We just talked about that all day long. You can listen to loved all the music for Tiki Room. Great to just sit there. You get a nice little break. I love all the music. I kind of sing along to everything. Right. And I like all the songs. It's there's not a bad song in that show. No. And it's funny because Dave and Asha had been going every couple of years while the kids grew up. So they'd been there a half dozen times or five times, something like that. They'd never gone to the tiki room. I'm like, wait a minute. What? And this was after when did I first go to the tiki room? I think I went when after I got my my pass.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

Top Five Earworms And Classics<br>

SPEAKER_00

My annual pass when I lived down there. Uh-huh. And I went to the tiki room. I'm like, this is great. And I'd been three times before that. And growing up at different points. Never had never gone into the tiki room. And yeah, then it turned into oh I've got to come to this every every time.

SPEAKER_01

I've always been a tiki room person. So I did put this on Facebook and Instagram.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

To ask people. We did get a few responses. It was just a couple hours before we recorded. So I didn't get a lot of them. But some of the other ones we had were Pure Pants Flight. Yes. People did mention the Guardians ride a lot. Pirates was mentioned quite a bit.

SPEAKER_00

Christy gave you a sarcastic answer. Thank you, Christy.

SPEAKER_01

I read it, but it was all just a top, like it's an AI generated. I just Googled it really fast. Thank you, Christy. Right, is what we're gonna say. Because I read it really fast right before we started. And then and then Christy's friend, I don't know if she's trolling us or she really likes it. So we should have that discussion with her. She's the only person that says small world, which we both left out of our thing. She said small world, best ride. We went on and on. So I told you I'd mention you, Haley. You said small world, it's your favorite. And especially thanks for listening. That's the most important thing.

SPEAKER_00

But you'll never go to Disneyland with us. She can go with us. We just can not spend those 25 half hours with her. Ditch her for when she goes on that ride.

SPEAKER_01

No, let me say this right now. If I if Haley goes to Disneyland with us, I'll ride Small World with you.

SPEAKER_00

Go during Christmas.

SPEAKER_01

I'll anytime. If someone goes to Disneyland with me and I say, I'll go with you if you ride Small World, I'm riding Small World. Okay. It's only it's not that bad where I wouldn't want to go with somebody. Oh. I'd love to go, I'll go to Disneyland with anybody. I would love just to experience it. I want to experience Disneyland with as many people as possible.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, I would ride Small World, even though it's my least favorite ride ever.

SPEAKER_00

And uh if you'd like to send us to Disney World or Disneyland, our Cash App is we don't have Cash App. We're too too old for that.

SPEAKER_01

But we can discuss that if you like.

SPEAKER_00

So there we go. There's our list. There it is. Best ride music rankings, worst of first. Yeah, some honorable mentions. Yes.

SPEAKER_01

We didn't do that.

SPEAKER_00

Actually, yeah, they were all good. Yeah. I didn't even really include the stuff that was I didn't do that. Yeah. So anyway, your job is to leave us a comment. Right. That's that is your job this week.
