This was the first CD I owned. I didn't even have a CD player (but my parents did) and although I bought Madonna's True Blue on vinyl and Phil Collins No Jacket Required on tape, I knew this album was special and needed to be of the highest possible quality.
You see, I grew up, not only in the time of The Wonderful World of Disney and The New Mickey Mouse Club, but also when every educational filmstrip shown to us in school seemed to feature some facet of enlightenment for Goofy or Donald. And to top it all off, I grew up just minutes away from the mouse himself in Orlando, where my first trips to The Magic Kingdom were practically free (admission was like $3) and the most difficult decision I had to make was which one or two rides to use my E-Tickets on.

Even if It's a Small World never leaves your head, these songs should be a part of every family's musical library!
Activities
There are more activities to go along with all things Disney than the scope of this blog could possibly cover, so I'll leave it to you to Google them yourself, depending on your personal level of Disney geekiness. But the activities are out there, my friends, I assure you.To Read

More Music
Like I said, there are many, many albums of Disney songs out there now. I have quite the collection, but did notice that some of these newer compilations include some classic songs that I'm missing, so I might have to explore expanding my library a bit. Here are a few to start your hunt:
Classic Disney, or the newer generation? Songs from the movies, or from the park rides? What are your favorite Disney children's songs? I'd love to hear - leave a comment or email me at lisahealy (at) outlook (dot) com.
