In their "Declaration of Independence" the authors and researchers of this guide swear their allegiance to you, the consumer. "If a restaurant serves bad food, or a gift item is overpriced, or a certain ride isn't worth the wait, we can say so, and in the process we hope to make your visit more fun, efficient, and economical." And because they've found that "spontaneity and self-discovery work about as well at Walt Disney World as they do on your tax return," The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World is packed full of essential advice for anyone braving the frontiers of the mother of all theme parks.

To help you decide what's most important for you and your family to see, each attraction is described in detail and ranked for different age groups based on interviews with more than 9,000 families. The book also covers when to go, pros and cons of lodging outside "the World," hotel and restaurant ratings, field-tested itineraries, tips and warnings, planning strategies, and how to meet Disney characters. Humorous writing accompanied by cartoonist Tami Knight's satiric insights make this guide fun to read. Parks covered include The Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Animal Kingdom, The Disney-MGM Studios, Universal Studios Florida, Sea World, area water theme parks, and a section called "Beyond the Parks," which delves into other various Disney offerings like golf (mini and maxi), a speedway, and Discovery Island. --Kathryn True ...

Cinderellas Castle
This book is a waste!I followed the directions they give to get a reservation at Cinderellas Castle for Breakfast.They said to call 60 days in advance at exacly 6:59:40.3 days I tried this.On the 4th day I tried earlier.I got through!Just to find out that reservations are now taken 90 DAYS IN ADVANCE!!!!This book is out if date and it was the 2005 edition!

My Disney Bible
This book was a life-saver when I was planning our family's Disney vacation.I used many of the book's tips as well as the touring guides.By reading through all the restaurant choices, I was able to select places I thought my family would enjoy.Our trip was a major success, and I have this book to thank for it.

I wouldn't go to Disney without it!
This book really, really came in handy for our trip to Disney.I purchased it a few months prior to leaving so I could read it cover to cover, highlighting the information important to me.How wonderful to be "in the know" about so many things!It made for smooth sailing the entire day at Disney, not to mention my DD making it for the all-important Princess Breakfast in the castle, and I learned about the Ye Olde Barber Shoppe and getting DD's haircut there for the first time, what an experience!I read my girlfriend's Birnbaum book and in comparison this is a MUCH more datailed informative book.Don't hesitate to purchase this if your planning that Disney trip......
Partner this book with Universal Orlando by Kelly Monaghan if you plan on heading there.(I highly recommend Universal Studios AND Islands of Adventure...we loved both of these parks)

.....Now to find that perfect Western Caribbean book for our upcoming cruise. ... Read more

The best!
This is a wonderful book! I get it every year. It's very informative! I suggest all get this book!

More information than you can handle!
So much inside scoop with more information on anything and everything than you ever wanted. In depth analysis, recommendations, price ranges, etc. Great Book! Worth buying for a trip to Disney!

Too Biased
I used to enjoy this guide, but since I read Bob Sehlinger's "Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World," I will never trust Birnbaum again. Sehlinger doesn't play nice, while Birnbaum is required to, given that he has Disney's "official" stamp of approval. Meaning: Every attraction is worthwhile. Disney resorts are the only way to go. And don't even THINK about other offerings in the Orlando area (most famously, the Universal Parks). I don't think so.

It's interesting to note that when Universal Studios Florida was in its infancy (circa 1991), Birnbaum included a page at the very back of the book concerning the park. Circa 1996, there was no mention of it. I guess The Mouse nixed it. (Should you be planning a trip to Orlando, by the way, check out the Universal Parks. They're out of this world.) ... Read more

Editorial Review

How many pouches, pockets, bags, and purses do you want to carry at Walt Disney World? And how well will you remember, amid the clamor and frenzy, which sack holds your entry tickets and which your meal coupons, where you put that map and what you did with the hotel reservations? Among the jumble of guidebooks and cameras, souvenirs and sunglasses, important slips of paper elude panicky fingers. But it needn't be so.

The PassPorter is a brilliant travel aid. It boasts 11 sturdy manila pockets, each clearly labeled, so you know which holds important travel papers (like tickets, itineraries, and maps); which houses papers pertaining to your lodgings; and where to store all the notes, plans, tickets, pamphlets, coupons, and numerous etceteras for each day of Walt Disney World exploration; as well as extra slots for ticket stubs, receipts, and small souvenirs. These pocket pages are also designed for recording important information, such as flight, train, or bus details; target travel budgets; and what you plan to do and where you plan to visit on any given day. Each page has space for jotting down notes and memories of the trip, from meals to weather to the best and worst thing of each day.If you're not an avid journal keeper, these quick notes may keep your many experiences from running together into one hectic jumble.

The pockets alone make this a useful take-along, but the PassPorter is a thorough source of information as well. There are chapters on planning your adventure, lodging options from hotel to resort, plus a full guide to all the sites and attractions of Walt Disney World, as well as passes, special programs, food options, and maps. With a durable laminated cover, spiral notebook design, and back page of phone numbers (everything from Walt Disney World information to the weather line to MedicClinic), this is possibly the most practical, sanity-saving guide you could take along to Disney World. --Stephanie Gold ...

Great for planning and taking to the parks
I compared this with Mini Micky, Tour Guide Mike (automated vacation planner), Birmbaum's guide and various other websites. I took all tour guide books with us on trip and ended up using the Passporter in the parks: very well organized, love the maps, suggested iteneraries and the pockets.

On our first day out could not persuade family members to follow the suggested order of attractions: saw only three that day. Afterwards, followed Passporters suggestions with some modifications and averaged 6+ attractions, which was great since our party included a preschooler and grandma with dementia in wheelchair!

I bought the spiral bound version: would recommend the deluxe version as you can take out the pages you don't need when you are visiting the parks and minimize bulk. I was able to store my copy safely in the stroller when visiting attractions. The pockets great for keeping reciepts, souvenir maps, etc. and make trip reports/ scrap booking really easy. I didn't think I would use them at first but once I started, I was hooked! Jennifer and Dave are making an even better version with post-it flags, color maps and other improvements for 2004. Can't wait to see the new version and to return to WDW to see what we missed!!!

Invaluable resource!
When I purchased the Passporter initially I had know idea how valuable it would be.It was a concise tour guide book and provided me with a way to manage all of our planning details as we prepared for our trip.The Passport pockets are an awesome way to keep track of confirmations, tickets, and receipts, and the maps and resort information are fabulous.Their website became my #1 source of information on making this the best trip ever.Hands down the best resource I've found!

Look No Further
You have found the perfect book to plan your wonderful trip to the happiest place on Earth. The detail is amazing. Each resort is given a six page lay out. You will see everything you need to see before getting there. The author's have a web site that can answer any question anyone can pose. The most up-to-date info can be found at that site. ...

Great Small Guide
I have 2 editions of the "without kids" guides.I think they're great!But I am speaking as someone who has been to Disney World multiple times in the past & is just looking for a refresher on the highlights & current info.I also really like this book for when I'm questioning whether an attraction is too childish for my husband & I, who don't have kids yet.If it's in this book, I know it's ok.:)It is a small book, which I think is great -- very easy to carry around with you at the park!On our 2 last trips, I have actually purchased both the "without kids" guidebook along with the regular Birnbaums guide, which provides more detailed information when you need it (but I don't carry that one around!).

Best Book Out there
I read some of the other reviews listed for this book.I can't believe that there are people who think that this is a waste of money, it is anything but...I go to Disney almost every year.The first thing I do every october is buy the newest version ofthis book.Don't get me wrong there are some other really good books out there, but this one has to be the very best by far.If you go to Disney often you realize that they are accurte about lines and times and a whole bunch of other stuff.So if you are looking for info but not to munch info.Get this book, or any of the other books they put out.I use this one and the general disney book as I am not traveling with kids.

Not worth it
First of all, I don't agree with a lot of their "don't miss", "don't overlook", and "don't knock yourself out" lists (having already been twice in years past (once as an adult) helps). Of course, the "thrill" rides are "don't miss". Not all adults can handle thrill rides, and not always because they're pregnant or have pacemakers (motion sickness and a fear of thrill rides occur in all ages). And the "Country Bear Jamboree", which is just an elaborate "Chuck E Cheeze" without the pizza, arcade, and ball pit, a "don't miss" (no offense to those who like it) and "Cinderella's Golden Carousel" a "don't knock yourself out" (carousel's aren't just for kids, and can be romantic)? I was also appaled at their thinly-veiled discouragement for staying in a cheaper resort hotel (mostly because families with kids frequent those). Even without kids, not everyone has that kind of money (most of us are lucky we can even afford admission, plane tickets, etc.). And there's really nothing else to speak of. No very detailed information, no real recomendations, no nothing! And yet Birnbaum's guide for families has much more information, something I find a little odd...

Anyway, if you're planning a Disney vacation without kids, try "Walt Disney World For Couples". It has better information, and their reccomedations go beyond the "E-ticket" attractions. ... Read more

Um.These ARE the originals.
I'm not sure where L. Tucker-Kellogg is coming from. These are the original songs from the movies or tv shows--original vocals, original instrumentation.

Good price, Disappointing singers.
Be aware that the artists singing and playing these songs are not the same as in the movies or on the soundtracks.The overall production is less lush and more natural.I was surprised to find that I really miss the "buttery" emotive style of the highly-processed Disney soundtracks.The singers are certainly not bad, but to my ear they sound more like normal singers and normal songs, not like Disney characters singing Disney songs.

Songs of Disney's-My Favorites!
Goods are a relative concept.They provide same utility to the people, but their preferences to the products are all different.People who can find the true enjoyment from the goods' utility can be said that they mutually interact with them.I am one of the people who can interact with certain product.Walt Disney animation O.S.Ts (Original Sound Tracks) give me true enjoyment and give me a pleasure to live life.I heard the sound track hundreds of times.I love the songs so much that I hope other people would like these songs, feel intimate interaction, and find joys in life.

Walt Disney animation O.S.Ts are the sound track that contains every song, which was in the movie.It is on sale at the same time the animation is released.It includes orchestra, which is the main theme music lying under the whole movie, main character's solos, and famous pop musician's song that had appeared right after the movie was finished.Some of those songs are nominated for the "best song" at the Academy Awards, which proved officially how those songs are well composed.Also, there are few famous scenes added on the O.S.Ts packaging that people can remember the movies.

There are some reasons why I cannot help falling into Disney's songs.First of all, the lyrics are beautiful compare to pop songs nowadays.I had a chance to watch MTV one day and I could easily find that there are lots of songs in which lyrics are violent, pessimistic, and abusive with slang.That makes me sick of listening to it at some point.On the other hand, as an animation is originally made for children, the lyrics of songs are naive, positive, and relaxing.It shows the world is a wonderful place to live.Secondly, Disney animation usually puts a large proportion of the lines from the movie into the song, so that by listening to one CD I can fully catch the story line of a movie.That is, even though I am not sitting in front of television, I can feel the deep emotion just from the CDs anywhere at any time-in my bed, on streets, and even in cars.I have heard the songs so many times that I barely miss any words from the songs when I sing Disney songs.

Although I really like to listen to Disney music, that doesn't necessarily mean that everybody does the same thing.It seems like people just lose interest in listening to Disney songs.Maybe, they loved to listen to these songs and to sing along in their childhood but not anymore because it feels like Disney songs are just for kids.Actually, Disney songs are for all grown-ups, too.It reminds the people of happy memories of childhood.When everything does not work well and everything is so stressful, listening Disney songs can help me run away from the reality and going back to the fantasy world of the childhood where there are no worries.Also, if we keep listening to Disney songs and later watch the movies, we would know all of melodies that are in the movies.People tend to concentrate more on what they already know so we can enjoy watching the movies more than before.It would give us much more pleasure to follow all the songs that our childhood favorite characters sing.

As I said above, Disney songs make me relived, give me a pleasure of life, and help me find real enjoyment of the product-the Disney animation O.S.Ts.I love these songs so much that I listen every moment when I am free.I hope other people enjoy these songs as well.It never wears out even though hundreds of people listen to it thousands of times. It's not that much hard to love something that would make you crazy about!!

I love this album
Larry Groce is the singer in this series and his voice is very friendly and sedating. I've loved his music since I was four years old and I still do. The sound of his voice relaxes me and even helps me sleep at night. The song "I'm a Policeman" is a good sedative for me and I recommend it to other children and their families. Larry is a good man and a pleasant singer.

awesome
Love this cd!when i was a kid i used to have it on a record!I was very happy to see that disney put it on a cd!Now my children will be able to listen to the funny music that i grew up listening to!

Editorial Review

The fifth installation in Radio Disney's Jams series crowds a crop of powder-puff pop culled from the airwaves onto one disc. Expect the usual genre twitches: 3 Doors Down's "Kryptonite" and Simon and Milo's power punk "Get a Clue" stomp off in a rock direction; Baha Men's "Move It Like This" and Play's pulsing remake of "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" stir a thimbleful of dance into the mix; and 3LW's "Playas Gon' Play" and Aaron Carter's work-the-crowd "Oh Aaron" run with an urban-R&B vibe. Otherwise, it's straight-ahead pop here, courtesy of such staples as Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync. In what's becoming a Jams custom, each of the acts still climbing toward shriek-and-squeal status aims to sound like somebody else, with Britney, J. Lo, and P Diddy flourishes flitting from track to track. Also, the tech-y references at times feel icky given the target crowd (ChristinaMilian's "Call Me, Beep Me," LMNT's lament for the unpageable "Juliet"), but try to dash these ditties from your short-term memory. They're as tough to scrape away as tape from the back of a bedroom poster; that they're just as paper-thin is part of the fun. --Tammy La Gorce ... Read more

This is a very good cd!!!
This cd is very good!... It is a very good cd and it is worth every penny of the money.All I have to say is that you will love this cd IF you like fun,pop.But if you are a person who likes rap like 50 cent you will probably not like this.

Great Cd!!!!
This is the best cd I have ever heard( well one of them)Here is why:

1. Call Me, Beep Me; 3/5. Good song. Not the best on the cd though
2. Can't Help Falling In Love: 5/5. Love this song. I love A Teens they are great for this song.
3. Juliet: 5/5. Great song too! I have it stuck in my head. Nice!
4.Move it like this: 3/5: Ok. Better songs by Baha Men though. I really wished there would be Who let the dogs out.
5. Oh Aaron: 4/5. Great song. I attentially don't like Aaron Carter but this song is great!
6.I'm gonna make you love me: 5/5. Love it! Great job PLAY!
7. What makes you different: 5/5. This song is really touching. The backstreet boys have great voices.
8. Everything: 5/5. Great Song! I could listen to it all day and never get tired of it!
9. Pop: 4/5. Good song. I love Nysnc and this remix of pop.
10.Get A Clue:4/5. Good! The people have weird voices though.
11.Kids in America:2/5. Ok, as much as I love this cd I have to say No secrets could have done a WAY better job.
12.Kryptonite: 4/5. Good Song. Not as good as other ones though.
13.Play'as Gon' Play;3/5. Ok, but something about it gives me goosebumps.
14. God Bless the Usa: 20/5. ( All I Can Say ) AHHH! Wow!
15. I say yeah: 5/5. Great Song. Love dream street.

Advice: Buy this cd! You will be glad and will NOT be wasting you're money. Great job Radio Disney!

Very Pleasantly Surprised
I am an older kid (36) and purchased this mostly because it has the songs - "what makes you different" and "Get a clue" - having heard the first on Princess Diaries and the 2nd off the Disney movie titled Get a Clue.But, I was very pleasantly surprised that I actually like this CD a lot!!My friends like it too.We call it HAPPY MUSIC.Very upbeat and puts you in a peppy mood.I do not, however, care for the Aaron Carter song.The lyrics are cute - but I think he probably has much more to offer. ...

Awesome collection!
I have to say, that with a 5 year old who is obsessed with the movies that these songs go with, it has made the perfect gift! She spends hours listening to this CD while doing more productive activities than sitting in front of a TV watching the movie.The songs are special to her because of the movies, and she actually does her schoolwork well with these fun songs playing.As a music lover and a Disney lover, we both agree at 5 and 30 that this is a hit.

For adult listeners, the Disney songs sung by "real" singers
Trivia Challenge: Included in the 16 tracks on "Disney's Superstar Hits" is the only song from a Disney film to hit #1 on the Billboard Pop Charts.See if you can remember which one it is before I give the answer away at the end.No peaking ahead.

The songs collected on "Disney's Superstar Hits" are mostly from the 1990s; there is "Once Upon a Time in New York City" from way back in 1988 from "Oliver and Company" and a few songs from the 21st century.But the only golden oldie is "Put It Together (Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo)," which comes from "Cinderella II" and not the original.The obvious frame of reference would be to see this collection as representing the Disney Renaissance ushered in by the Alan Menken/Howrad Ashman era, which makes it strange that nothing from "Little Mermaid" is included.But the common denominator to this collection is that the songs are not sung by the characters from these films, or, more properly, the people who did the voices for the characters.So instead of Angela Landsbury doing "Beauty and the Beast" it is Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson.

There are several songs from the less than stellar direct to video Disney sequels, such as "The Hunchback of Notre Dame II," "The Lion King II: Return to Pride Rock," "and "Cinderella II," which would be a minor complaint.But Tina Turner sings one of the songs, so it is hard to complain.In fact, the strength of this collection is indeed the superstar singers.Most of them are blasts from the past such as Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Phil Collins, Sting, Huey Lewis, and Randy Newsman, but there is also new blood such as Christina Aguilera, Sarah McLachlan, Vanessa Williams, and even Jennifer Love Hewitt.Peabo Bryson comes out ahead, with the aforementioned "Beauty and the Beast" and another duet, "A Whole New World" with Regina Belle.

This disc is perfect for grown ups, who like the "real" singers singing the best songs from the Disney movies their kids have been dragging them to for the past decade.Vanessa William's "Colors of the Wind" is my personal favorite, although it is hard not to recall the fantastic opening of "The Lion King" when you hear Elton John do "Circle of Life."On the fun side of the ledger I like Randy Newman and Lyle Lovett working their collective ways through "You've Got a Friend in Me" a bit more than Jimmy Cliff and Lebo M's "Hakuna Matata."

Trivia Answer: "A Whole New World" was #1 on the Billboard Pop Chart for one week starting on March 6, 1993.It is the song that replaced Whitney Houston's cover of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" after 14 weeks on top.

Good CD
This is a great CD, but I was kind of disappointed that there weren't more tracks on it.Other than that, you and your kids will be singing along in the car for sure. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Without so much as a squeak from the Mickey Mouse Club in decades, Disney had to rally its devotees one way or another, and who better to whip them into a frenzy than the artists gathered here? Disneymania delivers a clutch of bubblegum confections bent on causing more 'tween drooling than a trip to the orthodontist. Highlights on a collection that only occasionally dips into Disney's pre-1980s catalog include the A-Teens' frothy "Under the Sea," 'N Sync's polished "When You Wish upon a Star," Jump 5's fuel-injected "Beauty and the Beast," and the Baha Men's bouncy "Hakuna Matata." Disney purists may pout over these remakes--it's tough to argue with Phil Collins's "You'll Be in My Heart" or Elton John's "I Just Can't Wait to Be King"--but improving on classics wasn't the point. Better to think of Disneymania as a record-length pep rally go with the feel-good flow. --Tammy La Gorce ... Read more

Another Repackaging Of Princess Favorites
When is Disney ever going to realize that recycling Disney Princess songs aren't such a good idea? As a Disney Princess fan since I was really little I have always enjoyed Disney princess songs.But i am so so so so sick and tired about on just about every Disney album dedicated solely to the Disney Princesses Disney always always ALWAYS has a habit of recycling old princess songs instead of adding new princess songs.I mean people already own half the songs on Princess Favorites and can buy them on the film soundtracks or the Disney princess collection cd.Why I think this cd was released is that Disney was trying to promote the movie Cinderella II Dreams Come True as the songs from that movie are on this cd.But heck one of the songs Put it Together is also on the SUPERSTAR HITS cd.So while this cd may be a redone version of Princess Collection Volume #2 please Please Please PLEASE do not buy,
Thank you very much for your time

Whose Princess Favorites???
I would classify only 3 of the songs on this CD as Princess Favorites - Belle, Kiss The Girl and Once Upon A Dream.The rest are either not Princess songs or not favorites.

My daughter is a huge Disney Princess fan, and wants to hear the songs from the Princess movies non-stop.She's only 3, but she does know her princesses, and the girl from Hercules and Nala from the Lion King are definitely NOT princesses!This is also the first time that I've seen Mulan grouped with the princesses.

We wanted music from the classic Disney Princess movies that she loves - Cinderella, Snow White, Beauty & The Beast, Sleeping Beauty, Aladdin and The Little Mermaid.I do not put Cinderella 2 and Aladdin and the Forty Thieves in that category - were those even released in the theaters, or direct to video?

I am generally a fan of the Disney compilations, but this one feels like a marketing rip-off.Get the Disney Classics 5 CD set if you really want the Princess Favorites - they may be spread out over all the discs, but they are the songs you want to hear!

Save your money!
A friend gave this CD to my little girl for her 5th birthday...she was thrilled to get it.The thrill ended as soon as it was played.She wanted to know where the Princesses were.
There is no Ariel...just a song by Sebastian.No Cinderella, no Snow White, and why would they place an unknown song from the Broadway musical Beauty and the Beast which only has been heard by the people attending the musical??At least Sleeping Beauty made the grade.My daughter has the movie Cinderella II which the CD promotes, but is not familiar with them to really enjoy these 4 songs.
Again, save your money...some day maybe Disney will set aside some of their money and marketing hunger and put out a CD that any 5 year old princess will enjoy singing along with...BTW isn't Beauty and the Beast being re-released...oh yea, thats why that endless song about Belle is on there..Bon Jour! ...

my favorite princess cd
i love this cd!my dad got it for me for my birthday3 years ago and i still love it

Perfect for a Princess
I bought this cd for my daughter's 3rd birthday. She LOVES it! She asks me to play it every day and we both sing along to all of the songs. She has even picked up on the songs that she didn't know before she received it. I love it because now she is more interested in listening to the cd and dancing with me in the house than watching a video. In quiet times, she likes to sit on my lap and look at the pictures in the liner notes. The recordings are beautiful, it is the one children's cd that I can listen to over and over. If you have a little girl who loves princesses, this is definitely worth the money.

Great CD!
I'm Also 18 and about to graduate HS and this is still one of my favorite cds! I actually bought this cd about 3 years ago (a different cover-same cd) and LOVED IT! I didn't give "Home" a chance at first but one day I listened to it and it is probably one of my all time favorite songs! I love broadway and I sing and its a very challenging song to sing! Susan Egan has a gorgeous voice! And none more gorgeous than Jodi Benson (Ariel!). My point is this is a great cd, don't ignore it becuase you don't know all the songs...you'll grow to love them as much as the favorites! ... Read more

The complete Disney Princess stories, chapter by chapter
This has been a GREAT book for us!We got it for our 4 year old daughter for Christmas and now, 2 months later we are STILL reading at least 1 chapter at naptime and 2 chapters at bedtime EVERYDAY!I can speak for my daughter and most of her 4 year old girlfriends:They are SOOOO into the Disney Princesses--the pictures in this book are FABULOUS; while the stories are complete (identical to the movies).We don't let our daughter watch the movies (she is SUPERSENSITIVE to scary stuff) and yet the stories give a vivid picture (while allowing us to edit out the more graphic words as needed: i.e. "kill, die, etc.).On those nites when the "fearsome fours" are intense, she even tells us to skip over the pages with the witches or tells us not to say "Malificent,...because I may have nitemares."I cannot recommend this book more highly as it has ALL the princess stories, beautiful pictures and will be a keepsake to pass on for generations!

Great Introduction to "longer" stories for little ones.
Most of the stories in this book are about 100 pages long. For each page of text there is a beautiful, Disney-worthy illustration. The stories are the classic triumphs of good over evil that the Disney generations grew up with.

The stories are split into chapters, which is a nice introduction to longer stories for little ones. I thought that my three year old might be too young for this type of book, and that I would save it until she is older. I was wrong.

I am currently working my way through the book with my 3.5 year old. She knows that she will hear one and sometimes two chapters per night, and then have to wait for more. She is very interested in the stories and loves looking at the illustrations.

I can't think of a better way to introduce discussion about "what will happen next" than stories that are divided into chapters. I can't think of a more pleasant bedtime diversion than this book.

Squeaky-clean princesses!!
If you like your fairy tales uncomplicated, this is the book to have. It is a great, sturdy hardcover with beautiful illustrations. There are only six stories, but they are a bit more expanded than they are in "Disney Princess Collection" and they are also broken up into chapters, which is handy for reading out loud. Enjoy! ...

Mary Poppins: An Original Walt Disney Records Soundtrack (1964 Film)

list price: $11.98
US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France

Editorial Review

If not for all the other highlights of Walt Disney's incomparable pop cultural legacy, it would be tempting to call Mary Poppins his crowning achievement. Released just two years before his death, the innovative live-action/animation/musical hybrid became an instant classic. It was nominated for 13 Academy Awards and a winner of 5 (including Best Actress for Julie Andrews and Best Musical Score and Best Song Oscars for the brother team of Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman). It's no stretch to call the Mary Poppins score the Shermans' most memorable of their 40-plus-year association with Disney. Boasting at least three bona fide classics ("A Spoonful of Sugar"; the Gilbert and Sullivan-esque romp, "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"; and Oscar winner, "Chim Chim Cher-ee") and at least as many other contenders, the Shermans' score held the technical tour de force together while giving it a sense of ageless wonder to match the powers of its titular magical nanny. This edition restores the previously abridged "Step in Time" sequence to its original length and offers a terrific 16-minute bonus track for collectors: the Sherman brothers' reminiscences about their work on the landmark film interspersed with four of their original song demos. --Jerry McCulley ...

This is not the Original LP album released in 1964
Just a word to everyone out there.I saw "Mary Poppins" in 1964, and bought its Original Soundtrack Album on Vista Records (a subsidiary of Disney).The score is not taken directly from the movie (as this "restored" CD release is).Instead, bits of music and dialogue were included in the LP to make more better segues; the "Overture" ends in an entirely different fashion; the biggest damage was done to "Supercali..." where the musical intro has been as well as the comical dialogue in the middle of the songhave been completely deleted. The sound engineers have stripped out all the charm and warmth of the original Soundtrack version, and yet they call it a "Restored" or "Remastered" version. This is why I continue to play the vinyl version (transferred to CD). And frankly, there is no reason to include all 8 minutes of "Step In Time."If you want all 8 minutes, just watch the DVD -- like every other song, that's where they lifted the music for this CD.

Master Piece!
I love this CD! It is a collection of master pieces by the Sherman brothers. The music is fun to dance to and is a great way to brighten up your day. I love turning on my CD player and listening to Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke sing thier hearts out. This is my favorite album in my collection. It is fun for the whole family wheather you are a baby or a teen or an adult or a senior. I am a teen and I LOVE it.

My Favorite Soudtrack
This is such a great CD. It has all my absolute favorite songs on it. I think I've watched and listened to the movie and the soundtrack so much now thatI think I know Mary Poppins all by heart! The sound on this CD is just(how else can I express it?)"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!!!"Julie Andrews's(Mary Poppins) voice is wonderful,and Dick Van Dyke(Bert)makes you remember "Chim-Chim-Cheree".I even use "Stay Awake" and the beautiful lullaby "Feed the Birds" sometimes when I can't get to sleep.This CD is absolutely a must have for Julie Andrews fans, Disney fans,or just anyone who needs a lift.Cheerio! ...

Cease Publication
I just received the last Disney Magazine. Included with the magazine was a notice about stopping publication with the Summer 2005 issue. This was a good magazine since it offered a preview of upcoming attractions and events.

I am not happy they are stopping publication. The two other magazines they offered do not target adults that are simply interested in Disney.

Disney(world) Magazine
I agree with the others here who have pointed out that this is truly a magazine about Disneyworld. The entire point of the magazine seems to be to encourage the reader to visit the Orlando half of the American Disney Empire.I have rarely seen an article on the real Disneyland.I have been very disappointed.

Wonderful
I have been receiving the Disney Magazine for the past three years.I absolutely love it.I look forward to every issue. I read it from cover to cover at least five time, but my favorites are the hidden pics and the calendar of events as to what is going on when and where at the theme parks.I also love when there are articles from behind the scenes at the theme parks.I have been a huge fan of Disney since I was a child.Having a subscription to this magazine is just one more way I can enjoy Disney.So thank you for giving me this opportunity to say thank you. ...

Editorial Review

From the moment that Prince Eric's ship emerged from the fog in the opening credits it was apparent that Disney had somehow, suddenly recaptured that "magic" that had been dormant for thirty years. In the tale of a headstrong young mermaid who yearns to "spend a day, warm on the sand," Ariel trades her voice to Ursula, the Sea Witch (classically voiced by Pat Carroll), for a pair of legs. Ariel can only succeed if she receives true love's kiss in a few day's time and she needs all the help she can from a singing crab named Sebastian, a loudmouth seagull, and a flounder. The lyrics and music by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken are top form: witty and relevant, and they advance the story (go on, hum a few bars of "Under the Sea"). Mermaid put animation back on the studio's "to do" list and was responsible for ushering Beauty and the Beast to theaters. A modern Disney classic. --Keith Simanton ... Read more

One of Disney's all time greats!
The Little Mermaid came out a year after I was born. I guess I only find it fitting to write a kid's review, because all of the wonderful memories i have from it were when I was a kid. It simply is a stunning movie, regardless of being a disney classic.
It chronicles the story of Ariel, a young mermaid who dreams of becoming a human to be with her love, Eric. However the only way she can be human is by sacrificing her voice to the evil sea witch ursula. She also has two sidekicks, the absolutely hilarious sebastion and the sweet, shy flounder. I found the story to be expertly crafted and entertaining for adults and children. After 16 years, I finally rented it again and it was as magical as it had always been. I can't wait until it is re-released in 2008 on DVD. It stands against such classics as the lion king, and beauty and the beast. All three of these movies have EXCELLENT music as well as wonderful characters, both comical and serious. Highly Recommended!

A fantastic movie, but you may want to wait....
This is no doubt a beautiful and classic disney film.

My advice:Wait for the 2-disc "Platinum Edition" to be released.It will contain the extra bonus features that the "Limited Issue" lacks.Also, if you wait you can probably find it for about 20 dollars, which is much better than buying it second hand right now for a ridiculous price.You will get more for your money if you wait!Also, you should know that Disney has decided to speed up their releases with the Platinum series (from 1 every year to 2 each year).So, Little Mermaid will be out in October of 2006.So, if you can wait a year and a half to get the better version, I would recommend it! Especially if you're into extras and bonus features (because the limited issue has NONE!)

So, if anyone is interested, Cinderella is the next Platinum DVD to come out in October of 2005, followed by Lady and the Tramp in March of 2006, and then (finally!) The Little Mermaid in October of 2006

(For 2007, the March release will be The Jungle Book and then 101 Dalmations in October)

For more information... UltimateDisney.com is a great website!

I hope you found this advice helpful, as my wish is for everyone to be able to enjoy this gorgeous Disney film!

Wonderful!Disney's greatest film since "The Rescuers!"
Disney was sure going down, they hadn't had a good hit film since The Rescuers, the era which followed only offered bland films at the rhythm of Oliver & Company.This film is one of the greatest Disney films ever, it features beautiful animation and great songs, the only problem is minor "reality holes" once in a while.

The story of 16-year-old Ariel is really something.A young mermaid goes against her father's wishes in order to achieve what she wants, to be with the handsome human prince Eric which turns the little mermaid to the powers of the wicked Ursula, who always reminded me of Madame Medusa from The Rescuers, with two ferocious pets as well.Ursula does her magic after singing a catchy song "Poor Unfortunate Souls" and turns Ariel into a human, now Ariel has only three days to receive a kiss from Eric so as to be human for the rest of her days.However, Ursula has plans and will not let Ariel be happy, even if it means cheating by turning herself into the beautiful Vanessa, who with Ariel's voice succeeds at capturing the heart of the prince.Thanks to the help of the wise Sebastian and the playful Flounder, Ariel manages to get her way and find true happiness in the world of humans.However, after watching the film, you'll want her too as Ariel is one of the sweetest pricesses ever brought up by the Disney animators.

Besides beautiful animation, fun-loving characters and an outstanding plot, The Little Mermaid also offers beautiful music, one of my favorites being the whole "Fireworks" melody, the songs, "Part of your World," "Under the Sea" and "Kiss the Girl" are top-notch, too!

The only problem with the film (Which is rather minor) is the sometimes loss of "reality," sometimes it seems as if animators had forgotten that the characters were floating underwater, a fair example is when Sebastian falls from high above, when he usually "slides" down peacefully, that fall was seen as if he had fallen in land instead of underwater, but these little mistakes are minor and do not make the film any less wonderful.

Naturally, this film has been added to the line of Platinum releases and will be getting the ultimate DVD release sometime soon, although this will most likely be the last of the series.Don't waste your money in outrageously priced DVD copies only available on eBay and Amazon, since the last release was poor and not worth the money. ...

DVD (12 February, 2002)
list price: $29.99
US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France

Editorial Review

Peter Pan has a special place in the realm of classic animatedDisney films: it instills an element of childlike wonder. The 1953 version of James M. Barrie's story is colorfully told and keeps on the straight and narrow of the book. Barrie's wondrous focus on child's play is the key to its longevity: kids who don't grow up, shadows that run away from their owners, pirates, a fairy, and the magic ability to fly. In short, you can't help wishing the adventure would happen to you. Fueled by a few memorable songs (the stunner being "You Can Fly") and the strong impression of the pixie fairy Tinkerbell and the goofy Captain Hook, Disney's version of this story neither supplants nor lessens the Broadway version with Mary Martin that was produced for television the same decade. Unlike some classics, Peter Pan never ages along the way. --Doug Thomas ... Read more

Rare Videos' Good Service
Purchased this thru Rare Videos in FlA. via Amazon. It was as advertised, English, Widescreen Version, excellent sound & NEW. I would recommend Rare Videos for other DVD's which are unavailable for purchase in retail or discount stores. Am thrilled to be sending to my grandson for his birthday. Forgot what a delightful movie this was until I reviewed it before sending it on to him (5 yrs. old).

Best Disney Movie EVER!!!
Okay, so I'm a fifteen-year-old boy. This movie has always been my favorite of all the Disney movies. I would (and still do) watch it over and over when I was little, and it is keeps getting better and better. Disney had better get this one back on the shelves soon, because I missed it the last time it came out! When this movie comes out again (which I feel sure should happen in at least 10 years) you can bet I will be one of the first people in line! I don't care if I'm in college, I'll still get it. Maybe even watch it in my dorm with the door open! I don't care if people see me, Peter Pan is one of Disney's classics. Almost everyone loves the classics, instead of the crap they put out now. This is one movie that you must have, whether you want to have a Disney collection, or because you like the classics. Like I said, this is one of Disney's best and I won't miss out on the chance of getting it when it comes out. And you shouldn't either!!

Just a lil' bit of Pixie Dust......
I am so in love with this movie, as are my kids-I watched Pan as a kid myself and to this day never got bored watching it again and again. Along with the classic Disney Princess movies-Pan is one of Disney's greatest. Even the sequel "Return to Neverland" is close in comparison. It makes every boy want to be Pan and every little girl want to be Tink!!! ... Read more

This Disney masterpiece from 1940 will hold up forever precisely because it doesn't restrain or temper the most elemental emotions and themes germane to its story. Based on the Collodi tale about a wooden puppet who wants to become a real boy, Pinocchio is among the most magical, mythical, and frightening films to come from the studio in its long history. A number of scenes make permanent impressions on young minds (just ask Steven Spielberg, who quoted the film more than once in Close Encounters of the Third Kind), and the songs ("When You Wish upon a Star") can't be beat. --Tom Keogh ...

Platinum edition due. Wait!!!
Pinocchio is planned to be re-released on a platinum/special edition (the time has not been announced yet).

The first limited issue release of this DVD was weak. Disney then re-released Pinocchio on "Gold Collection", but many of the disk inside were still limited issue disk. The limited edition DVD contains no bonus features and has a modest transfer (The sound is excellent, but the picture is sometimes grainy and color is in need of restoration).

Basically, Disney gave this film and viewers the shaft (on the first DVD release). Pinnochio Platinum wont be out till at least 2007, but it may be worth the wait. I hope when the new DVD comes out that Disney does not censor it (as they have with other DVD titles such as Melody Time).

(NOTE: the little mermaid is scheduled for platinum in 2006). Dont miss Cinderella platinum in fall 2005

...Well
if you honestly, seriously, loved your kid, and wanted him to be safe and not expose him to innappropriate stuff, this should not be shown to him. This DVD/VHS is chock full of useless stupid nonsense that I never liked. I think that if you wanted to watch something educational, watch some presidential speech.. or rugrats.. none of these new age cartoons or old age cartoons such as this. " i want to be a real boy ". Well, for one you can't talk in real life, and, nobody loves you enough for oyu to be real. This video was never one of my favorites, but instead i've always hated it in heart. If I could put a penny on every stupid line said in this movie, I would be richer than mr.gates. This thing has horrible acting, unbelievable bad singing, and it hurts me to watch it.. knowing that people actually encourage kids to watch this. I for one think if blood and groteskness is innappropriate for their kids, this is much much worse. This and the little mermaid.. basically really all the older disney films. If you other people can recall, on the old L.M. VHS box, there was a ..Long... golden.. figure in the background of the castle. Remember? That just shows how uncalled for this is, and how all this money thats being made is going tot he wrong people..... over at disney..

Avoid this film, and L.M. at all costs!

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney Special Platinum Edition)

DVD (09 October, 2001)
list price: $29.99
US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France

Editorial Review

One of the brightest nuggets from Disney's golden age, this 1937 film is almost dizzying in its meticulous construction of an enchanted world, with scores of major and minor characters (including fauna and fowl), each with a distinct identity.When you watch Snow White's intricate, graceful movements of fingers, arms, and head all in one shot, it is not the technical brilliance of Disney's artists that leaps out at you, but the very spirit of her engaging, girl-woman character. When the wicked queen's poisoned apple turns from killer green to rose red, the effect of knowing something so beautiful can be so terrible is absolutely elemental, so pure it forces one to surrender to the horror of it. Based on the Grimm fairy tale, Snow White is probably the best family film ever to deal, in mythic terms, with the psychological foundation for growing up. It's a crowning achievement and should not be missed. --Tom Keogh ... Read more

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
I recieved the movie in very good condition and on a timely basis. Thank you

THE FIRST AND THE BEST
When u see this film u may not be surprised at the action, the animals interplaying with Snow-White and so-forth... But THIS is the first one out and every cartoon owes Disney`s SNOW-WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS immensely.

The casting of the voices are brilliant(indeed Deanna Durbin was thought too mature in her voice) and Andrea Caselotti was subsequently cast in THE WIZARD OF OZ(1939) with a 1-liner - "Wherefore art thou... Romeo..." while the Tin-Man is singing out his despair and longings.

She is breathtaking as Snow-White. Though Snow-White is old-fashion and have gonebye thoughs of manners and traditions compared to her sisters Ariel, Belle, Esmeralda and Pocahontas; she still gives us a link to our childhood and our childhood dreams...

Great movie!
Not my favorite, but definitely a classic. The story line is cute and the quality is much better. Of course the movie is about a million years old (well maybe not that old), so some things may seem a little out of date. However, I've watched it a few times and have never gotten bored of it. I don't have any children, but I did watch it with my goddaughter (who is 3), and she loved it! She did get a bit scared on the part the witch is running and it's raining, but apparently not enough, since she then wanted to see the movie again. I think overall the movie is great, both the story and the DVD version. It is a real shame that is not available to purchase anymore. ... Read more

Imaginatively rendered but slightly chilly, this 1951 Disney adaptation of the Lewis Carroll classic is also appropriately surreal. Alice (voiced by Kathryn Beaumont) has all the anticipated experiences: shrinking and growing, meeting the White Rabbit, having tea with the Mad Hatter, etc. Characterization is very strong, and the Disney team worked hard to bring screen personality to Carroll's eccentric creations. For a Disney film, however, it seems more the self-satisfied sum of its inventiveness than a truly engaging experience. --Tom Keogh ... Read more

classic
A classic disney tale of the classic book.A great film for the whole family to see of a little girl who goes into her own little fantasy world of white rabbits, a mad hatter, and the evil queen of Dimands.A great way to spend time with the kids and entertaining enough to keep your attention throughout the whole movie.

Even More Curious...
Now this is what I'm talking about. I do have one of the original classic versions of Disney's: Alice In Wonderland on DVD. This; however, is what I've been looking for all along!

The film is still a beautiful little story that Disney animation brought to life of Lewis Carroll's classic tale of a little curious girl with a wide imagination called Alice. Who one day enters a world called Wonderland. And upon entering she finds herself growing up, growing small, meeting unforgettable characters such as: The Mad Hatter, The Caterpillar, The Cheshire Cat, Tweedledee/Tweedledum, The White Rabbit, and everyone's favorite mean queen The Queen of Hearts. Not to mention the talking and singing flowers & the loveable story of The Walrus & The Carpenter.

It's all about the beautiful extra's in this DVD. Generally if I'm happy with the old version of the DVD I don't buy another similar version. This was one of those exceptions - not too mention it's Disney. Mainly because it has: Thru the Mirror (my all time favorite short original Mickey Mouse feature), all sorts of games with songs & more, trivia, a new additional song, An Alice Comedy, Operation Wonderland (which is featured on the original VHS/DVD version I believe), & just tons more! If your a fan of Alice in Wonderland this is the DVD to buy!!!

Off with her head!!!!
My kids watched this movie so many times over and over that I'll bet we are burning out the DVD player and the disk. The digitally remastered version is much nicer to watch than the old version-it is much more crisp and sharp. I would recommend this movie to kids who are 3 or older-the story would be a bit too confusing to kids younger than that. It is a no brainer on this one-get it for your kids!!! ... Read more
