On this rainy day in Walt Disney World, we're headed to the UK Pavilion in Epcot Center for a bite to eat at the Rose & Crown Pub. We've got a nice, relatively sheltered spot just outside the pub where we can sit and relax while we wait for our table. Then we'll head onto the pub's patio for a bite to eat and a little more cover. Whether you're in the mood for some mushy peas, a shepherd's pie, a pint or just a cuppa, take some time to sit back and let yourself unwind. A rainy day spent here really is more magical than all the blue skies and sunshine we could find elsewhere. ----- Want More Here With The Magic?

Tucked away in Disneyland's New Orleans Square, the Haunted Mansion has been decorated for the Christmas season, but Jack Skellington and the residents of Halloweentown couldn't resist putting a ~ sinister ~ twist on all the holiday cheer. Instead of visions of sugar plums dancing in our heads, the 999 happy haunts have awoken for a holly jolly, swinging wake. Some might even refer ti it as...a Nightmare Before Christmas. One of my favorite things about the Haunted Mansion's Nightmare Before Christmas overlay is actually found outside the Mansion! Unsurprisingly, maybe, it's the queue music and ambient sounds of the surrounding area. And I'm happy to say that I've included that too, on the tail end of the podcast, in case you want to hang out in the space after our tour. ----- Want More Here With The Magic?

It's the merriest time of year at the Happiest Place on Earth, including here in Cars Land at Disney California Adventure! The Haul-idays are Here in Radiator Springs, and the cutest little town in Carburetor County has revved up the whimsy and fun for the occasion. All along Route 66, tail lights are strung up on traffic cone Christmas trees, white-wall tires are adorned with bows and hung up like wreaths on garlands of air filters! Crescent wrench snowflakes sparkle in the neon lights of Flo's Café and the Cozy Cone Motel, where tasty treats are being served up to hungry holiday travelers. The haul-iday season in Cars Land is fantastically cheesy, and nostalgic and playful and everything we all hope that we'll find, experience, and remember each time Christmas comes to town. And being Here in this quaint little tumbleweed town is right up our alley! ----- Want More Here With The Magic?

Soundscapes: Disney's Animal Kingdom Entrance Plaza The entrance plaza to Disney's Animal Kingdom hosts an overture so wonderfully captivating that some regard it as one of the most beautiful scores of sound to be heard across all of Walt Disney World. Here, on the precipice of adventure, we are invited into a moment of calm. Of all the theme parks at Walt Disney World, Disney's Animal Kingdom seems to capture that balance better than all the rest. While there's no shortage of thrills and excitement to be found in the park, this is a space which, if you stop to listen, may cause you to linger for quite a while. ----- Want More Here With The Magic?

Soundscapes: Buena Vista Street Halloween By day, Buena Vista Street In Disney California Adventure is filled with jazzy tunes, friendly faces, and an echo of 1920s Los Angeles. But by night, during the Halloween season, those friendly faces turn nefarious as Oogie Boogie fills the street with frightful suspense, otherworldly music, and surprising spooks around every corner. It's Buena Vista Street as you've never seen or experienced it before, an entirely new story filled with bone-chilling enchantment. Give yourself over to the spooky (but really not-so-scary) Magic of this space, the unexpected twists and turns, and the rumbling of something that might be lurking just out of sight… This is Halloween…trick or treat! ----- Want More Here With The Magic?

As the original Magic Kingdom and the only park Walt knew intimately and saw to completion, we as Disney lovers and lifers seem to have an inherent attachment to the place that inspires a soul-stirring, heart-soaring feeling every time we step beyond its gates. What's weird is that my couple of childhood trips were actually to Walt Disney World. I didn't visit Disneyland until decades later. But still, there's this unmistakable feeling of nostalgia that I think many of us find at Disneyland. We know that Magic lives Here. We don't need to have experienced it as children to feel it. It's so powerful here, that it brings forth that inner child, regardless of age. And, for me, there may be no place where I feel that inner child leaping forward more than in Tomorrowland. All around this space, there is an abundant joy -- laughter of current guests and echoes from family vacations long past. Waves from little hands flying rocket ships and faces alight with the wonder of new discovery, and in search of galaxies far, far, away. Even the techno-futuristic music seems to carry a nostalgic tune throughout the entire land. And though Tomorrowland is often classified as the place for thrill-seekers, there's something Here for those of us who enjoy a slower pace. The rooftop queue of the mighty Space Mountain, the sprawling retro-classic bandstand at the Tomorrowland Terrace, the lagoon at the reimagined submarine voyage…quiet spaces to pause and reflect. And it makes for great people watching too -- and listening! It's hard to explain Tomorrowland to someone who's never visited. Essentially, it's a dream that keeps on dreaming. A future that never was, but could someday be. But before we can get to Tomorrow, we have to immerse ourselves in the right now, because today holds all the Magic we need for this moment. Right here in Tomorrowland, where the future has arrived.

If you missed it, I encourage you to go back and check it out. But not necessarily right now. Like the other Disney parks, the wonderful thing about Epcot Center is that there's no "proper" way to explore Epcot. There are, however, plenty of opinions about the correct way to experience my favorite park. And yes, I have my own thoughts. Which is why, for our walk around Epcot's World Showcase, we'll begin at the Port of Entry and then proceed, clockwise, making our way from Mexico to Canada. World Showcase is arguably what makes Epcot the favorite park for so many people. Walt Disney enjoyed traveling the world with his family, bringing ideas back that made their way into his park and future plans. And, for all of Walt's daydreaming of castles and faraway kingdoms, it's easy to imagine the joy and delight he would have felt as he explored each of the eleven nations represented Here. A vibrant collection of cultures, traditions, and the people who have carried them from generation to generation, World Showcase is exactly that - an exhibition of timeless stories and breathtaking spaces, both exotic and familiar. As we wander through each, see if you can make out, not just the transition points that introduce us to our next destination, but also the hidden alcoves and tranquil spaces that invite us to pause -- and let the Magic come to us.

While Walt's dream for Epcot was never fully — or even close to fully realized, it's still a remarkable tribute to his original ideals; his spirit of discovery, his fascination with the future and its endless possibilities, and the invitation to celebrate that future together. And it happens to be my favorite Disney park. So I'm excited to have you come along with me for this first of two episodes where we explore and appreciate the Soundscapes of this wonderful place. Listen closely for the sounds of your own favorite areas. No on-attraction music will be featured in this episode, but I think you'll be able to place the location of most of what you hear. If not, you can always check the show notes which include time-stamps for the various areas we wander through. Now, Epcot is always evolving and, at the time of this recording, undergoing its biggest transformation. So, the Future World that you hear today is but a moment in time. And I'm thrilled to be able to share that moment with you right now.

From the moment we step into the lobby, the space is abuzz with excitement, full of music and performance posters, all building a joyous anticipation of what's to come! Inside the theater itself, dazzling chandeliers and velvet curtains offer that quintessentially elegant ambience that promises something spectacular to come. As we settle into our seats, the sound of the orchestra warming up brings our anticipation to a crescendo. Mickey's Philharmagic is an immersive experience like no other. Here, we are not only reliving all the nostalgia of these time-honored Disney stories…we are a part of them. Our imaginations are awakened and our senses held spellbound as we follow Donald through a montage of Magic…and mayhem. Listen for the chime of Big Ben and feel the cool night air of London as we fly away to Neverland with Peter Pan. Indulge in the aroma of French delights as Lumière and his enchanted ensemble serenade us. Sing along with Simba and Miguel, Ariel and Aladdin as we soar over Agrabah, swim to the depths of Atlantica, and discover what it means to be truly Here With the Magic. Now sit back, relax, and put on your “Opera” glasses. The show is about to begin!

Despite all the changes, the Disney Springs Marketplace area still retains the charm of its former persona. With larger-than-life characters comprised entirely of Legos and enchanting twinkle lights dancing in the trees, this little corner of Disney Springs is a more intimate, whimsical setting; a celebration of that timeless Disney nostalgia and childlike excitement that we associate with the first few hours of vacation. In every moment, that atmosphere is brought to life by a score of classic Disney songs, synthesized and arranged to set the scene and amplify the energy of this place. Complementing the music is the excited chatter and laughter of guests, chirping birds, and even the distant hum of lawnmowers. What you will here is, essentially, the soundtrack of a Disney summer. And I am excited to be able to share that with you now.

Safeguarded by a ceremonial gate characteristic of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, the architecture is staggering in both accuracy and majesty, embodying centuries of traditions and stories in every ornate feature. Moving beyond the entrance, shops and street vendors, bursting with color and intrigue, invite us to pause and peruse. Wandering the streets of this pavilion, we get swept up by the elaborate narratives that play out in elegant parasols and whimsical cats, in captivating sights and mouthwatering aromas. On the right side of the pavilion, the House of Prayer stands sentinel as the crowning jewel of this space. Opulent and adorned with authenticity, this curvilinear space is a place of rest and quiet reflection. It is imperative in its tranquility, beckoning us to find a moment of pause, enveloped by its gentle grace. Outside, charming footbridges carry us into a mindful state of contemplation - past thickets of bamboo and little waterfalls spilling into pools scattered with water lilies. The ambient music here is, unsurprisingly, as perfectly balanced as its architecture. As we listen, we are, without conscious effort, drawn into a state of Zen. Now, enjoy the sounds of Epcot's China Pavilion.

Soundscapes: Coronado Springs Resort --> Don't skip this one! ----- Want More Here With The Magic? Visit The Website: https://herewiththemagic.com Watch Here: https://www.youtube.com/HereWithTheMagic Watch the corresponding video for this Soundscape: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYKxmD-2I-8 Connect on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/herewiththemagic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/herewiththemagic/ -- I was so so wrong. For years, I had no interest in visiting Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. I'm not sure why. Maybe it was because of it being a convention resort. Maybe something about the theming just didn't land with me the way other resorts did. Whatever the reason, all of that changed in 2019. On a rainy summer evening in July of that year, I joined a friend for a visit to Gran Destino Tower, the brand new addition to this resort. I fell in love with the Tower -- its restaurants and lounges, its public spaces, and, yes, its ambient music. Over time, I returned to this resort again and again, mostly for the Tower. But eventually I ventured out to explore the rest of the Coronado Springs property. And...it was wonderful! Still is! Winding paths, courtyards, fountains, parks...every corner I turned provided new discoveries -- visually and audibly. To discover something delightfully new in Walt Disney World is, well, maybe you know the feeling. It's amazing and refreshing and, well, this time it was also a little embarrassing. After all, I had put off visiting this resort for so long. And I was wrong to do that. I allowed preconceived notions to influence me. I know better than that. At least I do now. It's with this in mind that I hope you give a listen to this resort's amazing soundscape. Let the sounds and the tunes transport you to the desert southwest, and beyond.

Soundscapes: Carousel of Progress ----- Want More Here With The Magic? Visit The Website: https://herewiththemagic.com Watch Here: https://www.youtube.com/HereWithTheMagic Connect on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/herewiththemagic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/herewiththemagic/ -- When General Electric approached Walt Disney to create an imaginative, immersive attraction for the 1964 New York World's Fair, they lit of a spark of inspiration that still burns bright to this day. Everything about his “Progressland” pavilion was revolutionary and one-of-a-kind. From the clockwise rotating theater to the advanced Audio Animatronics and the original song composed by the incomparable Sherman Brothers, it was an experience entirely unique to this venue of dreamers and innovators. Thousands of people came, saw, and were mesmerized by Walt Disney's “Progressland,” but even he could have had no idea at the time just how treasured and beloved his show would become in the decades that followed. Known today as Walt Disney's “Carousel of Progress,” this rotating spectacle of American innovation has taken up permanent residence at Walt Disney World, inside Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom. A tribute to Walt's quintessential enterprise and ambition, this attraction remains a space of nostalgia, warmth, comfort and connection to the Disney that once was, and a place to remember the leaps and bounds of progress that have brought us all to where we are today. Once a temporary draw for summertime tourists in mid-century America, this truly timeless experience is a celebration of possibility and a testament to the power of genuine curiosity. It is a tangible and observable manifestation of the ideals of the young and the young at heart, the dreamers and the doers; we who avidly seek joy in new discoveries and work toward a great, big, beautiful tomorrow. And so we invite you to join us as we take our seats in this iconic revolving theater - the show is about to begin!

And it's also about introducing listeners to some spaces that may have gone undiscovered, overlooked, or underappreciated. One of the things that I love about Disney parks and resorts is that they are full of surprises. Wonderful little audible gems that can only be appreciated by slowing down, maybe taking a moment to pause, and savouring these incredibly imagineered spaces. It turns out that the entrance to Star Tours in Disney's Hollywood Studios is one of these places. I'm not sure how many times I passed through this area without fully appreciating it, but one relatively recent night, I happened to be standing in this area, taking in the scene, when I realized there was an abundance of wonderful ambient sound that had somehow missed my ears during many, many previous visits. Of course, I immediately knew I needed to capture this moment and share it with you! What you'll hear, beneath the towering evergreens of this faraway Ewok planet, is a Soundscape thriving with life and activity. This place serves as a sanctuary, a haven from the galaxy's distant rumblings. It seems that even the farthest reaches of the Galaxy hold Magic reminiscent of places that feel like home. Here, we find a warm whisper of welcome, a call to relax and let the sounds of droids and battleships intermingle with the wildlife and tree canopies rustling in the wind. Even in the midst of what is ostensibly a Star Wars production set, we find a quiet moment of joy and contentment, a space to be utterly at ease, and one with the story. The Star Wars Saga has stood the test of time, not just for its exceptional humanity, but for its ability to find us where we are and bring us Here, to spaces that feel both familiar and ethereal, out-of-this-world and entirely within our element. We are joined by our collective, shared journey, and all that we seek along the way. The Rebels and the Revelers, the Resistance and the Reflective…seeking harmony; to bring our world into balance. Light and darkness, chaos and calm, Magic held in the moments of Mundane. Right Here in Endor, or in the breathtaking embrace of your own backyard; right Here With the Magic that connects us all.

Soundscapes: Epcot's Italy Pavilion ----- Want More Here With The Magic?

Positioned in the heart of EPCOT's World Showcase, the elegant stone archways of Doge's Palace and the iconic Campanile are easily distinguishable amongst the pyramids and pagodas of the other represented nations. They are time-honored and steadfast, resilient as the people who call the Adriatic coastal city their home. They have known what it means to persevere, to greet each new day as an opportunity to celebrate life, and to find joy in the midst of their circumstances, whatever they might be. And so it is through that lens that we explore this pavilion today, with all its colors and textures and intricate details. Everywhere we look, there are spaces that seem designed for quiet moments of reflection. Hidden alcoves and stairways to nowhere ignite our curiosity, while verandas climbing with vines inspire thoughts of Shakespearean romance. Fountains and porticos crowned with exquisite tiles and mythological statues speak through the intervening centuries. Here, every moment is a chance to engage in the rich and enduring culture that has made Italy the object of wanderlust for generations. Italians are a people with a knack for taking something simple and creating something enchanting. Terraces and tables laden with handmade pastas, wood-fired pizzas, and indulgent layers of tiramisu, are a mouthwatering tribute to this affinity. And every clink of a glass, twirl of a fork, and shout of “Saluti” is a swell of sound that lets us know we're being welcomed into somewhere special, somewhere unforgettable. Perhaps we'll enjoy an affogato from the courtyard steps, while Sergio the masterful, miming juggler entertains us with another captivating performance. Then maybe we'll stroll along the Venetian canals, making our way from footbridge to footbridge, listening to the water lap against the gondolas, as the sun begins to set in the distance. That's the Magic of Italy - a slower, more intentional way of life. So be Here in the pervasive joy of this place. Discover it, get lost in it, let it fill you with music and laughter and something ridiculously delicious. Enjoy the Sweetness of Doing Nothing, in this wonderful and beautiful pavilion.

Visit The Website: https://herewiththemagic.com Watch Here: https://www.youtube.com/HereWithTheMagic Connect on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/herewiththemagic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/herewiththemagic/ -- Welcome back to our Grand Circle Tour of Disneyland. We pick up where we left off, entering the HUB from Frontierland where we encounter the park's quintessential horse drawn trolley. Next, we'll cross the drawbridge which serves as a medieval gateway to Sleeping Beauty Castle and into the quaint, Alpine village of Fantasyland. Here, we might topple down a rabbit hole and into Wonderland, soar into the sky with Dumbo, or take off on a wild ride with Mr. Toad. Maybe we'll fly away to Neverland with Peter Pan, or traverse the magnificent Matterhorn, yodeling all the way, of course. Or we could opt for a more serene experience and board a picturesque canal boat, rowing gently down the stream into Storybookland, where tiny vignettes of classic fairytales are displayed for our delight. Along the way, allow yourself to be reminded that the happiness we so ardently desire is with us all the time...simply waiting for us to find it. It lives around every corner, proclaimed in every story and song that we bring home with us from this Magical place. But for now, let's go explore and enjoy the sounds of this pixie-dusted Kingdom, where we take our next steps into our very own “Happily Ever After.”

Visit The Website: https://herewiththemagic.com Watch Here: https://www.youtube.com/HereWithTheMagic Connect on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/herewiththemagic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/herewiththemagic/ -- To all who come to this happy place, welcome. On a sweltering day in mid-July, nearly seventy years ago, Walt Disney spoke those timeless words in his dedication of his very first namesake park: Disneyland. He invited us to step into a world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy. Today, a fairytale castle gleams in the distance, our gateway to all the Magic that is held in Walt's time-honored speech. Adventure and excitement await in the moments ahead, of that we can be sure. Whether we embark on a journey down the Rivers of America or swing down to New Orleans Square for some jazzy revelry and sweet beignets, these will be moments to treasure. To imagine walking right down the middle of Main Street USA with Walt. To encounter with him, those quiet moments of pause, where we discover joy that is priceless and peaceful and perfect. They are the alcoves and hideaways, the treehouses and terraces…the places where we stop just to take in the view, to truly relish the sensation of being in the Happiest Place on Earth. It's a leisurely stroll through the tumbleweed town of Frontierland, or pausing to listen to the babbling brooks of Critter Country. The Magic continues to thrive in all of these places. So I invite you to join me for the first part of a grand circle tour of Disneyland, as we experience it in a way that will speak to your nostalgic spirit and childlike heart. Along the way, I hope you'll celebrate every joyful moment you encounter, savor every quiet space, and be Here With the Magic of the place that started it all.

Soundscapes: Epcot's France Pavilion ----- Want More Here With The Magic? Visit The Website: https://herewiththemagic.com Watch Here: https://www.youtube.com/HereWithTheMagic Watch the corresponding video for this Soundscape: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FA1-3iM_1Z0 Connect on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/herewiththemagic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/herewiththemagic/ -- To understand “Joie de vivre” is to understand the heart of France itself, the philosophy that casts a glimmer of romance and Magic on all things French. From culture to cuisine, cities to countryside, and the undeniable charisma of its people, it distinguishes this space from every other international vignette we find Here in EPCOT. “Joie de vivre” is loosely translated to mean an exuberant joy of life.  It may be experienced as a joy of everything, a comprehensive joy, a philosophy of life. Greater than emotion and more lasting than happiness, it's a resiliency of spirit that can be found just as easily on a crowded street in Paris as in the fragrant lavender fields of Provence. The layout of the France Pavilion is themed to its most popular city, Paris. It's meant to evoke the feel of a Parisian neighborhood with enchanting touches including wide boulevards, elegant rose gardens, fountains, and fascinating architecture matching the Belle Epoque era. The space is, of course, complete with the Eiffel Tower looming in the distance waiting to greet those who wish to explore the beauty of the pavilion in which it resides. It's no wonder why the France pavilion is often cited as a favorite among World Showcase guests. Soothed by the gentle splash of water and the lullaby of period music, we are swept away by the allure of the City of Light and off on a sensory adventure. At its essence, “joie de vivre” is the joy we speak to so often around Here - the experience we invite when we pause and allow the Magic to come to us, to immerse ourselves in a story that our spirit knows by feeling, but not by name. It is indulgence - in every taste and smell and breathtaking sight - in the moments all around us which inspire reflection and elation, tranquility and delight. We who are compelled to wander for the sake of wandering embark upon journeys for the sake of fulfilling an inherent need to go, to explore…to dwell richly in every moment and experience all the joy of life that comes from being Here With the Magic. Come along with me as we walk the streets of this intoxicating pavilion. On every street corner, in every café, in every springtime bloom and autumn breeze, whispers of joy stir the soul of every curious human spirit. Can you hear it? Welcome to France.

Settled along the Rivers of America, a moment of pause beneath the shade of the Liberty Tree is the perfect place to reflect on the significance of this space. Looking out towards the Rivers of America, the steady churn of the Liberty Belle and her unmistakable whistle remind us of what it takes to breathe life into this American dream. Be resolute and bold. Be consistent and true. Neither this country nor Walt himself ever embarked on a new journey under the illusion that the path that lay ahead would be unencumbered or easy. We stumble, and we get up. We make mistakes, and we correct and learn from them. We reflect on our values and we keep moving forward…as a Nation, as a people, and as dreamers and doers of all ages and walks of life. And so as you wander through the spaces that comprise this foray into the America of “Once Upon a Time,” listen for the sounds that echo through the centuries; the sounds that tell a story of victory and triumph, of failure and loss, of growth and the unwavering hope we have in tomorrow. America is not a fantasy; it's no longer a new frontier. But nestled between those two lands, it is a space to find a moment to pause, a moment to reflect on how far we've come on our journey as a nation, and as individual people, and how much more there still is to learn and discover. Together. And it's in that frame of mind that we find joy, for wherever the path ahead might lead, we can always find our way back Here to this space where Magic is not so much marked by pixie dust as it is by a flag proudly waving in a warm summer breeze. Its broad stripes and bright stars are a beacon of hope, a promise of freedom, and an endeavor to create an even bolder and brighter tomorrow than the one we know today. The American Dream…right Here With the Magic. Welcome to Liberty Square.

Visit The Website: https://herewiththemagic.com Watch Here: https://www.youtube.com/HereWithTheMagic Connect on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/herewiththemagic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/herewiththemagic/ -- It's no secret to Disney fans that something Magical happened whenever Walt Disney and the Sherman Brothers gathered around the piano to dream, compose, and create together. Whimsical lyrics, jaunty tunes, and timeless storytelling were the hallmark of their partnership, and their project for the 1964 New York World's Fair was no exception. it's a small world was born out of the Fair's overarching theme, entitled “Peace Through Understanding.” This concept not only played perfectly into the hands of a man who refused to grow up, but also into the creative minds of imagineers with an unmatched talent for conveying powerful messages through the wholesome and hopeful eyes of a child. And although the attraction is largely known today as being the one with the surreptitiously catchy song, we who have a passion for Disney storytelling and its ability to touch our hearts at every age recall those words with fond reminiscence and a joyful heart. “There is just one moon and one golden sun, and a smile means friendship to everyone. Though the mountains divide and the oceans are wide…” When we come together to be Here With the Magic, we find genuine connection, a sense of community, and a space where we can set our childlike imagination free. Wherever you are, wherever you come from, wherever your journey might take you tomorrow, it's Here that we find it really IS a small world after all. It's Here we discover the joy that keeps us young at heart and our spirit light. And it's Here we feel connected to our entire global family by those golden threads of youth, woven in a timeless song and a story of togetherness.

I love everything about this space. Pausing outside to listen to the Pavilion's area music, the crashing of the Imagineered waves, the entertaining calls of "Mine Mine Mine!" And then there is the queue. A wonderful space in its own right, not to be missed. Here, we abandon the bright sunlight of the world above for the soothing depths of the sea. Within seconds, the boundless ocean seems to wrap us in a kind of peace that feels worlds away from our own.  Everything glimmers in the blue semi-darkness, bathing us in an ethereal glow. Here, creatures of all shapes and sizes float along in their unhurried tranquility, each a unique part of a greater story - including little clownfish and ancient sea turtles, dancing anemones and galloping seahorses.  I invite you to listen closely, not just to the gentle symphony that echoes the water's movement, but to the joyful observations of those around us. Our fellow guests are as much the stars Here as the beloved characters we came to see. Hear their delight, their exclamations of excitement; the enamored adults who remain connected to their childlike wonder and imagination. So come along with us and experience the true and lasting joy of this place.  Be Here in the Big, Blue World, where an ocean of childlike wonder and joy has been waiting for you. Just keep swimming.

Rows upon rows of lush, fragrant trees as far as the eye can see. Once upon a time, a man named Walt Disney walked through this very grove and admired the sunlight peeking through the branches, the bright-floral scent, the sprawling vastness of it all… He walked, and he admired, and he imagined what it could be. But instead of seeing the forest for the trees, he saw a castle with gleaming spires. He saw snow-capped mountains, tropical hideaways, and winding rivers. He envisioned a place that would preserve the tangible beauty of the natural world, intertwined with the fantasy, hope and adventure of a fairytale come to vivid life. He began to sketch in his mind's eye a place where dreamers of all ages could find light in the darkness, joy in the journey, and Magic in every moment.  And so Disneyland was realized from that place of pause. From a quiet moment of reflection came generations of  incomprehensible joy, laughter, memories, and inspiration.  Today, we celebrate that unlikely beginning, and the timeless narrative that is still being written Here inside this living storybook. We come together beneath the stars to swim through oceans and fly off to Neverland, to travel across the Pridelands and sail across frozen fjords in search of the incomparable feeling of joyful nostalgia. Disneyland is a haven for the childlike spirit, a place to feel carefree when the strains of the world are heavy. It is a place to find Walt's promise evermore fulfilled - that all who come to this happy place will find Magic in abundance.  And on this Magic night, as a spell of glimmering, shimmering light and color dances across the sky, we are reminded of that humble orange grove. We call to mind for a moment the unforgettable person who walked between the trees that once stood in this very space, and imagined something that would be forever known to generations of dreamers as Disneyland, the Happiest Place on Earth. Be Here, and step into the Magic.

It highlights the powerful connection we have with all living things of the past, present, and imagined future. It's own story is deliberately designed to be an evolving illustration, rendered in part, by nature's hand,  Today, we gather at the edge of Discovery River, taking a moment to pause and celebrate the spirit of this incredible park with a viewing of Kite Tails; a show that caught me by surprise in terms of the emotional resonance I felt the first time I saw it. A wind-song playing against a canvas of bright blue Florida sky, the kites that soar over the water recount some of Disney's most beloved stories, including The Lion King and The Jungle Book. Like the characters in those stories, the show is vivacious and vibrant and larger than life. Take a seat and allow yourself to enjoy the wonderful pre-show melodies that so many guests miss out on hearing in their rush to the next attraction. There is Magic in the music that echoes all around us Here, in the lyrics we've heard a hundred times before. They are timeless, and still, entirely of this moment, not just for their whimsy, but for their wisdom and truth. Just keep swimming. Look for the bare necessities. Remember who you are. Here, where nature and Disney storytelling converge and invite us to be a part of the tale, we find inspiration and light. We feel solidarity in knowing that there are spaces like these all around us, rested in the elements that make up our marvelous planet. They are Here for us, welcoming us to turn to them for a moment of rest in the chaos, for a moment of encouragement to restore our spirit on the journey, and for a moment, to just enjoy being Here With the Magic.

Welcome to the mystery, romance, and adventure that is Trader Sam's. Here you'll find wall to wall novelties and curiosities from the far reaches of the globe. Our hosts are none other than off-duty Jungle Cruise Skippers, serving up tropical drinks and their signature blend of jokes! We come Here this evening in search of both respite AND revelry. One without the other would make for a far less memorable experience, and being Here With the Magic is, after all, all about finding moments of joy in sometimes undiscovered places. We begin on the terrace where the gentle strum of a ukulele and the distant sound of ferryboats crossing Seven Seas Lagoon are all that disrupt our oasis.  But inside the dimly lit, mysterious Grog Grotto, a cacophony of sounds meet our ears, each as mysterious and amusing as the next. It would not be out of the ordinary to see a zombie dragging itself by its...are those limbs? Or perhaps a diver in an inner tube, newly escaped from the mighty Nautilus. You never know; we might even be enlisted to help, ummm, dispatch hippopotamuses from trees or appease the tiki gods with sacrifices of cinnamony flames.  Anything goes in this ballyhoo of fun and whimsy, and we're Here for it all. From the idyllic sunset views along the sprawling Tiki Terrace to the eruption of lights and sounds within, Trader Sam has certainly offered the best of both sides of the proverbial coin; the buried treasure we are constantly pursuing. Magic, in moments of chaos and moments of calm, in spaces bursting with life or idle with serenity. We find it all Here, in the heart of an island paradise.  I hope you're ready for an unforgettable adventure! So, welcome aboard…ashore…or wherever you are. Aloha, and welcome to Trader Sam's Grog Grotto!

I'm Jason, and I'll be your chief flight attendant today. We'll begin our tour in just a few moments, but first I'd like to invite you to sit back, relax, and let your imagination soar to new heights as we journey up and down the Golden State in search of breathtaking views, new horizons, and, of course, quiet moments of joy.

As we embark upon a high-flying, hang-gliding adventure along the Pacific Coast and across the Golden State, we'll take flight from the desert aviation base of Condor Flats in Disney California Adventure. Follow the aromatic pines on a trip down Redwood Creek or take a hot air balloon ride over the sprawling vineyards of Napa Valley. Breathe the salty air of Monterey Bay, bask in the glory of Yosemite Falls, and delight in the intoxicating scent of Camarillo orange groves. Hear the gentle crash of the waves on the shores of Malibu, and be soothed by the warm serenity of a Pacific Coast twilight. Even in the throes of the infamous Los Angeles traffic, our vantage point above it all allows the beauty to emerge from the hustle and bustle of a night spent among the city lights. Quiet moments of joy, even in the most unlikely places…that's the Magic we offer you Here, today. So we hope you'll summon your sense of wonder and discover how uniquely each new panorama can speak to the wanderer within you - to the spirit that longs to take flight and soar.
