[...] WDW Fan Zone had a great post about getting a quick Disney fix by listening to background music from the resort! I really need to get my hands on some of these [...]

Live 365 is my best friend. I’ve forsaken most of my podcasts in lieu of it! I’d say my top ones are Retro EPCOT entrance music. I can listen to that an instantly be transported to being 4 or 5 an in a stroller leaving the park at night and looking up at SSE! Second, the old The Land Loop! I’m with Michelle on that one! My other favorites are pretty much all retro Epcot, so the Seas, Horizons, and I do like the Innoventions Plaza loop (I’ll get yelled at for that lol).

Honestly I’ve acquired them from friends over the years, but the songs used in tomorrowland and illuminations pre-show can be found on iTunes.

Ooo yes! I debated about the Muppets myself. It is really hard to limit it to just 5.

Oh man! This sounds amazing! I would LOVE to have background music loops on my computer and iPod … especially the Future World and Main Street USA loops! Where on earth did you get recordings of them?!

Background music loops – all the Mickey fix, none of the strange looks you get when Small World is playing and someone walks up to your desk!

You had several of my favorites in your list, but I think my top 5 would be:

1 the Land loop (the older version where all the songs had something to do with land or weather or seasons)
2 the Old Key West Resort loop (it is a fantastic compilation of Jimmy Buffet, steel drums and island music)
3 the Illuminations pre-show loop
4 the old Osborne Lights area music loop (The single best compilation of Christmas music I have ever found!), but it is the version from the pre-dancing lights radio station era
5 the MuppetVision area music loop – all those great old Muppet songs!
