Some of the gift shops at the parks have various cds with park music on them. Also the Disney Classics cds (there several volumes) have a mixture of theme park and movie music. Those can be found at places like music stores and Target/Wal-Mart. Another way to listen to Disney movie/theme park music is through Radio365. It's a internet radio service that has a lot of Disney-related stations. I have that and it's nice to turn it on and be taken to the parks through it.

Unfortunately, what you are looking for does not exist. Each year, there is some sort of official album released with a very small collection of audio on it. Much of it is stuff that's alread been released, sometimes they throw us a bone and give us something new (and often even that isn't really an accurate version of the actual audio).

You can start by picking up the official albums, call WDW Merchandising and tell them you want one of ALL the CDs they currently have available. At least you'll show them you're willing to pay for park music.

Then pull up google and start searcihng the internet. I'm sure you'll find a wealth of unofficially released music. Don't bother with ehe Internet radio version, they are all low bitrate copies of what you can find for yourself.

My current colleciton tops out at about 8 full days of continuous non repeating park audio, including background music loops, attraction soundtracks, ride throughs, even recording studio outtakes, etc. Most of it DOES NOT come from official releases. Much of it is fan obtained...

Hope that helps!

As a previous poster suggested, internet radio Live 365.

Like a couple of the previous posters, it is best to start with getting what cd's you can from the parks themselves. IMHO, that's where all great music collections start and of course it helps the actual artists pocketbooks and gets them some recognition After that, you'll need to check around the web and/or filesharing programs to locate other music. Some you might be able to buy, others you might have download(which most downloaded is going to be from fans so could be low quality, the rest supposedly is straight from the source from WDW employees and/or bootleggers). My personal collection is also pretty decent at about 5 days worth non-stop, non-repeating. Mind sharing a list of your music you have with me DizneyRox? I'll share mine as well. Who knows, might have some songs the other doesn't.

Sent a PM. I needed to edit the list a little, but it's still about 600K! I sent the file via yousendit.
